Had Goodrich Advantage Plus tire on my car with about 15K miles on it. Driving about 50mph on Interstate when tire decided to develop tread separation & develop bulges,about to blow out in multiple areas. Lost control of the car in heavy traffic & almost hit a wall. Reported incident to Goodrich Customer No-Service who acted very cavalier about it. Tells me to take it to their representative, Discount Tire Co., for their evaluation. They determined it was a defective tire, calls Goodrich, & Goodrich shuns it off citing it as a discontinued tire. Will be generous enough to give me a 20 percent discount toward another tire. Will NOT replace it. My life is only worth 20 percent(about $10)! Isn't that big of them? Sounds like Firestone all over again. Is ther anyone else reading this with similar situation who would like to start a class action? I am livid. Thought Goodrich was a reputable company until now. They can take their big discount and put it where the sun don't shine!
