Title: Tire recall
Post by: chessie4905 on June 08, 2022, 07:02:29 AM
Anybody use or used Goodyear G159 tires? Goodyear is recalling the 275x70-R22.5. probably only used on motorhomes. Been discontinued for several years.

My tire guy for over 40 years will have nothing to do with any GoodYear product including Dunlop. Good Luck, TomC

We'd been running Dunlop for ten years - no issues except tire guys will say they're harder to balance. Goodyear has bought out Dunlop a few years ago..

Hankook tires are a good deal. And considering it is the standard tire on Freightliners if a tire isn't specified, they are good. Good luck, TomC
