heavy haul buy new tires for every load, some of their trailers have almost a hundred tires. paying for a tire guy to come out and change tires for days isn't even the most expensive part of the load. transit insurance for those short trips is enormous, thousands for tires is a drop in the bucket when your paying a million for a few days of insurance & all the fuel and salaries involved. The guys moving the equipment around for those giant turbines the liberals are having installed everywhere are very conservative.
Air Force One may or may not have GY tires, but it won't in the future that's for sure. Trump said he will switch the tires off the presidential limo's from Goodyear to someone else. It'll take some time, those tires aren't off the shelf due to being bulletproof.
Yep. I haven't used them for years, since their last set of winter tires turned into 4 sets of winter tires, in two different countries(Canada & US), and 3 different regions(Northern Alberta/South Dakota/Southern Ontario) with all of them having the same issue. That is, as soon as I got above 65mph, the vibration was so bad you thought that you'd thrown a belt.
Can't tell you how many times the tires were pulled, reseated on the winter rims, rebalanced. And them still vibrating like it was going out of style. It sure wasn't the rims, because as soon as I switched to Hankook's there wasn't an issue.
We do not, we just use local places such as pepboys to get our tires, and normally we don't sell them personally but I buy them frequently for cars I purchase or on my personal vehicles and I sure won't be buying Goodyear anymore.
Its why I lol'd when I saw someone on r/politics comment that their next tire purchase will be Goodyear. I just thought, half the people there aren't even driving age let alone voting age, and the other half are shills and deranged unemployed greedy people who wouldn't even own a car.
More like 1/3rd the first, 1/3rd the latter, and 1/3rd are legal adult children still supported by mommy and daddy and dont pay for repairs, let alone tires.
FUCKING idiots. The customer that is knowledgeable about tire brands, speed ratings, tread wear, ECT.. is not a typical leftist who hates police. They are the based silent majority that buys Goodyear because it was a "superior" product. No fucking way am I ever buying them. No fucking way will my brother. No fucking way will my father. Fuck them.
It made me feel like a second-class citizen compared to the great and holy non-Whites. By the way, they would literally celebrate that experience, and would give a reply of something along the lines of, "Good! Now you see how it feels and how Black people have felt for centuries. You're starting to understand."
If you stop to wipe your ass, if you sneeze, if you even blink for a second you miss so much in this country! 🤣 All right here, on the best website I’ve ever been apart of! 🇺🇸 ❤️
You can actually return Goodyear with 30 days (if they're in good condition), but but you can only exchange for different Goodyear tires. That does at least give people the opportunity to get some of their money back if there's a cheaper Goodyear option.
Did you call your Goodyear distributor and ask him if he supports the harrassment and violence that the Black Lives Matter movement has inflicted on America?
To be honest I've never sold Goodyear's at my shop anyways because they are a junk tire. Cooper is always the go to bang for the buck choice with continental and michelin on the higher end. Feels good that I've been slamming them for years as poor quality just to see them commit to putting a knee on the neck of their business......
Generals are a good tire yes, comparable to cooper IMO. There are many great options in tire brands which makes this move by Goodyear incredibly stupid. Unlike big tech and sports they certainly do not dominate market share
I’m bummed out. Two weeks ago, I bought new tires. Wanted American made. Choice was cooper and Goodyear. Goodyear were a little cheaper with the rebate. Haven’t driven the car other than the mile to get it home. Can’t return or exchange. Oh well, looks like it’s Cooper for me from here on out.
In 2013, Cooper Tire and Rubber Company was planned to become a part of Apollo Tyres of India for $2.5 billion. This means Cooper wouldn’t be an all-American tire brand anymore, leaving Goodyear to be the only one. Circumstances made the companies cancel the deal, keeping Cooper one of the two genuinely American brands that have tires made in USA mostly.
You can actually return Goodyear with 30 days, but only exchange for different Goodyear tires. That does at least give people the opportunity to get some of their money back if there's a cheaper Goodyear option.
