THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE SPYDER EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR ASSURANCE TRIPLETRED TIRES, SIZE P215/55R16. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO DRIVE OVER A CURB. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE TIRE AND FOUND THAT THE TIRE TREAD WAS SEPARATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE TIRE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.
TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH. AFTER INSPECTING THE TIRE WHEN RETURNING HOME TO DETERMINE ROOT CAUSE OF THE FAILURE THE VALVE STEM WAS FOUND TO BE CRACKED ALL THE WAY THROUGH ONLY ATTACHED BY A SMALL AMOUNT OF RUBBER. INSPECTED OTHER VALVE STEMS AND ALL WERE FOUND TO BE CRACKED ALMOST ALL THE WAY THROUGH. TIRES WERE RECENTLY REPLACED IN THE SUMMER OF 2008.
THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO XC70 EQUIPPED WITH GOOD YEAR ASSURANCE TRIPLETRED TIRES, SIZE 215/65/R16. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE SUDDENLY EXPLODED. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND THEN COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A TIRE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED HER THAT THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE AND THAT THE IRE POSSIBLY WAS NOT PROPERLY INFLATED, CAUSING THE FAILURE. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 13,000.
DEAR OFFICER, I HAVE PURCHASED 2 SETS OF FOUR TIRES (ASSURANCE TRIPLETRED, 215/70R15) IN SUMMER 2010 AND 2011 (HYUNDAI XG AND KIA SEDONA). I FOUND THAT ONLY ONE OF TIRES SHOWS A KIND OF CRACKS A LOT ON THE SIDE (I HAVE THE PICTURE) RELATIVELY. I CHECKED THE DATE OF MANUFACTURING ON THE TIRE AND FOUND 'BLANK'. THREE OF FOUR SHOW THE YEAR AND WEEK (0923...). I ALSO FOUND THAT ONE OF FOUR TIRES IN MY ANOTHER CAR HAS NO DATE EITHER. IT'S ODD AND SUSPICIOUS TO ME. I HAVE GOT THEM ALL FROM A GOODYEAR STORE. I HAVE SOME PICTURES TO SHOW THE EVIDENCE. I AM SO SCARED WHEN I REALIZED THAT I HAVE DRIVEN MY CARS ON ILLEGALLY UPDATED OR SOLD TIRES. [XXX] P.S. I ALREADY CONTACTED GOODYEAR AND GOT FEEDBACK FROM MY CONTACT PERSON AT GOODYEAR, SAYING THAT IT'S ODD BUT CAN BE HAPPENED.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Goodyear assurance TripleTred: what the numbers tell you
Manufacturer treadwear data for the Assurance TripleTred is not publicly listed. This is common for OEM-only or track-day tires that don't carry a US treadwear warranty. No mileage warranty is published for this tire, which is typical for performance summer and track-day rubber where the manufacturer doesn't make wear-life claims.
Cabin noise data for this tire is not published by the manufacturer. As a general tire built for the passenger segment, the Assurance TripleTred is positioned against direct rivals within the same category. Comparing it to a tire in a different category (e.g. summer vs all-season) makes the spec sheet misleading because the design targets are not the same.
The Goodyear Assurance TripleTred has been part of Goodyear's catalog since its introduction, and remains a current-production model.
