Goodyear RV Tires: Defective Product

A popular Goodyear RV Tire has a serious design flaw and can potentially cause an accident resulting in serious injury or death. There have been reports of Goodyear Tire Model #G159 in size 275/70 22.5 failing without warning and causing serious accidents involving the RV they were mounted on. This model Goodyear tire has a history of de-treads and failures and is not safe or appropriate for use on RV's.

A number of RV manufacturers including Fleetwood and Monaco, used this defective tire on several of their Class A RV models manufactured between the mid 1990's and approximately 2004. The tire is still on the market although Goodyear and some of the RV manufacturers have initiated limited recalls and tire replacement programs for the G159. There are thousands of RV's in use today across North America equipped with this dangerous tire.

There are a number of lawsuits already filed to recover damages caused by these tires. These lawsuits involve RV owners who suffered catastrophic failure of one or more of their G159 Goodyear tires while driving their RV. Serious accidents resulted from the failures.

If you or someone you know has G159 Goodyear Tires on an RV, you may want to seek legal help.

Goodyear RV tires - Another Recall?
"My motor home only has 19,000 miles on it and the Goodyear tires are already showing signs of wearing," says Paul Barns. "What will it take for Goodyear to issue a nationwide recall - a serious injury or even death?"

Goodyear G159 Tires Not Safe For RV Use
Consumers who drive RVs should check to see what type of tire they are driving on and if they find the Goodyear G159 275/70 22.5, make arrangements to have their tires changed. This is because the Goodyear G159 was not designed for use on recreational vehicles but was still used on some.

In 1972 l bought four brand new tires for my Volkswagen before days before l left for Arizona, They we bought at Goodyear located on Mt. Hope ave in Rochester. And before we arrived in Arizona’s had to stop in Ohio the tires needed to be replaced at a tire dealership!!! An unbelievable situation!!! My wife and l and our Six month old child were out at risk because these new tires tread was dangerously with already, We were forced to buy new tires, Good Year knew then their tires were Shit tires and l should have reported them when we returned.!!!! That company should be shut down and please include me in a lawsuit if it’s possible

After four blowouts it seems that Goodyear may not be the only idiot.

I currently have the G159 tires on my 30' Class "A" ( it is 3/21/16) . Has any one had any luck or heard of anyone having any luck getting Good Year to help with the cost of replacing the dangerous tires?

In 2012 I purchased 2 new Goodyear tires for my RV front axle. In 2014 and about 12,000 miles later I noticed the middle tread to be worn down below the two inner and two outer treads. I have had 1 tire person say it was separation, and 2 other tire people say it was just defective but okay to drive on. Now, about 5,000 miles later, the middle tread is quite pronounced. I am wondering if the Goodyear dealer in Gillette, WY sold me some defective tires as I negotiated a lower price since we use the RV for our charitable nonprofit for disabled campers and RVers. We live in rural Colorado and the nearest dealer is Durango but the shop is too small. The next place is Albuquerque, NM and a 4 hour drive to a Goodyear store. What I found however, is a "franchised" store told me the tire was bad but they couldn't do anything about it, while a neutral party told me to send the tires into Denver to a Goodyear corporate store for examination. It's not that easy to take tires off my RV and "ship" them to Denver. I am just wondering if I should contact Corporate and if these tires just happened to be some old tires that should have been in the recall but were overlooked? Our charity is small and we do not have the funds as larger nonprofits do, to just replace a few RV tires.

While traveling the summer of 2007, we had an unexpected blow-out which damaged the inside wheel well along with the wiring for the jack system.
We had emergency road service for tire replacement which cost $400, also replaced motor and wiring for jack system at a cost of $529. We are now forced to replace all 6 tires for $3000 to ensure our safety while driving.

Returning back from Arizona on 3/10/07 had one tire blow on right outside in Midland.
Causing minor damage to Motorhome, replaced tired. on 6/26/07
On our way to VA had another blow out on left front in Kentucky almost having a major accident on a 8 lane Hwy almost hitting the concrete retainer wall. Causing major damage to wiring and body of Motorhome. Then on 7/8/07 on our way back home another blow out on left inside rear causing more wiring and body damage. Back on the road 7/9/07 after being on the road one and a half hours another blow out on the right inside rear causing more wiring,
body damage and air bag problems.
Repair, tow and road service and tires and body damage totaling about $15,000. This ordeal could of been avoided if Goodyear would have recalled the defective tires. The customer should not have to pay for the manufacturers mistakes.