I worked at a Dodge dealership in the 90s. The new trucks all came with Goodyear tires, and they all seemed to wear out really quickly. Because of that, I've never bought Goodyear tires. I've always bought BF Goodrich or Cooper.
Goodyear Duratrak are popular Jeep tires but I have personally seen 3 Jeeps with shredded up spares because of weak sidewalls. One looked like it was opened with a can opener. I got Mickey Thompson ATZ's and they have been great. Not sure about snow performance though.
Cooper makes Hercules tires, as well. Cancelled a Goodyear order yesterday for tires for the SUV and went with Hercules and will be getting some for the Truck by year's end
I've been in the game for 30 years now. I've only known one liberal auto mechanic.
Something about being good with your hands and being self-sufficient makes one lean right in politics.
Directly seeing the money that you earned with your own blood sweat and tears leave as taxes probably hurts a lot more than when your employer withholds it for you automatically
I kinda wish we made employer withholding illegal so people should see the damage directly
Ive never owned Goodyear tires, too expensive and dont seem to be worth the money (for car tires).
They did make motorcycle tires, but A) I havent seen them in forever and B) I wouldnt own them anyway. Just got a fresh Bridgestone for the front of my bike, made in Japan (would have preferred USA but Ill take Japanese quality)
Also, don’t assume that people saw this. Be sure to share and inform. Many people don’t pay much attention to the daily online events, especially when every day a new thing is at the top of the news.
I made an appointment for later tomorrow to have Goodyear tires on 3 of my vehicles removed and replaced with two other brands. I will not support this blatant political nonsense and this marxist/racist claptrap from corporations
Make tires or whatever your product is and stay the hell out of social and political issues that are not directly related to your industry.
If you want government to stay in their lane, then business damn well better stay in theirs. This pisses me off.
Their blimp was always super annoying too. I once.lived by a stadium, and the tailgate was always overshadowed by the constant REEEEEEEEEEE of the props.
When Gillette got woke, too. Last year, before Covid, they lost $8 BILLION.
Since those commercials, I've now started shaving with regular double-edged razors.
I suppose all of our tires will now be Cooper, from here on out....
I always wish I could participate in these boycotts because I do not buy Goodyear. For my motorcycle it was always Michelin Pilot Powers and for the car Michelin Premier.
I highly recommend them for motorcycle tires though, even everyone in the community praises them for being the best affordable option without sacrificing quality.
What's the ratio of people saying no Goodyear to "I need Goodyear"
Be honest - After you verified the call quality was where it should be...you kept listening to calls for the keks
You listen to calls? You can automate that, much easier. Will tell you which keywords lead to purchases/appointments and stuff over the phone. Lmk if you want to know how, not sure private messaging is a thing in .win yet
Would be interested as well!
I would love to know how for my business!
I’d like to know too!
A lot of truckers, construction vehicles, bikers, auto dealers, etc. that will be making a decision.
Police vehicles too.
There’s a Kentucky major (edit: mayor, not major) that has said their police force won’t be using them. Just saw that on here somewhere.
Fuckin' got em!
MUCH ABLIGED
Bravo Chippah
A very bad year for good year.
Based.
You can just remove the word major and replace it with mayor ..
Never
Especially considering the most popular police tire is the Goodyear Eagle RS-A
I can't even imagine how much trucking companies must spend on tires per year.
Own towing company. It's not a small number.
I'll happily buy Coopers h/t. Boom.
heavy haul buy new tires for every load, some of their trailers have almost a hundred tires. paying for a tire guy to come out and change tires for days isn't even the most expensive part of the load. transit insurance for those short trips is enormous, thousands for tires is a drop in the bucket when your paying a million for a few days of insurance & all the fuel and salaries involved. The guys moving the equipment around for those giant turbines the liberals are having installed everywhere are very conservative.
