Goodyear Is Good
This is a little positive feedback for a famous, old American company, Goodyear. I bought a new Winnebago 2 months ago and they had installed Goodyear tires on the rig. I checked the tire pressures before the current trip and they were a little low. As it is a new rig I hadn't prepared for the complications of loading air into the tires which are far apart and have dual tires on the back with difficult stem placement.
I went to Walmart and Auto Zone and I couldn't find what I needed to inflate the tires myself. I was stressed. I know with more time I can order the right equipment. My wife suggested trying to have a tire store inflate them. So I searched and there was a Goodyear tire center for commercial users, with large trucks, just 1 mile from our campground in Elm Mott, Texas, a little north of Waco. I called and asked if they could inflate my motorhome tires. She said yes, but she didn't know how much it would cost. She said they charge about $50 to do an 18-wheeler.
I decided I would drive over there and ask for a price. The shop is located on Old Dallas Road, a very good name for a road, in my opinion. When I got there the mechanic said he would do my 6 tires for free. Very nice people. And they had no customers this morning, maybe because the shutdown is/was hurting their business. I gave him $10 and a big thank you. I felt a lot better knowing my tires were inflated correctly. Thank you, Goodyear.
