All joking aside, the name is pronounced differently and it’s Goodyear that’s deciding to kneel before Kamala.

The Goodyear RS-As were the most common standard equipment tire on cop cars as of a few years ago, and were the most popular police fleet replacement tire at the same time - so a lot, and probably not.

Check reviews carefully. Cooper’s had a bunch of recalls in recent years and their product quality varies wildly by model.

There are actually plenty of American made tires - there are Pirellis and Michelins made in the US, for example.

Probably put together by some socialist in the HR department.

Yeah, I remember when Goodyear consolidated a lot of it's assets and pulled them back to Akron. I grew up about a mile (as the crow flies) from a Kelly Springfield tire plant that first started building tires in 1921. Oh, the stench. Betwen that and the paper mill several miles further up the Potomac, dumping their wastewater into the river, you haven't lived until you smelled that witch's brew of paper chemicals and cooking rubber......anyway, I'll bet at least half of the retail tire inventory in our town were KS tires, simply because of the relation to the plant. And people bought them, they were plentiful and cheap. It probably employed a quarter of the area for decades. Then that 'greenmail' fiasco occurred back in the mid-80's, and Goodyear was forced to restructure to buy back all it's outstanding stock. The former president of the tire plant told my late dad at the time, he was paying the employees there an average of $15 an hour in wages (in early 1980's dollars) but only getting $10 an hour worth of productivity out of them. It was an open joke that guys would spend a career sitting in a tool crib, signing out wrenches, then collect a union pension after 20 or 25 years, still young enough to go finagle a municipal or rail job. It was like the rail yard up there (huge in it's heyday, as well), you had to know someone (or wait for someone to die to open a job) to get hired. So, Goodyear had to trim the fat to grab that outstanding stock, and that plant was a prime target. Word had it that after the decision came down, the plant suddenly topped new productivity records from the workers fighting to keep it open, but too late. They shuttered the plant the following year, turned the land back over to the city, and the Goodyear parent company finally moved the local admin offices back to Akron several years ago. 'Get woke, go broke' ain't the only way of committing suicide. Idleness and greed can kill ya just as quick.

No actually there are only two brands that are always, every tire made in America, Goodyear and Cooper look it up.

SAY WHAT???!??!
I won’t even watch.
I’m not PETA but it would sicken me.
Can watch a statue fall on a blm member, but not an animal abused like that.
Conservatives don’t dislike animals. Many of us love them.
We’re just not INSANE and wont destroy a whole area over an endangered fish or put their lives above humans.