Fleet operations too. The military buys a lot of tires, as well.
I buy mostly recaps
Haha GY is soooo fcked
Eat shit commies
They still have noosecar!
do they make those huge tires for airplanes?
What kind of magic wand do you have?
Air Force One may or may not have GY tires, but it won't in the future that's for sure. Trump said he will switch the tires off the presidential limo's from Goodyear to someone else. It'll take some time, those tires aren't off the shelf due to being bulletproof.
Yes. They make airplane tires. From small Cessnas up to the huge commercial planes in sure.
I hope they make those tires designed to sit on after ass surgery because the only people who buy them are going to be the butthurt.
Also, leftists don't have money or marketable skills so there's that.
Goodyear tires are only for the left side of your vehicles, not the right side!
I too own an Auto Body shop, goodyear will no longer pass through the doors. Cooper Tires from here on out. Support Small Businesses everyone!
Will do!
Do you have an account with goodyear or do tires come from a distribution center?
Asking the real questions.
I'm asking because telling them directly that you aren't selling their tires would be more satisfying.
Keep in mind that even if it's from a distribution center, if they start pushing deals or stock keeps hanging on, it'll work it's way up the chain.
yep, depletion forecast ain't lookin' good for ya, good year.
Yep. I haven't used them for years, since their last set of winter tires turned into 4 sets of winter tires, in two different countries(Canada & US), and 3 different regions(Northern Alberta/South Dakota/Southern Ontario) with all of them having the same issue.

65 MILLION PEOPLE VOTED FOR DONALD TRUMP.
Most are not riding the bus, they are driving cars and making decisions about which tires to buy every few years.
Its why I lol'd when I saw someone on r/politics comment that their next tire purchase will be Goodyear. I just thought, half the people there aren't even driving age let alone voting age, and the other half are shills and deranged unemployed greedy people who wouldn't even own a car.
More like 1/3rd the first, 1/3rd the latter, and 1/3rd are legal adult children still supported by mommy and daddy and dont pay for repairs, let alone tires.
Wow ok bigot, how bout all the non Americans of reddit too? Or the employees at chinese click and disinformation farms? Educate yourself!
Also, leftists are heavily concentrated in cities, where they're much less likely to have a car.
The best part? There are only two major US tire manufacturers.
With one tweet, Trump has both sides resolving to Buy American.
Most are trash Euro communists that don’t even own vehicles.
FUCKING idiots. The customer that is knowledgeable about tire brands, speed ratings, tread wear, ECT.. is not a typical leftist who hates police. They are the based silent majority that buys Goodyear because it was a "superior" product. No fucking way am I ever buying them. No fucking way will my brother. No fucking way will my father. Fuck them.
I haven't bought Goodyear for decades. They haven't been good for years.
I used to ride on Dunlop - I really liked the tires, they never did me wrong - I'll have to find a replacement.
What did I miss?
Goodyear got woke
Dumbasses
Had a diversity training that said BLM gear was fine but blue lives matter or all lives matter wasn’t.
MAGA gear are apparently hate speech. Imagine that, the fucking president is hate speech now.
Has been since he came out with it.
Did it make you feel diversified?
It made me feel like a second-class citizen compared to the great and holy non-Whites. By the way, they would literally celebrate that experience, and would give a reply of something along the lines of, "Good! Now you see how it feels and how Black people have felt for centuries. You're starting to understand."
Just think, you'll have the privilege of doing their work and paying their unemployment when they quit
NASA also did this exact same thing...
Lmfao this reads like a couple talking over breakfast while reading the paper.
Lol I got that vibe too. Funny what can be assumed with text.
Specifically they said "no political attire, so no MAGA, no Blue Lives Matter, and no All Lives Matter, but BLM and FagFlag apparel is okay".
And those groups are very political
and will now get broke
Stock plummeted 10% after trumps tweet lmao
Muh destroying private company 😂
Only 10%???
