Goodyear Tires Phased Out?
Yahoo Message Number: 87119
Good morning, all. I have been researching tires for three days and had just decided to go with the Goodyear G675's for my 22' LD. My tire guy said they are no longer making this model. The new Goodyear is significantly more expensive than the g675, and I have not read any reviews of it. I hesitate to go with Michelins, but seem to be headed down that road. Any ideas/feedback on the new Goodyears? Thanks, Camille

--- Does your 22' use a 225/75R/16 load range E tire? If so, and you wanted Goodyears, you might want to look at the G647RSS Unisteel.  You might also look at a Kumho Road Venture HT; it's not all-steel, but it's a pretty good tire.  Look also at the Michelin XPS Rib (all steel) or the LTX M/S or A/S; all these come in the 225/75R/16 load range E size.  If your 22' has 16.5" wheels, what's available is very limited.
 I would guess that your 22' has a GVWR of 11000-11500 pounds, and even for this lesser (than 14050) GVWR, I'd still suggest load range E tires.

I have about 10,000 miles on my B. F. Goodrich Commercial T/A Load Range E on my 31' SOB with a slide and have been very pleased with their performance.  Much less expensive than others.

Thanks for the good options, Joan.

Just so folks know, the Goodyear g675's have been phased out, AND the Kumho Road Venture HT's are no longer available.

I've decided on BF Goodrich Commercial TAs. Waynes Tire in Arroyo Grande is installing them on Monday.
Phew! Glad that bit of studying is done.

Now on to more exciting projects like SOLAR and SEWING! Thanks again Joan. Hope to meet you soon. -

 I had never heard of G675s, but the Kumho Road Venture HT tires still show as available on the Kumho website and at Tire Rack.  It's not unheard of for a tire guy to tell a customer that a particular tire is "no longer available"; it usually means that he doesn't want to take the trouble to get the tires from a different supplier and he has another tire he wants to sell you. Be sure to check the manufacture dates on the tires you do buy; don't accept "old" or date mis-matched tires.
