Touareg

  • 12,500 miles
I took my vehicle in to the tire shop this morning to have the tire patched for a small screw that was picked up during normal operation. I received a call a short time later from tire shop telling me that the sidewall of my tire had failed. This is the second sidewall failure my Goodyear Eagle ls-2's have experienced in less than 2 months. Vehicle is 2015 Volkswagen Touareg, and the tires were original with the vehicle. 50% failure rate is unacceptable. I had to replace the first one and will be forced to replace the second one as well. These are around $325 per tire, so out around $650 in less than a year, but I feel incredibly lucky that neither incident was at speed, or the loss could have been much heavier. I am a father to two wonderful children, and I do not feel like these tires are safe, and am beyond concerned for their well being.