It’s only been a day. I’m debating some shorts. Long term it’s going to drop. Ask Proctor and Gamble how that works when you shit on your customers.
https://robinhood.com/stocks/PG
It actually didn't turn out bad for them, they're trading higher than at any point in the last 5 years.
Wow, even with the 6bn loss for Gillette.
Just goes to show how big they are.
If you stop to wipe your ass, if you sneeze, if you even blink for a second you miss so much in this country! 🤣 All right here, on the best website I’ve ever been apart of! 🇺🇸 ❤️
Every damn day something I could NEVER have expected to happen, happens.
Strange times indeed.
Put $1100 worth of Eagle GA's on my Challenger last month.
Oh well, just time to play with the launch control and smoke them to steel cords.
Is that conservative content? DEMONITIZED
Won't make a difference if they have a patreon or similar.
Otherwise, "Oh no! I lost 3 whole cents!"
Great idea. There's a Demon in my future.
Feed em to your Hemi
You can actually return Goodyear with 30 days (if they're in good condition), but but you can only exchange for different Goodyear tires. That does at least give people the opportunity to get some of their money back if there's a cheaper Goodyear option.
Return them and buy the cheapest tire possible and make tire swings for kids.
Swapping out the tires for free that cant be sold as new will cost them money
Exactly!
$1100? Oh man that’s expensive!! It’s been a while since I bought tires.
My mustang had Eagle's on 'em - well, the ones that came from the factor. $600 a tire, fuck that. I got Toyo's on sale.
I miss that car.
Muscle car! Yeah they speed around me all the time! Wish I had one!
Did you call your Goodyear distributor and ask him if he supports the harrassment and violence that the Black Lives Matter movement has inflicted on America?
This is very efficient wording! Will reuse. Support violence and harassment on America!!
I’m doing a 40hr drive relocating for a job that means new tyres before I leave. Lucky this happened sooner then later lol
To be honest I've never sold Goodyear's at my shop anyways because they are a junk tire. Cooper is always the go to bang for the buck choice with continental and michelin on the higher end. Feels good that I've been slamming them for years as poor quality just to see them commit to putting a knee on the neck of their business......
I just got a new-to-me car with Generals. Any good? They say made in USA on them
General Tire is owned by Germany's Continental now. I have a set of General Altimax snow tires that do great and have held up well.
Generals are a good tire yes, comparable to cooper IMO. There are many great options in tire brands which makes this move by Goodyear incredibly stupid. Unlike big tech and sports they certainly do not dominate market share
Tony Stewart was ahead of his time with hating badyear.
They wear like shit
I’m bummed out. Two weeks ago, I bought new tires. Wanted American made. Choice was cooper and Goodyear. Goodyear were a little cheaper with the rebate. Haven’t driven the car other than the mile to get it home. Can’t return or exchange. Oh well, looks like it’s Cooper for me from here on out.
Cooper is American. My future purchases will be Cooper tires.
I just put a set of those on a car. Great tires.
Well, as American as you can get nowadays.

Sigh, I do love my Toyos
You can actually return Goodyear with 30 days, but only exchange for different Goodyear tires. That does at least give people the opportunity to get some of their money back if there's a cheaper Goodyear option.
I read the entire service contract. There has to be a defect.
Defect with the company's wokeness!
Tell them your tires support police orgs and are defective.
...They keep writing MAGA in the asphalt every time i burnout...
Probably depends which tires you have. Here's the 30 day guarantee: https://archive.fo/wip/H2QMz
Just be a Karen. Or maybe the tire shop is based and will just say there was one anyway.
I worked at a Dodge dealership in the 90s. The new trucks all came with Goodyear tires, and they all seemed to wear out really quickly. Because of that, I've never bought Goodyear tires. I've always bought BF Goodrich or Cooper.
Man, my Jeep needs a new set of tires (and a full-size spare), but it looks like I’ll be getting KO2s instead of Wrangler ATs!
