How many Police Cars have Goodyear Tires? Can the Cops refuse to drive a crusier that has Goodyaer Tires?

These so called 'geniuses' that pass all these decrees have no feel for the word IRONY.

They also don't appear to know the meaning of RACISM or DISCRIMINATION which they definitely are practicing the way it is being presented..

Goodyear's reply:

“Goodyear is committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful workplace where all of our associates can do their best in a spirit of teamwork. As part of this commitment, we do allow our associates to express their support on racial injustice and other equity issues but ask that they refrain from workplace expressions, verbal or otherwise, in support of political campaigning for any candidate or political party as well as other similar forms of advocacy that fall outside the scope of equity issues.”

Melissa Monaco, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company

Some of the “import” brands’ tires are made in the US,

Yep, I don't recall the name but that is what I am running right now for that exact reason.

Rides smooth and quiet, very nice on the truck.

"look for the DOT tire manufacture date on the side of the tire."

DOT date is 2115, which for Goodyear is the 21st week of 2015. Vehicle was purchased the end of July 2015, so the tires weren't old at the time.

That said, their performance is fading quickly. Even with the remaining tread, well within the safety margin, they will be replaced in the next few months.

all you need out of ALL of that is the word EQUITY

it means white men have had FAR TOO MUCH of their share

EQUITY among women and minorities and lgbtq is accepted and wanted. they finally get to say what they want to say

not anyone else

I have run Goodyears on every vehicle I’ve owned for at least 30 years.

No more. I’m done.

“Some of the “import” brands’ tires are made in the US, just FYI.”

That’s fine, my problem is with the UNIONS in the US. That’s why I was ok buying ‘Japanese’ cars made in the US. In fact, I’m happy to give jobs to REAL Americans, rather than America-hating union members.

Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company (GT) was trading at $9.73 per share at the close of the market today. Most analysts rate the stock as overvalued. It pays no dividend, has no P/E ratio, and the earnings per share are negative.

Time to start shorting the stock and buying put options. With this kind of boneheaded management, you will be in the money in no time.

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 Fallen 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.
