RV'ers with No Goodyear G670 Problems

[Don_Don]

Tell us how pleased you are with your G670 on your Class A.
On my Second set, no problems

[jassrnj]

After reading all the reviews, I am replacing my GY in the spring before I take my first trip. The $$$ I spend for new tires could be less expensive then the damage from one blowout. Plus there is the safety factor which is my primary concern.

Second set of G670's. No problems other than age.

The GY G670 product quality issue is like all other product reviews, there are success stories & horror stories. However, there is certainly enough undisputed evidence that a product problem exists, tire failure is real & GY refuses to properly investigate as to the reasons why!! Historically most manufacturers will not admit to any manufacturing or quality problems, for fear of liability issues. I believe each of us has to evaluate the available information & decide the best course of action for our personal situation. I believe there is enough evidence of the G670 tire failure to warrant changing out my 6 year old G670 tires with another brand of tire. Safety first! IMHO

Since this thread is degenerating into another thread on the perils of G6670s...

How many RVs are there? How many have G670s? How many have experienced failures?

We do not have a scientific sample here. We have a number of people that have had failures AND are members of this forum AND have reported the failure to us.

None of the failures s fr reported have accurate pre-failure reporting as to possible damage, temperature, pressure or load.'

Just sayin

same here and if we don't sell/trade in our now 13-yr old MH in the next year or two we'll be headed towards our 3rd set.

Because, after 30,000 posts, this would be statistically significant....

You ask many over the road truckdrivers out there and most of them will agree with sprintmod1. They want Michelins on the steer axle.

Sorry, I was being a bit sarcastic. Saying my tires are fine is a bit insignificant unless backed by tens of thousands of similar statements. Statements about failures are more significant and interesting......I'll shut up now....

No, I'm just saying that this board is a very small percentage of RV people. There are thousands of happy people out here with these tires. Do you truly believe if it was so bad there would not be a recall, or better yet why do some have problems and some don't ? If they were junk as some think we would all have problems. Lots of unanswered questions and most will be owners fault, ran over something, slow leaks, mis aligned, under inflated .

No I didn't have no problem since I had G670s. 🙂

Goodyear G670's on the rear with 32,000 miles in 2 years with no problems.

Michelin's on the front with about 36,000 miles on them in 2 1/2 years with no problems.

I will not put Goodyears on the front of any large vehicle that I own.

I blew a front tire doing 65 towing my toad. Blew out on the inside. One week later blew out drivers side inside rear also on sidewall. 18,000 miles on coach and tires were 5 years old with no cracks anywhere. Had tires inspected by a Goodyear rep and he could find nothing wrong .Replaced them with 6 new G670's. Hoping for the best.

With approx 26,000 miles on mine, I have experienced NO PROBLEMS and would have re-tired in 2013 with the same EXCEPT the present tires I am running were approx $150 LESS EACH than the present cost of $641 PLUS $40 FET each. Ridiculous to say the least.

[TN_Tarheel]

Eight years and 40,000 miles with no tire faults. There less expensive tires out there just as good so price would be my determing factor when I replace.

My Holiday Rambler came with G670's. At 7000 miles the front showed signs of rivering. Called Goodyear and they said they didn't know anything about rivering (I guess they don't read this forum), but said to rotate to the rear and get an alignment. I did all of this and now at 43000 mi. the front and the outside rears rivered so bad that it wore thru the outside tire rib that the steering wheel started to shimmy. Called Goodyear again and they promised to have the district rep. come and look at them, which they never did. Replaced them with Michelin XZA3+ and am very pleased after 6 months. Would not have G670's again, not saying they don't make good car tires but their customer service and standing behind their product is poor. If you have any doubts about this just do a search on this forum and IRV2 as well.
