So often generalizations about "X" products are express based on an individuals experience. General Ameritrack tires came new on my Dodge Ram 3500. I was amazed to get 70,000 plus miles with absolutely no problems with any of them. I replaced them with another set of the same tires and now have just over 50,000 miles on them, again with no problems with any of them. My dealer states it is one of his best truck tires and has proven to be worry free except in a few cases that were owner related (under/over inflated, not rotating tires, different terrains, etc). Point being, just because you did not have good luck with General Ameritrack tires does not mean they are all bad, just as the person who has bad luck with Michelin, Cooper, HanKook, etc. I like dodge trucks and have had excellent service from Dodge. My neighbor likes Ford and thinks Dodge is junk. Opinions are just that, opinions. Without proof that a massive amount of a certain products fails prematurely, is not a good reason to bash that particular product. Good luck with your next tires.
I understand your point. But my experience is probably a bit different than most. I have never had a problem with GY on my RV's or Michelins, GY, Uniroyal and BFG on cars and trucks. They all have given excellent mileage and not one problem.. I have driven about 1.2 million miles and I know how to properly inflate tires based on load. These tires just plain wore out way too fast. Very soft tread compound I would guess.
At the 23K mark I will report back on how the Michelins are doing.
