just a word to the wize for yall. I have had a go to school session on the av susspention this week
I just found out by the local discount tire guys that my
goodyear AT/S tires are having belt separation issues o
I think thay are 265 70 17 size. all four had noticable
bumps on the inner and outer sidewall to tread patch areas
the bumps had a dry rott look with cracks and blistering type indications. I took them to my local good year dealer and thay had a real good look including writing down all four S/Ns of course thay put it up on the allignment machine and found that the factory setting were way out of whack with major camber issues and slight to modorate toe out ( no wonder the dame thing featherd so bad)
I had no idea that the facttory setting would be so far out
they said they would put in a call to good year and get back with me
about replacement but not to get my hopes up.
not wanting to wait for rejection I went to the dealer and they(Monday chevrolet in Houston) gladly replaced them. He said it was because of my Dale Earnhardt sicker on the truck but I think that was just to get my mind off the issue lol I asked about the allingment and no can do under warenty 24k too mutch for them only willing to go 10 k get them checked ASAP because the settings are bad from the factory it will save you lotsa greef in the future not too mention a new set of tires at 600 bucks. 70 bucks is a deal for the alignment instead of 600 for new tires every 24k
just a heads up on the tires (separation thing) check um out I bet you got it too
with all of the firestone thing I hope this helps to save just one life
catch ya on the road
