I have had nothing but bad from goodyear tires. The one exception was
the ones that came with the quantum. those never slipped belts and held
the road reasonably well. Several of the problems were rubber that is
either made too hard or ages to become too hard and does not grip the
road. This afternoon, i was supposed to attend lunch 60 miles away to
celebrate #1 Daughter's engagement. I was almost there when i looked up
at a street sign to try to figure out if it was where I should turn. in
that instant, the traffic ahead stopped. I should have had enough time
to get stopped, but the the crappy badyears just slid across the
pavement. This was to be the last time I drove the POSitive before it
got new rubber. Well, it was the last time I will drive the POS. Very
low speed hit, but the hood, grill one light and one fender are bent.
The other 300D (identical car) would have easily stopped in half the
distance. (Cooper CS3 tires.) POS will cost too much to repair.
Anyone need a 100k mile OM603 and transmission? I will be selling parts
in the fall. If I read the tire date code correctly, the tires were
made in 06, but had decent tread and were not weather checked.
I violated my own first rule of insurance. The cheapest insurance is
good sticky tires.
Be warned.
