TIRED OF TIRES
It's funny that this thread came back up when it did, I just put a set of "Goodyear Assurance, featuring Triple Tred technology™" on a little Volvo I have for my house-keeper to drive.
The snows are on it now, but I noticed that the 'summer' tires I have for it are getting pretty smooth. The local tire shop had a big sale on (buy 3 at the sale price and get the 4th free, plus free install & balance) so I thought I'd get them now.
In the paperwork they gave me is the details on the "Drivers Assurance Program" which is a warranty on the tires, plus roadside protection and the usual feel-good stuff.
The warranty was caught my eye, the tread is guaranteed for 80k miles or 130k kilometers. If the tires don't go that far, and you have done the recommended rotation, etc., they will warranty them.
Now I doubt that they will give me 4 new tires, but they will do better than say "sorry".
Unless you are doing more than 80,000 miles a year the tires should last more than a year, if not, make a warranty claim.
Best of luck.

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

1hillbilly, Kelly was and to my knowledge still owned by goodyear my father worked for Kelly for about 30 years. Their line always paralleled Goodyear. For years when I was a kid all we ever had were Kelly's my dad would pick the Goodyear tire he wanted then get the Kelly version he only paid about 50% (he got a discount)for virtually the same tire. I just last week replaced the original Tires on my wifes 04 Expedition she had 70,000 on them. I was happy with that. I bought Goodyear Wranglers which I always had good luck in the past with. It is very important to get the car aligned with the new tires.
