IMHO,

i think is nothing to do with your rims or car..

manufacturer defect.. every tyre company sure will have some defects on certain batches.

try to claim back with warranty.

some shop said so.. to prevent you from claiming from them.. as it will affect their revenue, business and image... put the blame on the car.. pfft yea right..

as a consumer, you have to stand firm on your grounds.. dont let this tyre shop ppl influence you too much.. believe only 20% of what they say.

just claim back from goodyear... shoot a letter to them..

you can never go wrong with michelin.. yokos are good too.. cheaper alternative you can opt for neuton (subsidiary of yoko) made in indo.


for me either go for michelin or yoko.. dont bother looking at others.
