TIRED OF TIRES

Many people only think brand, they do not realize many if not all tire companies offer a low quality or low price line that is nothing in quality like the line that made them famous.

TIRED OF TIRES

The Tundra I have came with Firestone and had some of the funniest flats I had in years. Not since Uniroyals on a Ram which also had strange flats. Those two companies are the same now. So guess the tires are the same design and such. Had broken wrench, large nail, changeabel screw driver bit (5 inches long or so) and such. All on paved roads plus others. Was looking to replace the Firestones due to all the flats and happen to tell the dealership I was talking to I did not want any more Firestones. To which he said, boy do they pick up the stranges things and are pierce by them, a hair pick (for alfro hair does) and chicken bone being two he mentioned. SO, it was not me, rather the tires. He thinks it is the thread pattern some how. Both sets were replaced with Michelin and had no more flats.

As to Goodyears, my wife's car has gotten great mileage on Goodyears for her car replacing Michelin. They are Goodyears top of the line for her car. Now the Michelins that came on my Ram, were cheap made tires. Had dealership tell me they could not even buy those tires. I know why. kt
