Noticed road noise that increased with mileage. Then slight vibration over time. Had tire rotations by oil changers and dealership. They noticed nothing about tires. When condition got more noticeable, I went to 2 tire shops. They first told me that I needed to go to a Goodyear shop because I have tire separation. The second was a Goodyear store that told me that I had tread separation and twisted belts which were manufactured during the strike at Goodyear and made by office personnel. Since this was clearly a defective tire, in my eyes, I felt that Goodyear should be responsible for the expense of new tires. The Goodyear shop stated that they will submit this as road noise and get a minimum L refund back to help offset the cost of new tires that I must buy at the tune of $700. Of course we didn't want to put the same tire back on the truck. Also these tires had 26,300 miles on them. I have done nothing except check pricing at other tire places to see if I am getting any discount at all. Totally frustrated I felt that Goodyear should pay for these tires to be replaced. Also they of course will charge all their other charges, balance, tire disposals, tire charges, balance. Even though clearly this is a Goodyear fiasco. I was certain that this was happening all over the country, especially since the Goodyear shop knew all about this defect.
