Owner Complaints (5)
Your left front tire came apart completely while towing your Jeep, causing significant damage to the fender, bumper, turn signal, and wiring. The next day, your right rear tire also failed catastrophically, leaving only a thin ring of rubber on the rim. A third tire showed signs of damage as well. You've replaced all the Goodyear tires and reported the failures to both Walmart and Goodyear, but the manufacturer claims normal wear and has refused to cover the damage. The tire replacement and repairs will likely involve purchasing a complete new set of quality tires and having a mechanic inspect and repair the damaged fender, bumper, wiring, and wheel.
