One of the high mileage guys had the split tires. He got a rebate from Goodyear (60 bucks a tire I think)

Re:drw sidewall tire split

ok heres the scoop!!!!!!!!!1 i went toa gooyear dealer today and all they would do is tell me it would cost me 92.00 to replace it...its a 200.00 tire and nobody else makes one...but i had to get it....i would think that this was a liability issue and they should pay more than that..face it a sidewall defect is a serious problem...but they got us by the******
