The van has 101K on it now and the funny thing is I got about the same milage out of the OEM tires - about 50k (they were Generals -Americans or something like that). I asked inquired about them today and I was told they are not made anymore - Go figure- they actually performed as advertised. I asked about the warranty today at two different Goodyear stores and they both said the tire failed from dry rot and the it is only warrantied for dry rot for three years. I asked about the tread life and again they both said I need to prove with receipts that I had the tires rotated, balanced, aligned etc on a regular basis. I do most of my car work myself so no such receipts exist. I am getting mad. What good is a warranty if everything is an exception to the warranty.

I did find a cheap pair of Firestone FR380 for $67 each out the door. Granted they are not a great tire, but I am thinking why pay twice that if I have to do this again in 3.5 years.
