Goodyear tires - BAD

[RWW]

Although this question of tire pressure was not directed to me, I'd comment that Goodyear never even inquired about pressure when I claimed damages. They inspected the tire(s) at the dealer, in particular looking for road hazard damage and the sent it to Akron for an inspection.

In the first and second instance they paid for the replacement tire and the damage to the coach caused by the tred seperation. The third instance resulted in our argument over giving me my money back. They offered to replace all the remaining tires, but with the same Goodyear model. They would never admit fault nor articulate a reason for the failures. Had they told me it was a bad batch or some reasonable explanation as to why the first were defective and the replacements should be okay, I may have agreed, but in the would not and I went to Michelin. Not cheap, but I felt a whole lot safer.

During all this they never questioned air pressure.

You never said what the pressures were in the tires. Without that information, we can't tell anything about your experience.

We did not feel safe running on them so replaced them with Michelin. (an expensive lesson, needless to say!)
