More goodyears bite the dust!
Many of you may have seen me complain about goodyear tires. I mentioned that 8 out of 8 tires we got from goodyear failed. Well two of those 8 were replaced because well, it was the first two that blew out and we thought replace with the same tire and we should have no more problems. Well the two REPLACED tires both bit the dust within a few days of each other. We will NEVER have another goodyear tire on any of our vehicles!
These are the last two goodyears we had and failed. The one has nearly new thread on it yet (1/2"+ thread left). Goodyear tires are JUNK! This is the final 2 out of 10 in which all 10 goodyear tires failed!

Had 2 sets of Goodyears on a boat trailer over a decade with no issues but recently went with another brand now. Never put them on any of my vehicles though. For what they cost I never felt Goodyears were worth it. My parents had several sets on their vehicles over the years and most were not so great but no failures.

Not sure what you are expecting from a OLD AND WORN tire. Those tires are nowhere near new. Or even 1/2 used
I understand you dislike Goodyears, but I think you are beating a dead horse for the fact that it's dead. Not because it did its job. But for sheer audacity of not lasting forever.
Can you post a pic of the sidewall? Especially the build date stamp. I wouldn't e surprised to see age/weather cracks and that these tires are 4+ yrs old

They do look close to bald however I do not know how much they wore when the started to separate. Doesn't look like the center part of tread that is left would pass the penny test.

70-80psi depending on the season and what the truck is hauling.
Yes E rated tires and no where near overloaded.
This one tire was the one that lasted the longest and I admit it is worn but not nearly as bald as it looks in the pics. None of the other 9 tires came even close to being as worn as this one and failed within a year of being installed NEW. Its NOT just this ONE tire! I expect a tire not to laminate and fall apart before it is worn out let along 10 of them...
10 out of 10 tires! 100% fail rate. Not just one tire.
Millions of miles, probably around 100 tires, we haven't seen this problem with other tire brands.

Snow seeker, I kind of agree with the way this thread is going. Those tires look abused, what were they on and how are they used? They appear to be put through some pretty hard service.
I understand the frustration, don't be offended, it just seems that 100% failure of those tires points to how they are used more than bad design.
I'm not a Goodyear homer, just an unbiased opinion.

I don't think you guys are reading everything. We run many trucks ALL in the same conditions with many different tires over the years. ONLY goodyear falls apart. Its not like we put gooyears on a couple of our trucks then all of a sudden started using the trucks differently because of the new tires.
The trucks are mostly highway used, this truck does see allot of gravel roads but like I said it has never had a problem with any other tire brand.
The other truck that had all 4 goodyears fail on is a strictly highway truck so NO abuse there.
This is a goodyear failure, 10 tires in a row people! Not just one random tire. 4 tires on two different trucks that see two different environments as well as the two "these will be better" tires.
10 tires!
