NEW YORK - Goodyear recalled six versions of its Wrangler Silent Armor tires over concerns the tread could separate from the tire and cause accidents. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. said yesterday the separation could occur under what it called severe usage conditions. Goodyear said the separated tread could strike the car and damage it or result in tire failure. The recall affects about 40,000 tires made in 2009, including 27,000 in service.
