Need tires? Don’t even think about buying Goodyear. – I’m currently searching for new tires for our car, and was looking seriously at a 50,000-mile set from the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. After all, it’s a great American company – or at least it used to be – and I’m all about buying American since China’s government intentionally spread a deadly virus all over the world.
But that consideration of ever buying from Goodyear ended this morning when news broke about a new attire policy the company has adopted for its employees. Check out this graphic:
So, it’s perfectly fine for Goodyear employees to wear clothing endorsing BLM, an openly-Marxist domestic terrorist group funded by front groups for George Soros and the Democrat Party. But it is not ok for those same employees to wear attire endorsing law enforcement or their desire to make America great again. You seriously cannot make this stuff up, folks.
In response to this bit of news, President Trump himself issued the following tweet:
Conservatives have always been reluctant to play the same kinds of boycott/cancel culture games that the left has made a daily part of our lives. But this really and truly does need to change.
There is a increasingly hostile and intense war for the soul of this nation taking place right now, today. Sadly, only one side is really fighting it, and it isn’t us.
That must change.
Boycott Goodyear Tire and Rubber, folks. Boycott this deplorable company and its management like your way of life depends on it.
Because you know what? It does.
That is all.
As much as I like the local Goodyear place a block away and the people there, I guess I will have to go somewhere else.
There is another local place, family owned I think. About 2 miles away.
It’s a good year to switch tire brands!
Thanks for the heads-up as I shop for complete set of tires for two vehicles this fall.
Damn it! Why, Goodyear, why?!?! I don’t like other manufacturers tires...
National name brands fund the LEFTIST media.
I have purchased Goodyear tires on two previous occasions both of which occurred over 20 yrs ago. And in each instance, the tires were defective. The last set, the tires were not perfectly round and you could see this just by looking at them.
Since that time, I only buy Continental tires which are made in Germany and which came as the original tires with my MB.
Bad year for goodyear
I
Hankook's tread life isn't that great but boy are they QUIET and the CORNER HANDLING is astounding.
I recently replaced the tires on my Cherokee Trailhawk. I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews. I settled on the Falken Wildpeak AT3W. Amazing tires at an incredible price point with a 55K mile treadwear guarantee. I would highly recommend them for anybody looking for a light truck/SUV all terrain tire.
If I were to go to a Goodyear store, I would expect the employees to be wearing clothing with Goodyear emblems on them. Why are they allowing anything other than that?
Please don’t get their tires
they doubled down on their position in a reply
Some things, it’s really hard not to buy from a liberal owned place.
Tired ain’t one of them. There are other good ones out there.
You CANNOT show support for Trump there, or even all lives.
just men who cut their privates off and blm
Hankook’s are made in South Korea, so as allies that’s no so bad.
“Goodyear?”
“No, the worst.”
I hate to break it to you, but they're made in China. In fact, most components on all German cars are Chinese these days.
Cnservatves might complain, blm will maim and kill
Goodyear is on my no-go list unless heads roll over this.
I am on a mobile. I don’t see any
Graphic. Also