Edit: I knew I could rely on you guys to give me good recs without asking, thanks! haha
Dick Cepek makes decent AT's. (Think they're American made... could be wrong). Plus I like to yell at people... "stop lookin' at my Dicks!"
🤣 I’ll have to get Dick’s Burgers more so I can tell people to stop looking at my Dick’s while I have a mouthful of Dick’s hahaha
Kamala is that you?
Dick Cepek is a subsidiary of Cooper Tire.
SST Pros blow KO2s out of the water
Goodyear Duratrak are popular Jeep tires but I have personally seen 3 Jeeps with shredded up spares because of weak sidewalls. One looked like it was opened with a can opener. I got Mickey Thompson ATZ's and they have been great. Not sure about snow performance though.

I kinda wish we made employer withholding illegal so people should see the damage directly
I’m pretty sure I’m not buying a new car or truck that comes with Goodyear tires.
Oops I bet they didn't expect America's mechanics to be conservative. They were betting on all those trans gender mechanics lol!
College kids look down on tradies and think we're stupid and poor like them.
Ironic because they are too stupid to fix their own cars.
Cooper tires ROCK anyway!
Fuck Goodyear.
Make tires and stfu
Damn! Who was the Goodyear employee of the year?! Most impactful financial decision in company history!!
Goodyear, “Fuck you, we’ve still got NASCAR!”
cries
I posted about this in another thread. I own some Cooper STT Pros for my truck. Best tires I have owned.
Those are cool-looking tires for sure. Wonder if they are severe snow rated too.
I have an older set of STTs that have worn great over the years. They suck in rain and light snow, but are beasts offroad and in heavy snow on my YJ.
Most leftists live in cities and don't own a car. The rest of them are to mentally ill to have steady income to afford a car.
Smaller city liberals probably do, like in Lexington KY where you can be in the middle of nowhere within a half hour of leaving the downtown
I love Cooper tires, they're top notch. I always put the Cooper Discoverers on my trucks.
Let this be a lesson not for Goodyear, but for every other company that's considering following Goodyear's path.
Goodyear is learning the same lesson that every dog already knows. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
I was skeptical of cooper but after some intense driving would feel comfortable purchasing a set.
Can you imagine the reeeees of inner city liberals when they go to ask for Goodyear and based store owners say nah, stopped carrying those LOL
Ive never owned Goodyear tires, too expensive and dont seem to be worth the money (for car tires).

Their blimp was always super annoying too. I once.lived by a stadium, and the tailgate was always overshadowed by the constant REEEEEEEEEEE of the props.
Seriously tho, blimps are loud.
Also, screw Goodyear!
As long as cooper keeps their political hole shut... yup.
You know what this reminds me of? https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2019/08/02/gillette-loses-8-billion-as-sales-drop-following-woke-commercials/
When Gillette got woke, too. Last year, before Covid, they lost $8 BILLION. Since those commercials, I've now started shaving with regular double-edged razors.
I suppose all of our tires will now be Cooper, from here on out....
Made my decision between Duratracs and STTs a lot easier!
My local one plays Fox news in the waiting room
OP, what are the best American made tires? P215/55R17 specifically.
Take a look at Cooper. They make great tires, I have used them on a couple Jeeps, an Excursion, and now a smaller car. Satisfied customer here.
Fuck my boycott of tires I'd never put on my Mustang anyhow.
You sir, are the real MVP. American hero.
Cooper makes good tires. I buy them exclusively for my old Saturn, and they've got a great value.
i mean, really?!
How many marxists are buying new tires?
Who is being appealed to here?
They bet on Prius owners.
I always wish I could participate in these boycotts because I do not buy Goodyear. For my motorcycle it was always Michelin Pilot Powers and for the car Michelin Premier.
I highly recommend them for motorcycle tires though, even everyone in the community praises them for being the best affordable option without sacrificing quality.
