If someone gets bad mileage out of a set of mileage rated tires, then they should take them back for an adjustment credit. Just make sure its all documented

Btw, Goodyear = POS
You just made my point. Thank you

Here is some thickener I haven't read anybody running Toyo's I have worn out 3 sets of T1R's on my bmw and have to say they are the best performance tire I have ever driven. Made 110k and the last set are about 1/2 gone so around 40k on a 5500lb car with sport suspension. I just didn't have the jack to put them on the SS.

With this type of generalized statements, hope you really don't expect anyone to take any of your statements seriously..... I know I wouldn't.

I generalize Goodyear vs. the amount of adjustments I have to deal with from thier product. I do more Goodyear adjustments than any other major brand

Have put 15000 on these F1's they are working very well especially for the 525$ I paid for them.

As someone with a fleet that averages well over a million miles a year, and also have a national contract with Goodyear, and others. Definately better that lots of other brands out there. If you have a complaint with a particular model or how your company deals with them, that's on you. Cause it is definatly not nation wide.

Every manufacturer has some good and some bad products. You must give consideration to the products intended application and the owner's use of that product when considering if the product is bad, or was chosen in error for its intended use.

Yes, some Goodyear tires are garbage and drastically overpriced, some are a bargain and probably underpriced and underrated. The same can likely be said about most manufacturers products.
I think it's important when asking for opinions on tires one should consider your driving habits, application, and environment, and those of others offering their opinion of them.
