GoodYear Trackers

[The Grebe]

Quick question....has anybody out there had any experience with GoodYear Tracker tires? I bought a new set for my Dodge Dakota, had em balanced and wheels aligned and yet the tires seem to be kind of noisey? Does anybody know if this is a common occurrance with this type of tire?

I'm not sure of the model of tires I have but they are Goodyear brand. Very noisy. I have them on a GMC Yukon XL. I did have Michelin in the past and am considering a change back to them.

P.S, the highway speed blowout (front left) this past fall has left me concerned and somewhat nervous about them. Roadside assistance was needed as the factory jack would not get me off the ground enough to change tire. 3 jacks located in different positions were needed to get it off the ground in a safe and stable position to change tire due to uneven surface.

Tire was replaced and roadside assistance was taken care of, No Fee's.

Less then 5000 miles on them. I have heard no word back on probable cause but the internet has proved to be full of interesting story's about tire manufacturers...

Scupper, not to defend any tire manufacturer, because in the last few years, they have all gone cheap, and moved everything to China to make them as cheap as possible. But when you have a wear item, that takes as much abuse as a tire does, with the massive quantity of tires sold, there will be several bad reviews, and people having problems. Every tire, or vehicle manufacturer will have problem items, with the volume that are out there.

Thank you Scott for sharing your input.

However, serial numbers taken from representative of said manufacturer off of my tires indicated that they were manufactured in North Carolina in November of 2011. China?

My intention is to share my experience with said tires and is not a review of any type.

They are noisy, one of them failed with limited miles. They are listed as a 60,000 mile tire.

Again, thanks for piping in.
