These Tires SUCK!!!

[xoxshellie27xox]

Ok I got my car at the end of feb. this year and since then I replaced one tire 4 times, has anyone else had a problem with their tires?

Get an allignment if you have one tire wearing fast...
+/- toe will make a tire disappear faster than you think

[FrigginGLI]

Get better tires anyway, goodyears blow the big one.

[JimmyT]

We need more information. Why did you replace one tire four times? Where was it located on the car?

Kumho ecsta's from tirerack. SOOO MUCH BETTER! and super cheap.

[goldwing2000]

I wore out all four of my Good-for-a-Years in 15,000 miles.

The Kumhos are teh hotness. (mj)

[ZoomVT]

yes they are, just put them on (18") last night and they are f-ing sweet.
no considerable noise increase, and a very considerable increase in grip. good handling and super cheap @ tirerack.

ok...thanks for the info....Ok the first tire was hitting a bump in the road...not even bigger then a speed bump and I was doing 40. The second time I hit a pothole and brought the tire to get checked out and they said it was fine then 3 days later it was flat and they said it was no good. both of those times it was my front passenger side. The third time i hit a pothole and the tires were rotated so now it was my rear passenger side and I blew a hole in it<- I guess it was my fault (pissed). And now making it my fourth time a nail was in my tire the morons plugged it and it was no good. I hate low-profile tires.

I have bad luck I guess...not to mention my windshield (cryhard)

[fam]

yeah i busted one of the goodyears on a pothole too. Now I pay more attention to the road :-)

pics?

I'll be posting pics pretty soon.

Your story saddens me (sad1) .... however it does make me appreciate the tire/rim insurance I got when I purchased (strike)

[xoxshellie27xox]

yup!! (yes)

[Sylent_Snyper]

No problem at all!!!

Damn...I've got 28,500 on mine and I'll probably be able to get another 5-10K out of them (hopefully).

[ZoomVT]

everyone refers to the stock tires as goodyears but i had coopers on mine.
whats the deal?

You must have gotten lucky.

[ZoomVT]

hmmmm
alright then. i'll take it i guess but i dont see how they put different tires on their vehicles.
what year/month was yours built?

[goldwing2000]

12/03

The dealer might have changed yours out for some reason. Who knows?

[ZoomVT]

mine is 03/04
maybe the year makesa difference. The dealer def didnt change it. The paperwork fro the car has a booklet specifying warranty details fro the cooper tires and it has the mazda logos all over the place, so i know it came that way straight from the manufacturer.

[goldwing2000]

Must have just gotten lucky, then. Mine came with brochures for Goodyear and Toyo, for sure. There might have even been a Cooper brochure in there, too. I have no idea what the determining factor was. Maybe geographic location. Since you're up in VT, maybe the Coopers were a better snow tire. (dunno)

[BlueMonsta]

everyone I know
got
Goodyear RS-As for 17''
and Toyos for 16''.

and the RS-As do suck ass.
1010tires has good reviews on tires.
and the RS-As rating is a 2 if i remember right.

[xoxshellie27xox]

yeah mine are def. good year P.O.S

[ZoomVT]

strange. maybe he is right and i got the coopers because better snow handling necessary in the northeast. i got coopers on my 16s i dont know what they are putting on the 17s.

[BlueMonsta]

the factory tires applies to canada, not sure about US.
but we got plenty of snow and (fu) RS-As for snow use

[fam]

rsa's suxors in the snow at initial traction, once youre up to speed they are ok.

[Sylent_Snyper]

I'm in PA and I got stuck with the Goodyears..... havent had them in snow yet... but they do spin in the rain very easily!!

[ZoomVT]

the coopers spin on the rain easily as well. i didnt even try them on the snow i just knew it wasnt going to cut it.

[xoxshellie27xox]

I didnt have a problem in the snow/rain..thank god...now I have to knock on wood...but I have to keep replacing them

[dvtib]

just so far one... what tires did you get?

[xoxshellie27xox]

good year (piss) .....lol sorry I never saw this one before so I decided to use it
