ARE GOODYEAR TIRES JUNK? (REAL FACTS)

[@NOLATechy]

I had a pair of Goodyear Assurance All Season tires on my 2010 Honda Accord and got over 70,000 miles with great wear and reliability. I just replaced them with four new Goodyear Assurance All Season tires and I can definitely tell they must have updated their technology because the ride is smoother/softer, the handling is better and there is a lot less tire noise.

[@sugarwalker89]

[@Native722]

They are expensive, but if you catch them on sale than they are good.

[@jdigitalseven7]

Last time I bought a set of 4 Eagle Sport tires in 2015. After 48k miles they were still in good condition with no cracks anywhere. (I traded that car in, in February). Thats through Indiana winters too. As long as you rotate them every 6-8k miles they last. Never had an ounce of trouble with Goodyear tires. Michelin on the other hand....

[@davidalonzojr8617]

I've always averaged around 60,000 miles on the SR-As from Goodyear on my RAM. One set lasted almost 70,000 miles. I've had great experiences with them.

Why would you compare a snow/ice tire to a basic highway tire?

[@remarkable224]

🤨

[@pkranz937]

I've run Goodyear for 33 years. Never a problem. The problem with this kind of slime job - different sizes of the same time may have minor construction differences. If you want real test results outside of this kind of unsubstantiated opinion, the Michigan State Police tests tires, including aftermarket, fairly often. Time after time, it's the Goodyear that comes through largely unscathed. Comparing different tire types and sizes, as is done here, is a waste of time.

[@TruthTeller20242]

[@entitykeeper8869]

I have a set of Goodyear Fuel Max. They work quite well in the Summer & rainy months. The Winter months are ridiculous. I’ve never owned an All Season tire that couldn’t grab traction in light snow before. The Fuel Max should not be marketed as an all Season tire. Amir does speak the truth about these tires dry rotting. At just two years old I have dry rot cracking on the sidewalls & tread. There are better tires out there. Two Thumbs Up to Amir!

[@JimmyG3237]

Just purchased and had 4 GENERAL GMAX AS-05 installed today on my 2012 Impala LTZ. As far as handling goes on dry roads, feels good! Can't wait to see how they handle in wet conditions. I previously had the Goodyear Eagle Sport tires, they lasted 5 years... Could have gone longer with fair amount of tread left but the side walls were dry cracking and I had taken two of the tires several times for slow leaks to be cleaned and re-sealed on the rims...still leaked slowly. Recently the tire tech said he wouldn't even try as the cracking was too much... so I did some research and came across the General's and the reviews here on this KZbin channel, hopefully these tires will hold up well. Thank you.

[@Lovesausage269]

I had a set because I got a flat went to buy a new tire and while they had one in stock, I had a nail or screw in the other 3, so I ended up buying 4 generals, they were really good tires, I think I put about 30k on them before I traded it in. I usually buy continental tires because I’ve never had noise issues with them.

[@3819144]

Just to be fair, I have the same issue with my Michelin tire too, all kinds of weather crack along the side wall and the tire tread area. Not just Good years, but the whole industry

I have a set of Goodyear Eagle RS-A's on my Honda Accord - they were on it when I bought it. For a tire with a tread wear rating of 260 I'm amazed at how they wear, they have 40,000 KM on them and have 75% tread left.

[@Yesssssir29]

Exactly. I work at a Goodyear Network. And people don’t realize that Lil things like drenching your tires in tire shine. Actually wears out the rubber. People will bad mouth anything but won’t blame themselves

[@Jussstusssreid]

@@Yesssssir29 Then it's subjective Poor alignment, pressure imbalances, tire shine, not rotating tires frequently, driving habits, poor drivetrain, bad suspension all can wear tires faster. People expect to slap tires on and that's that. If you don't take car of your car your tires going bad is an result.

