> Well, I guess it’s no more Goodyear tires for me.

You mean no more tires, or financial services , or groceries, or telecom, or utilities, or energy, or travel, or computing, or electronics, or insurance, or health care for me ....

That was usually a bad idea even before Goodyear got woke here.

I was already not buying their products because they sucked or had poor availability. Bit difficult to “not buy harder.” :P

look for the DOT tire manufacture date on the side of the tire. They very well could be older than you realize. Experts claim that tires have a life span of six years irregardless of tread wear. The rubber starts to break down. OTH, the manufacturers will argue their tires can have a eight to ten year life span. Always check the DOT before purchasing new tires.

I had a place try to sell me new, unused tires that were manufactured five years before. If I bought them, by the time I put my 60k miles on the tires, they would have been 12 years old. Not good and very dangerous.

Take a close look at the warranty. If it’s a good one you may be able to return them claiming you “are not satisfied”. That would hurt them where it counts.

Starting to smell a lot like 1930s Germany around here

It certainly is. The socialists are running amok, their fascists underpinnings are showing through, yet they keep portraying themselves as the good guys, pointing to others as the enemy.

The incredibly sad thing is that far too many people are simply going along. If people ever wondered how the National Socialist German Workers Party rose to power and was able to commit such atrocities... Just look around, we are unfortunately seeing it play out again.

I wonder what it will take to stop it this time around.

Tried posting a link this morning to an article on one of my FB community pages ...

Iowa Professor Warns Students Might Get Dismissed If They Oppose Pro-Choice Or Black Lives Matter Positions

Only to have it pulled by FB for not meeting 'community standards'.

I then posted just the title as a reply on the post so folks could still find it by an online search.

I have no idea why people thought that was a good look on any post-war car.


I remember my dad ranting how hard it was to find white walls for his ‘49 Buick convertible. But the pic I have of it shows he must have found some.

I’ve been meaning to get a set of Cooper tires for some years now.

I always got Goodyear tires because they were headquartered in Akron, Ohio.

Cooper is headquartered in Findlay, Ohio. That will do just fine.

2020: "If someone wants to wear a BLM shirt in here, then cool."

2021: "Why aren't you wearing a BLM shirt? Are you some kind of racist?"

“Their tires sucked.” My Good Year tires never sucked, they blew. I quit buying them 45 years ago.

Portland sucks
