Nice. I was going to get a new set this month. Got 65K miles off my originals. Now I can definitely eliminate Goodyear from any replacement option.

We need to start giving them lip RIGHT BACK.

Honestly, any time we’re sanctimoniously alienated like this, we should write to them and complain. ALL of us. Yes, one won’t do anything but maybe if we all did.

Cooper. The only other American-made tire.

Michelin for the HD and Toyo for my car. Pirelli on the Mrs Jeep.

I’m sure my brand is banned too but I’ve been more than happy with several varieties of High end Michelin tires (both sport and regular passenger), quiet, sticky, and good longevity.

Goodyear corporate denies the validity of this. Worth a look (sorry for the nonclickable link ... in a big hurry):

I’m doing a Bye-Cott.

Bye, Goodyear!

Our family has used Goodyear tires for at least 30 years.

I’ve been running “Triple-Treads” (now discontinued) on all three of our cars. I had a set on my Honda Element (sold a year ago... still miss it) that lasted 100,000 miles.

When it’s time to replace tires, I’ll look at Cooper and Michelin.

I am finished with Goodyear.

GoodYear will go the way of Gillette. Huge losses in their next fiscal year, but they will blame it on something else.

People who hold traditional American values need to stop doing business with companies that hate us. Starbucks, Nike, Old Navy, now Goodyear. They need to feel the pain folks.

Yesterday, Goodyear became the focus of a conversation that created some misconceptions about our policies and our company. Goodyear has always wholeheartedly supported both equality and law enforcement and will continue to do so. pic.twitter.com/oO6jUg2rTR— Goodyear (@goodyear) August 19, 2020

More and more, big businesses are showing their contempt for this country even though they have benefited greatly. Same with the entitled, pampered pro athletes.

Who are the Goodyear Owners/Directors? I would like to know who the CEO is that endorses this policy. Anybody know?

I was going to buy some Goodyear Duratracs for my truck. Looks like I will be buying BF Goodrich AT KO2.

Based on research, I didn’t buy Good-for-a-year tires, but instead bought Goodrich M/S tires for my Jeep last year. It figures that once I was prepared for bad weather we would have a snow/rain drought.

Not just tires. We have a Goodyear Service Center near where we live that we have been using exclusively for many years. No more. So long in-fact all the people who work there know me and the wife on sight.
I called them and told them that due to their companies stated policy we will no longer be a customer for any of our three vehicles.

I can tell you with certainty that my car was built in Stuttgart. The reason I know this is, when I went to purchase the new vehicle in 2014, the only C-Class cars they had on the lot were C-300s, which are 6-cylinde3r all wheel drives, and C-250s which have 4-cylinder turbo engines.

Since I wanted a 6-cylinder rear-wheel drive vehicle, I had to special order a C-350, and I had to wait 2 months to get it. And the invoice clearly stated the car was built in Stuttgart Germany.

I’m running Generals on my Honda CR-V. They are good tires for a really good price. I got sick of Michelins wearing out early.

On my gray market Mercedes sports sedan I ran high performance Pirelli’s on the front and Yokahamas on the back. They give you a little tougher ride but they take care of you in a bad situation.

Why should any police car be wearing them?
