Goodyear Eagle rs-a tires under 6 months old burst from sidewall. The first tire had a slow side wall leak that may have initiated while driving on local roads. The second tire spontaneously burst at the sidewall while driving on the highway at a speed in excess of 65 mph. The hole was large enough for roadside to put his finger through. No tire pressure sensors noted an issue prior to both events.
