Hi!!

Anyone hv used or using Goodyear Duraplus 185/60R14?

Can pls confirm if it has 2 (TWO) Sidewall plies or juz ONLY 1 ?

Why?
Cos saw @a shop got different values embossed on the sidewalls of different tyres of the SAME model...
Me like...What? Same make & model but different no. of sidewall plies?
Now, which is correct?

Googled but no results of such specs for this tyre model...
The GY Assurance has 2 sidewall plies...
However, the Mich XM2 has only 1 tho...

TQVM in adv...

No one knows abt such a discrepancy in tyre production?
Me was so shocked 2C it, too!
Even the Production Date embossed on the tyres was the same week & year!!
Phew!
Thought Goodyear had good QC all this while...

UPDATE :

Issue proven 2b a kinda "Technical" error?

1. Tyre shop guy (2gether with me) chk-ed other 14" donuts & found they all hv ONLY 1 sidewall ply!
2. On re-chk-ing those GY Duraplus tyres, it was clearly seen that the INNER sidewalls of those embossed with info of 2 sidewall plies hv a different embossed info abt the no. of sidewall plies!
Juz state ONLY 1 sidewall ply!!
So outer sidewall embossed as hving 2 plies BUT inner sidewall embossed as hving ONLY 1 sidewall ply!!
Phew!!

Now one wonders...
Who is (maybe are?) at fault?
In Goodyear Msia factory?

Definitely at least a human (mayb more than 1?) is at fault!!

Whatever has happened 2GY Msia QC stds?

YOU tell me...

Wld I choose another GY tyre in future?
Pls answer 4me...TQVM!