[@Jussstusssreid]

@@Yesssssir29 That's why it's always hard to measure these things. Environmental, road conditions and so much more factors play in tire life

I had that exact tire blow out on me with only 5,300 miles on my 2022 ram 1500 4x4. I put in a claim with goodyear and they denied my claim and said i had a something sharp damage the tire leading to a loss of pressure and that was what caused my blow out. Now i didn't hit or run over anything sharp and my truck has the tire pressure monitoring system and the 7" tft display and i had the system being displayed at the time and the tire pressure was at 45psi at the time of the blow out i was traveling at 45mph at the time on cruise control.

My Goodyear reliant tires that I buy from Walmart are worn out already within less than a year. It’s crazy I almost need to replace tires once a year. I think I’m switching to Michelin.

[@professoreggplant9985]

I do find it interesting that people will complain about faster or uneven wear when they didn't bother to notice the change in wear rating from the old to new tire or uneven wear from maybe uneven traction for types of roadways, not rotating or adjusting tire alignment, changes in road conditions from driving different common locations or even changes in driving style eg faster turning vs conservative driving of you or one you may share the vehicle with.. Countless factors that nobody talks about. They just think that their perception is some valid scientific experiment worthy of basing their purchasing choices from..

[@Lovesausage269]

So you’re trying to tell me that the 35k mile tires aren’t going to last as long as the 70k mile tires? I blame the tire manufacturers for the fact that people walk in and say “I need tires” and they sell them whatever is in stock or most expensive.

I put the Goodyear Assurance Weatherready on my 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SEL and I was so disappointed and wow were they ever expensive! I thought I liked them at first and hey they were goodyear and expensive so I thought they would be good. Well the ride quality was so rough and tire noise loud. Also at speed they weren’t real smooth. Well ai had them taken off and got the Cooper Evolution Tour and what a difference. Half the cost, same tread Wear warranty, extremely smooth and quiet ride and performed great in the 6 inches of snow yesterday. So I must say im not impressed with Goodyear I will stick with Cooper like in the post. Goodyear is making a killing on what they charge for their tires over the competition and the assurance weatherready was just rough around the edges, seemed underdeveloped and unrefined. So glad to have a nice quiet set f tires in the Cooper Evolution Tour.

[@jeremypilot1015]

No Goodyear tires are not junk. They are however a slightly softer compund than some tires. But the traction and control you gain from using these vs. a cheaper tire, is quite noticable. If you want the longest lasting tires, I would go with Michelin. Best bang for your buck I would pick Mastercraft made by Cooper.

[@cbijames7]

OK so question I watch your video. So it was 2 years ago. Do u think Goodyear assurance comfort tred r good tires. I drive 20,000 miles a year on my honda accord. And I want a quiet tire.

Maybe look into the Kumho Crugen HT51. They are relatively cheap in most sizes and have great consumer reviews across the board. Although they are all season tires, they are also rated for severe snow service.

As a past employee of Goodyear, if the tire was an OEM tire, it was an OK tire. Less than 60% of the tires in my plant could make the OEM specifications. But, we sold the rest somewhere else. Were they any good? Not for my Money. The Greedyear brand does not guarantee good tires.

To answer your basic question... For me YES. My experience with every Goodyear Tire has been poor. My current OEM Goodyear LS2's with 38,000 miles is getting replaced asap - road noise is unbearable. Previous Goodyear's on other cars were low service life, poor wet handling and noise. Conti's were good but low service life, same as Firestone (which sidewalls felt soft). Michelin's are good but pricey; Bridgestones suck worse than Goodyear for my experience. This week I put on General ALTIMAX RT43's to replace the LS's.

They did last longer than the tread warranty also. I am on my 3rd rotation on the General Grabber STX's on my 06 Trailblazer and no balance issue!! I will say that you need to not hit those chunks of ice that can fall off semi-trailers on the e-way. One came off the trailer next to me and I could not avoid hitting it.

