Good Year tire cracking

[vito.a]

I've had serious issues with Goodyear G670 tires on two different motorhomes. They tend to river on the front and are notoriously out of balance. Then at three years they starting blowing 1 by 1.
I will never use another Goodyear motorhome tire again.

GY was not on my list of acceptable candidates when I bought a new set of tires earlier this year...

Still have not heard back from Good Year. Store said it could take a while and no way for customer to check with Good Year.

Just replaced the gy tires on the front of our coach with toyos. We had only had them for a year. Not worth the money or hassle.

We are at Spartan Motors now, they sent pics to GY yesterday. Those splits are on both front tires, which both have the same manufacture dates in early 2015. Will keep you updated on our side, please keep us updated as well! Thanks!

Spartan just handed us a copy of the GY warranty and is sending us to them. GY will not say yet, until they have it and can study the issue...guess we will be in the same boat as you. I think they were made in the 3rd or 4th week of 2015. Our rear tires were make in the 41st week of 2015. Spartan had to find the dates for us...they were facing to the inside.

Definitely don't like the way the warranty is worded...

I did have a full set of GY tires replaced (pro-rated) on a Plymouth voyager many years ago, original equipment tires chopped badly, they replace them with GY Eagle ST's (at that time) and all was well, they were good to work with, used local independently owned GY store.

I ditched my GY tires on the RV when they were 9 years old, even then I had no cracking and/or uneven wear, just was uncomfortable with age. I feel pretty sure there is someone somewhere riding on them now! I am pretty confident the dealer (not GY) did not dispose of them, they had about 17,000 miles on them.

Well, like they say - the name doesn't lie, they'll be good for a year.

But seriously, those are awfully shiny tires. Do you put tire dressing on them? I have had to stop my wife from gooping up the motor home tires. I have noticed weather checking to be more frequent after she uses that stuff on all of our other vehicles.

My second MIL drove a Lincoln Battlecruiser and one night out to dinner I happened to notice cracking all of the way around the outside of all four tires. I drove her car home and then back to the Ford dealer the next day. The tires were less than 14 months old and about 10 months on the car. All four had the cracking all around near the bead on the outside of all four and no cracking on the inside. She had a mobile detailing done every week. Goodyear took care of the tires that time but also sent her a letter telling her that they would not warranty a second set if they were dressed with a silicone dressing.

We were told the two front tires will be replaced at no charge, but we have to wait around a week, since they did not have any in stock. I'll post again AFTER we pull out of the tire shop next week, just to let you know for sure if we had to pay anything. We went to a GY shop.

Good news for you. But I am not giving up my Michelins.

[AbuelaLoca2]

Wasn't free, but cost less than $200. We had to pay tax and 1/32nd-worth of tread wear. So, yes, we did pay a little of that pro-rate fee charged after the first 12 months. Could have been much worse, considering!

Still waiting on mine. Sent a punch up letter to their warranty customer service dept.
