Nope, just driving city, suburban and highway nothing out of the norm.
I keep the tire pressure at 32 PSI. as stated on the door tag. I have never seen this on any other tire I ever owned. I have only had GY tires one other time and they were great. This set is comming apart right where the tread meets the sidewall kinda like a recapped truck tire you see on the side of the highway. Weird.
I'm going to go to the selling dealer we got the car from and see what they have to say. There is no warranty left on the car but, I thought perhaps someone else may have experienced this.
BTW, when we bought this car the 09 5 door S. we also bought an 09 3 door yaris. The other one has Bridgestones and they look just fine. The S came with an LS tire. (luxury/sport?)
Both cars are automatic and stock. Go figure?
I was hoping there was a recall I did'nt know about so I would'nt have to pay out of pocket for new tires. If I do this will be the last set of Goodyear tires I ever own.
O' one more thing the car has 40K miles on it and the tread is still good.
When these tires are new they have a tread depth of 10/32nds currently the tires in question have 5/32nds tread remaining so they are only 50% worn and comming apart.
