Goodyear tires - BAD

[Pete Masterson]

Interesting ... I have 1 Goodyear G149 on my tag axle -- installed after a blow out* with out any alternative being available. I, too, have noticed that it runs about 20 degrees warmer than the Toyos on all other positions on the coach.

<Snip> I do have 1 Goodyear G149 on my coach, I had to have a tire and it's all that was available at the time. It's on my tag so I'm not to concerned with its performance, least weight per tire on my coach, but it does run hotter than my other tires according to the infrared thermometer, I have not keep any records but it will almost always run 20 to 40 degrees hotter than my other tires.
