Bad news for Goodyear G159 RV tire owners

I just finished reading the tragic story of RV crashes and related fatalities caused by Goodyear G159 RV tires as reported by Jalopnik.  If you have these tires you need to read this article before moving the RV.    I think I will stick with Michelins.

If you have Goodyear 159's, they are WAY, WAY out of date.  That tire has been out of production for way longer than anyone should consider running tires!

Zombie thread!  Bet Goodyear wishes it would go away. They do, however, own it.
