I HAVE GOODYEAR FORTERA HL TIRES ON MY ACADIA AND STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEM JUST AT 1 MONTH AFTER I LEASED MY CAR. THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS THAT I ENDED UP WITH A MAJOR FLAT TIRE & IT WAS JUST A BIG HOLE IN THE LARGE TREAD. SINCE THEN THE TIRES NEVER HOLD INFLATION...ALL OF THEM. I HYDROPLANE WHEN TURNING ON ROADS THAT ARE ONLY SLIGHTLY WET AND THE ENTIRE CAR SLIDES SIDEWAYS. I NOW NEED TO REPLACE THESE TIRES AT JUST 30,000 MILES WHEN THE SUPPOSED MILEAGE WARRANTY IS 60K. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT TIRE BUT THE PRODUCTION RECALL ENDED AT JUST TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO WHEN MINE WERE PRODUCED. HOWEVER, MY TIRES ARE DOING THE SAME EXACT THINGS THAT THE RECALLED TIRES DID AND THESE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AS WELL. THE TREADS HAVE CRACKS, SPLITS AND PITS IN THEM JUST AS THE RECALLED TIRES AND HAVE ISSUES WITH PSI/INFLATION AS WELL. THEY ARE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ON AND NEED REPLACED ASAP. *TR
