Google Goodyear Florida Law Suit and read about the blowouts and people maimed and killed! After reading that, ask yourself if you really want to spend a dime with Goodyear.
Took your advice and it seems that Goodyear isn't the only tire company who has issues with law suits and their issue seems to be directed toward the G159 tires not their whole line.
The G159 tires don't seem to be adequately rated for sustained speeds and age is an ongoing factor in tire failures for all manufacturers. Uninformed consumers who don't know how to determine a tire's age or ignore reasonable efforts to inspect their tires are asking for trouble. That doesn't absolve the manufacturers from a significant share of the blame, but I also don't want to see us go back to steel clad wooden wheels either.
Hopefully there will be a brighter future for tire technology.