I know I’m crazy but I just paid $300 for 4 Goodyear Eagle GT 215/65R15 tires (Original that were removed from a Brand new 1987 Buick Grand National because the owner wanted fatter tires when he bought the car. But he was smart and kept them wrapped up and inside his actual house, not in his garage or basement. And seller says they don’t have any signs of ever being used other then driven from the dealer to a tire store. But I agree with you on the tread patterns. Very outdated). Now before y’all call me a fool. Back in February of 1987 when I was still a teenager I also purchased a very rare WE4 limited edition 87 Buick Grand National (its actually called a Turbo T but it’s completely blacked out and it was a faster and lighter version of a Grand National) it was only made in 87 and they only made 1,547 WE4s V/s over 20 thousand Grand Nationals that year. Despite being a very wild teenager I actually managed to take meticulous care of this car to this day it only has 59k and still running strong, looks great, all my numbers match. As it sits right now I could easily get 3 times what I paid for it. Because it’s such a well known classic and I still have every single paper and document that I ever got. Every service invoice from the dealer, the window sticker, bill of sale, the thank you letter that Buick sent to all it’s buyers, pre delivery inspection, you get the idea. I made one little mistake with my car. When I first changed my tires a few years after I purchased the car. I remember I felt the same feeling of excitement that in feeling right now the night before I went to replace my first set of tires with some AWESOME!!!! BF Goodrich COMP T/A tires and I let the tire shop dispose of my original Goodyear Eagle GT tires 😖. And I’ve regretted that for a long time. Every time I enter into a car show the only thing that really bothers me is that I don’t have the original tires on there. And every couple of days I would look on eBay of turbo Buick forums for someone selling a nice well preserved set born on dated no later then January of 1987. The only set I found on there is still up there, it’s been up there, and it’s gunna stay up there because that seller wants $1200 shipped for a preserved set that also came off of an 87 Grand National. But I don’t want them that bad lol. Tonight I just caught a break and found the 4 original Eagle GTs that I mentioned above in brand new condition (seller sent me about 40 pics) and he accepted my offer of $300 shipped across the country. I’m so excited right now I can’t even sleep. Obviously I haven’t gotten them yet but if They are indeed what he says and what the pics he sent me look like then I’m buying 4 used regular Grand National chrome/black steel rims with some new driving tires on there maybe even 245/60s if they can fit I will drive on the 245s and have these original Eagle GTs mounted to my original stock rims, keep them inside my home wrapped up in a closet and only mount them to my car when I actually get to wherever I’m displaying my car at, whether it be modeling it for a sponsor, or at a car show, or the annual Grand Nationals big car convention. And my car will officially be like a time Capsule from 1987. I’m so sorry for my long rambling story. I’m so excited about this that I can’t even fall asleep. I started looking around KZbin to see if there were any cool videos or old commercials for the old Eagle gts and I found your video which was very entertaining and knowledgeable. I just have one more thing to say “God is Great”!!!! Ps I have a question for the op. What tires you recommend for regular driving in that car (if you’re not sure the car I’m taking about please search for Buick WE4 to get an idea of what type of tires would look great on there. They have to be 15” diameter and unfortunately can’t be low profile because of the height of the car. Have a blessed day everyone!!!!!

[@HILLYARDSRIMLIONS]

They just came out but are a really nice tire sold a ton, look like Bridgestone, also Kelly made by Goodyear for value u can't go.wrong

If the tread pattern works, why change it? If it's not broken, don't fix it.

Whats your opinion on goodyear RSA tire 2018 ?

[@juliogonzo2718]

I had a couple cars with them, they gripped great dry but not very good in the wet. Assuming the performance car version not the wranglers

[@racheldelacruz1180]

What about Motomaster tires from Canadian Tire? I hear they're made by Goodyear.

[@HILLYARDSRIMLIONS]

I don't think they are

[@terrywilliams759]

Made by Michelin I have picked up at the warehouse

[@toyota420xp]

I hate Goodyear’s worst tires ever
