BTW,, Have any of you folks ever dealt with Warranty from a Tire Manufacturer?
My 2012 Grand Sport Corvette ate her tires at the 9K mark.
No burnouts, just driving about.
I went to four large Goodyear tire outlets to put in a claim. I was treated like Shit.
One guy at the counter?
I came so close to punching him in the face.
He walks outside and looks at the tires.. Oh, what have you been doing? What? I've been driving my car from point A to point B.
The front tires have the belts coming through.. The rears could possibly pass inspection.
All four Goodyear dealers tried to chase me out of the place. They didn't want anything to do with me regarding Warranty.
I live in a small town of 2500. Riding down my main road I had noticed a small repair garage.
This guy has Goodyear tire sale flags waving all over the place.
For the hell of it, I stopped in.
Great Guy.
He loved the Vette. We went back and forth about my tires dead at 9K miles.
He offered.. He said let's do it. I've never put in a Warranty Claim with Goodyear.
let's run these tires through.
Goodyear faxed him a form too fill out. They requested photos, Measurement of tread dept and mileage.
He complied.
Goodyear later sent notice that they were shipping out four brand new tires.
Awesome!
All is good.
The tires arrived.
He phoned and asked when I would like to come down to swap out the tires.
Before I could even reply, he phoned back.
Sorry, My wife just noticed something.
Goodyear is asking that we immediately "PAY" for all four tires in full.
They want us to pay thousands of dollars for the tires.
After you ship your infected tires back on your dime, we will decide how much you are "entitled" too.
I can't blame the guy for telling them to **** Off.
They asked for photos, depth and all the other BS.
He complied...
Later,,,, Goodyear grabbed him by the balls.
Goodyear holds their dealers responsible.. They write themselves off.
