I had four 2 year old Goodyear integrity tires on my Toyota Corolla 09. They have never had what has felt like proper tread/traction in rain let alone snow. I ended up hydroplaining and hit a tree, and now my caris a potential total. They have only normal wear and tear when my cra had a 15K mile checkup, but they have not held in the rain before and I have fishtailed while going straight on all sorts of wet pavement, and even didn't feel like they held so well on dry roads. Now I have a ruined car from a rainy day while driving forward, trying to steer away from excess water forming, but I was far from in full water, only the two right side tires, when I tried to move I immediately began to hydroplane and crashed. I have never been more scared and horrified. …
Tl contact owns a 2007 Toyota Corolla which was purchased brand new. The vehicle has Goodyear integrity tires, 195/65/r15, which were the original tires. She stated that whenever she would travel on wet road conditions the vehicle would slide and the brakes would not respond. On one occasion, while exiting a highway ramp at speeds of less than 15 MPH during inclement weather, the vehicle began to slide around the exit ramp. She attempted to control the vehicle, to no avail. She then proceeded to do a complete 360 degree turn and crashed into a concrete wall. There were no injuries. There was moderate damage on the front-end of the vehicle and she was able to drive the vehicle from the scene to the dealer. She was awaiting a damage estimate from the dealer. No repairs were made to date. The failure and current mileages were under 23,000. Updated 4/7/2010 updated 06/01/10

Driver side front wheel bearing has been replaced every year. The problem started in 2015. They will not even last full year. Now as of current 5/27/2020 today had to replace the driver side wheel bearing again. This ridiculous. Has cost lots of money. Maybe somebody should look into this issue. Starts making a grinding noise at 35mph and continues to get louder longer you drive it. But it does not occur when you are stopped.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated she had the hubcaps replaced around 10 times.

Flat tire. Vehicle came with Toyota aluminum or non-steel rims. Supplied, lug nut wrench does not fit lug nuts. Could not install spare tire. This could be a problem in a blowout or if the nail came out of the tire, especially in no cell phone areas(no bars). Got a 22mm socket but it is loose, 21mm does not fit.
On a rainy October 28, 2012 Sunday, I was traveling on rte. 73, in moorsetown, nj and I attempted to get off 73 and go down the rte. 295 n ramp. As I went down the ramp, I put on my brakes to slow down and all of a sudden it felt like my car was flying. The brakes locked up, the car spun around and crashed into the curb so hard on the drivers side, that it totaled the back and front rims of my tires. Then once I thanked god for not letting there be any cars around me and letting me be alright, then I attempted to move the car. I backed the car up a little bit then pressed down on brake to change gear into drive and turned steering wheel away from curb, and my car flew to the other side of the ramp and crashed into the curb on the passengers side of which damaged the front rim on that side and through all of this the air bag never ejected. …
I drive a 2007 Toyota Corolla and purchased my tires from America's tire (discount tire) in 2009. Strangely, there are three different dot numbers for these four tires (two of the four have the same number). The numbers are as follows: cc9n 81p4509, 81p3109, and 81p2809. These yokohama avid touring tires are developing discoloration and concentric cracking around the outer and inner side walls. The cracking appears to be similar to dry rot. This seems to have occurred at 45,000 miles of wear. These tires are rated to last 65,000 miles. This premature failure is both disappointing and dangerous. The cracks are deep and I fear tread separation or blowout. I will be getting these tires replaced to avoid any possible injuries or accidents. I have rotated my tires frequently and the tread has otherwise worn evenly with only minimal tread wear. …
My daughter was driving from houston to austin on us 290. Just west of paige, tx. She experienced some vibration that she attributed to construction but before she could slow down she experienced a sudden blowout of the front left tire while driving approximately 70 MPH. The temperature was in the low 70's and the road was dry. Tires were last pressure checked two weeks ago and all filled to 30 psi as they had deflated to 25 to 27 psi since the last check. Extensive damage was done to the fender and wheel well liner and additional damage was done to th front bumper, and hood. The side air dam was completely torn off.
