Agree with Bob. One of the things I have learned from my years on the planet is to use the word "never" sparingly. I have had to eat crow more than once.

I use the word soaringly. When it comes to anything/anyone I do not trust like with GY it fits. Continuing to sell a product known to cause injuries and deaths makes them as trustworthy as a pet rattlesnake.

Not useful to some, or they just don't want to hear it, but if unaware of some of the problems Goodyear has had its a very useful discussion.

not so sure if bad tires. or other.
how many millions of these tires are on the rd now?
at what rate this or any line or brand of tire fail. not just good year tires.
and 99% of the tires on American hwy's are manf in communist china. think over reaching government controls, and that is why not mant tires (or much of anything) is manf in the U,S, of A.

GY knew of accidents, injuries, and deaths caused by this MH tire yet hid the fact. You are aware the RV tire with the best reputation of all is made in China, right? Check Sailun tires.

I always run michelins on every vehicle I have owned for the last 50 years. No better tire on the planet in mho. The do not make a tire for rv's Why? because rv's are a pain in the a@@. People do not check tire pressure etc etc etc. Michelin does not need the aggrevation. Salins are the way to go.

I agree, I have a 39' 3402RL. I have had 2 major blowouts with Marithon tires. Now 39' and up fifth wheels are coming with 14 ply tires. Goodyear should have been sued big time for all those crappy marithon tires that they installed from from Keystone!!

good year is too big to sue. a rv company can not afford the team of lawyers.
gy would keep it out of court for decades. and counter sue ( and win) if bad was said about them.

and then forget discount/ bulk pricing. from ANY tire supplyer.
as they would not want to be sued, or have bad press about them.

Individuals sued GY. GY made huge settlements under agreements they records sealed so no one, not even the govt, would know.

Hi

100,000 miles on 2 sets of G614 and no problems still running both sets on the Montana and an equipment trailer.

When I first contacted GY about the Marathon the dealer read me a litter from GY to the RV manufacturer including Keystone stating that they were not designed for the application.

So who’s fault is it that they are still being put on RV's?

The only GY tire I've had on an RV were US made Marathons that aged out in 2010 and were on an '06 Titanium. Then they started making that tire in China and the troubles began. I put General LTs on the Titanium and they were never a problem in 5 years. The current HC was supplied with 'China Bombs' so instead of looking further, installed the General LTs again. Now at 3.5 years, they still look just fine a about 18,000 miles with virtually no tread wear, no cracks or bubbles. Obviously, these tires cannot be used on any 5er over approximately 12,000 pounds due their capacity rating but have been great for our use.



GY tires on my different pickups never lasted well, especially with many heat cycles making them extremely hard and dang near dangerous in wet or snow conditions, even to the point of wildly spinning under light acceleration on a white road center line. Then there was the fact they were worn to almost baldies at ~35,000 miles



I do like the Michelin Defenders currently. on this truck

sameo sameo

Given the number of people bad mouthing the Goodyear's you`d think it was a thread about the Andersen Ultimate hitch. Doesn't matter what you/we think they`re to big to fail.

I just have to add another thing to this thread. This thread seems to be devolped on half truths. and not accurate information.


first off the GY tire that there seems to be an issue about is the MOTOR HOME tire a G159.

secondly, it is just an ALLEGATION at this point.



And lastly, the number of deaths is not 95, allegation is stating both injured and deaths. (over 20 years....not a few years)


This is how rumors get us all confused. this allegation relates ONLY to the G159.


So I guess I want to say, don't take everything you read in this forum as fact.

We are on our 2nd set of G614's. We have not had a problem with any tire we ran on any of our RV's.Cooper, General, GY. WE did ditch the OEM missions on our 06 3400 before they could disintegrate. TPMS, proper inflation, proper speed, proper maint quality tire.
