Discount Goodyear Tires

Looking for some discount Goodyear tires?  Goodyear tires are a well known brand which has been around for a very long time.  In fact, they started up back in 1898 by a 38 year old Frank Seiberling.  Goodyear is not only known for producing great tires though, they have created the well known Goodyear blimps which have been around since 1925. 

These days, Goodyear Is considered the number 1 tire maker in all of North America including Latin America and they employ over 71,000 people all over the world.  This is a company which has been able to bring in over 19.5 billion in 2008 alone.  They have definitely stamped their foot down in this industry.

So considering all this, you would think that even discount Goodyear tires would perform well.  Well, maybe so, but at the same time you should know that whenever you’re looking to skimp on price, you’re also going to see a drop in the quality of the tire as well.  And when I say quality, what that basically comes down to is the traction and performance of the tires, especially under adverse conditions.

With that being said, I’ll go over with you a set of discount Goodyear tires that you may consider picking up.  These tires have received decent reviews and are considered a good deal, although some may say it’s a bit on the expensive side for their tastes:

Here’s a breakdown on how the tires handle in various road conditions:

Icy: When driven on an icy road, the tires have a bit of trouble accelerating from a standstill, it takes a while for the cars’ tires to stop spinning and for it to begin moving.  Now granted these were VERY icy conditions so if you don’t live somewhere which is over run by snow and ice, these will probably do the job for you. 

These tires are comparable to some brand new all weather tires that are 5,000 miles from becoming bald.

Wet: Driving through puddles was not an issue and where other cars would break when making turns on a wet road, there was no such issue with these wheels. 

Dry: Considering how well these discount Goodyear tires did on wet pavement, it’s no surprise they did great on the dry road.

Noise:  As far as noise is concerned, I had no problems with it.  In fact, the noise of the wind outside was probably louder than the sound of the wheels themselves.

Overall:  Overall, I would say that these are a good set of tires although they do come in at around $192 per tire which may not be the kind of discount Goodyear tires you’re looking for.  If you are in a particularly snowy climate, you may also want to consider another pair of tires.
