I really want to buy American, from the only tire company left, and am willing to pay extra, versus some Asian tire.
I was early in that mien, but when the US car companies outsourced and rebadged, I switched to German cars; now old ones.
Now Goodyear is ceasing to support our C4s, it seems, with virtually no stock on the wider 17" tires. I fully understand this short horizon approach to business, but look at our industries' states.
After days and days of researching, looking at reviews shopping sources and prices, what fits my car, I decided to get the 285/40x17s for all corners. The famous online place shows them available until I go to order, upon which, the local guy is faster and much cheaper.
I ran Gatorbacks with great life and performance, if a bit noisy, so I returned to Goodyear... well, maybe not, by their choice. ad
There marketing sucks as badly as Milwaukee Tool, who have had superior tools of professional quality.
Maybe it is time to switch to Continental, rated quite similarly for performance and life, at lower cost.
