The goodyear wrangler sr-a tires have all started to dry rot and because of that the vehicle has had 2 flat tires in 3 days. The tires are 2 years old and no where near the 50,000 mile tread life. So 2 times in 3 days we where driving and we have gotten a flat thankfully not a blow out but these tires are junk and need to be recalled.

Rims will collect mud, dirt, snow and become severely out of balance. Living on a gravel/dirt road makes this a re-occurring. Requiring the inside of the rims to be washed out. Never in 54 years of driving have i owned a vehicle with this problem. It makes the vehicle unsafe to drive until the rims is washed out.
