Awful Good Year Tires

Kuhns07 · July 24, 2020

I've officially had an ass full of my 2020. They've now replaced 6 tires to try and get rid of the road shake and it still does it. 2 brand new good year tires failed the road force test. How does this happen? Every time they go to rebalance they have to add a different amount of weight. So sick of I'm ready to trade in and get a cummins or power stroke. The tire shake is just the tip of the iceberg with this POS. Now they're trying to get GM to approve a different brand of tire.

I had the same issues with Michelin's on my DRW. Ultimately, it was a bad alignment from the factory that turned out to be the cause of the shake. Have the dealer check that.

They've all got problems dude. A brand new Super Duty that is 100% stock can death wobble like an SOB. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjqRf5ck2EQ

It sounds to me like your dealer isn't doing enough here however. They should get their Picoscope and hook it up and take it for a drive for a full vibration analysis. It might not be coming from the tires. They should probably check the alignment as well.

If it really is just from the tires, GM didn't make the tires, Goodyear did. Be mad at Goodyear for poor tire construction. A bad tire isn't a reason to trade a truck in.

I certainly wouldn't judge a truck by its tires. Ford and Dodge make a good HD Diesel truck but neither are as as nice as a GM, imo. I have replaced factory tires on my new trucks shortly after purchase since 2001. Tires from the factory are usually adequate but I find premium tires bring out the best in a new truck!

Wow tire issue makes truck a p.o.s. who would've known? Chill a minute and give it a rest. If this is a major issue in your life, thank God for your charmed existence!

Do know when your truck was built? If it was built before Nov there is a service bulletin to help with issue.

after 11k miles the stock goodyears seem to have almost completely stopped vibrating .

I wish it was just the tires on this truck. With 50 miles on it the the A/C quit working, dealer couldn't figure out the issue so gm sent an engineer in to try and figure it out. Ended up tearing out the dash to replace some module. There was a terrible rattle in the dash when starting on cold morning, found a loose heat shield. USB-C doesn't work. Brakes were squeaking really bad so they replaced all the pads all the way around with a new GM spec'd pad. It's doing the same thing again. Twice I went out to leave after sitting over night and both batteries were completely drained, down to 2 volts. They can't figure that out either. The wheel shake is finally better after 4 sets of tires but you can still feel a bit in the seat. The touch screen randomly goes blank and then does a re-boot and comes back on. The def alert is all over the place. I'll put 5 gallons in and it says 500 miles until reduced power.

Never been more disappointed in a vehicle in my life, especially one that cost $80K

Will never buy a goodyear product ever again here. We bought our 2012 impala new, drove it off the lot and inside 3 years the tires were splitting on the inside of the side walls, basically coming apart at the point they met tread. We had somewhere around 40 thousand miles on the tires. Luckily we did not have an accident with the car, got real bad on wet roads. The tires slipped bad in the rain from brand new. There was still enough tread left the tires should have had some warranty left, but NO. Dealer said tires were not warrantied with the bumper to bumper, and said these were performance tires, referred me to goodyear. The tire issues on those cars was a known issue and goodyear failed to stand by their product. Goodyear basically laughed at me, said these eagle's were performance tires, performance tires carry no warranty. This separation was on 3 of 4 tires. Not a fluke. Goodyear in today's world equal overpriced JUNK.

Had issues as well with goodyear 10 ply e load range wranglers wearing extremely prematurely on my old 3/4 ton truck. Had wranglers on our 2008 awd durango, the factory goodyear tires on it did last a fair life and did not have issues with wobbles or shakes. The second set of the exact same tires were not the same quality, and they got replaced before they should have needed to be replaced. Have since gone to nexen tires on both the old 98 chevy 3/4 ton and the durango. Been pretty impressed with nexen at tires.

Our 2020 2500 came with michelins. Past experience with michelins has been pretty good. Hopefully will not be replacing them anytime in the near future. Will likely go with nexen tires when the time comes to replace them.

Well, you know how it works. . . these days Goodyear seems to be more worried about supporting the BLM rioters and then at the same time banning their employees from having MAGA and American flag masks and Trump 2020 bumper stickers (and lying about all of the above until videos of employee meetings surfaced) than it is worried about making quality tires.
