Well there's some "Good" news. I'm glad to hear that. Since the merger took place, it seems as though Chrysler has been slowly moving away from using Goodyear and using other brands. I for one have had the best luck with Goodyear being able to get over 70K easily out of a set, while having good traction until the end and doing this without making the terrible noises that sets of General and Continentals have given us in the past. If I don't get Goodyear, I get a brand made by Copper. Michelin's tires are expensive and from my observation don't last as long, nor do their different brands they own. I don't like Bridgestone or Firestone as they tend to make a lot of noise and fall apart. I also won't buy them because I blame them for Wilderness issue back in the late 90s. I don't like Continental or General because they wear out too fast and start to make noises when they get about 30K on them. I also like to buy them because they are an American brand and I want to support domestic brands when possible.
