  Goodyear Tire Defects - Defective Goodyear Tires
Goodyear was notified that the agency opened a preliminary investigation today, and company officials did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
Goodyear spokesman Chris Aked said Monday evening that the Load Range E tires have been used as original equipment on large trucks made by Ford Motor Co. and Daimler-Chrysler AG, including the Dodge Ram 4250 and 350 series trucks.
Goodyear began putting an extra layer of nylon in the tires in 1996 after discovering that some of the tires were prone to failure at high speeds and at high temperatures.

 Crowston v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, 521 N.W.2d 401 (N.D. 1994)
Crowston sued Goodyear and Kelsey-Hayes, alleging negligence and strict liability in tort in the design, manufacture, and sale of their component parts of the tire/wheel assembly.1 Crowston alleged that, when the component parts of the tire/wheel assembly were sold, they were defective and unreasonably dangerous and failed to include adequate warnings.
Goodyear became aware of safety hazards associated with the use of the multi-piece "K" rim after the rim was manufactured and before the plaintiff's injury.
The court affirmed the jury's finding that Goodyear breached its post-sale duty to warn, holding that the evidence was such that the jury could have found that post-sale warnings given by Goodyear in that case were inadequate to reach K-rim users.

 Orion Tire Corporation v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Inc.
Goodyear argues that even if the district court erred in failing to consider the statutory question, we should affirm dismissal of the RICO claim because amendment would be futile.
Goodyear argues that the district court lacked diversity jurisdiction over CTHL' s state law claims, and that, in the alternative, the forum non conveniens dismissal was proper.
Goodyear contends that the district court lacked diversity jurisdiction over CTHL' s state law claims against it because as a citizen of a British Dependent Territory ("BDT"), CTHL is not a "citizen or subject of a foreign state" within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. 1332(c)(1).

The Commission terminated the order against Goodyear in accordance with its "sunsetting" policy, under which the Commission presumes, in the context of petitions to reopen and modify existing competition orders, that the public interest requires terminating orders that have been in effect for more than 20 years.
In a separate concurring statement, Commissioner Mary L. cuenaga said that although she concurs in the decision to grant Goodyear's request to set aside the 1971 order, she dissents from the decision to limit setting the order aside as to Goodyear instead of setting aside the order in its entirety.
According to Azcuenaga, the decision to grant the relief to Goodyear and deny it to the other four respondents appears to be inconsistent with recent precedent and with the Commission's announced Sunset Policy where it is presumed "that the public interest requires reopening and setting aside the order in its entirety...

Goodyear used to be the only tire manufacturer involved in NASCAR, Indy Cars, Formula One, NHRA, sprint car racing, off-road and sports car racing, but the realities of world-wide commerce led the company to pull out of Formula One and the Indy Car ranks.

On the other hand, Goodyear said that after two tests at Richmond International Raceway that followed-up the Pontiac Excitement 400 weekend in May, the same tire would be used there Sept. 7 for the Chevrolet Monte Carlo 400.
Dover's one-mile high-banked concrete oval is seen as one of the biggest challenges by the tire manufacturer due to the tire wear created by the concrete surface and the excess tire heat that's generated.
Tire performance was one of the things that was questioned in May but it's been said that two coats of asphalt sealer that were applied before the Pontiac Excitement 400 were the culprit in the slipping and sliding conditions.
