I OWN A 2006 CHEVROLET IMPALA WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2 TIRES AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT (M-S P225/55R17 95T, DOT M643 BHDR 3905). I WAS ADVISED THAT ALL TIRES ON THE VEHICLE HAD A DEFECT WHICH CAUSED THE TREAD TO SEPARATE FROM THE TIRE IN THE SAME SPOT. THE TIRES STILL HAD FROM 7/32 TO 9/32 TREAD REMAINING. HAVING TAKEN OFF ONE TIRE TO INSPECT IT PROPERLY, THE DEFECT WAS FOUND TO BE SO BAD THAT THE DEALER WOULD NOT REMOUNT THE TIRE ON TO THE VEHICLE UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW. AT THE DIRECTION OF GOODYEAR, THE DEFECTIVE TIRES WERE THEN TAKEN TO BE INSPECTED BY A GOODYEAR DEALER AND THE DEFECT WAS AGAIN CONFIRMED. THE IDENTIFIED DEFECT COULD CAUSE FAILURE OF A TIRE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT ADVANCE WARNING. AS A RESULT ALL TIRES OF THIS MANUFACTURING LOT SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. *TR
