problems with Goodyear dually tires

My buddy (kansascummins on here) was doing his front diff when he looked over and noticed that that the inside of the tire carcass on his OEM Goodyear's on his 03 dually was seperating at the bead. He ended up pulling all 6 and found them all doing this to varying degrees, he could two fingers up between the bead and the tire carcass.

He called his dad who ordered the same truck at the same time (only one VIN number off, kind of cool) and they pulled his wheels. One of them had a seperation approximately one half way around the entire tire.

12 tires later they are talking with Goodyear about this situation.

However if you have a dually with the factory Goodyear rubber you might want to take a look at the inside edge of the tire at the bead.
