Re: Tires again
I have enjoyed reading this thread. I recently had a blowout on the steer axle of my 36 foot Holladay Rambler running 2 1/2 year old Good Year G670s. It was a 70 degree day on a nice Highway at 65 mph. I was able to pull rite off to the shoulder so the tire stayed together. Visual inspection of the tire revealed that the sidewall had blown out in about a 2 by 2 section. I shared this with yall for a couple of reasons. 1. As much of a piece of mind new tires give you. You can still have tire failure. These G670s that I am running still have the excess mold rubber between the grooves. Somewhere around 3 or 4 thousand miles. 2. When I am paying over 400 dollars for a single tire I want one the manufacture is going to stand behind. And thus far my strongly worded letter to Goodyear has gotten me no where! 3. I think a good rule of thumb is to go with what has worked for you in the past. I have had several sets of Hankooks on my cars and have been very happy with them. So that's what will be going on the RV Unless Goodyear decides they are tired of loosing market share to companies who are willing to stand behind there product.427Views0likes0Comments
