It pays to shop around, as most of you have already stated in other posts. A couple of days ago my son had a Goodyear dealer look at a Goodyear steer tire on his semi. The tire had 30000 miles on it. My son put both steer tires on used with only 10,000 miles on them. Dealer tells him there is no warranty if he's the second owner. Son left in a huff.
Today son went to another dealer fifty miles away from the first one but owned by the same company. Store manager looked at the tire, told my son there is something wrong with the tire and the manager offered to send the tire to Good Year to have it looked over. He didn't mention a thing about second ownership. Second dealer offered to sell my son two new ones for about $75.00 less per tire than first dealer's offer. Second dealer got the sale and my son's future business. Jim
The second dealer did say it's hard to get warranty service out of Goodyear.
