Reasons why GOODYEAR = BADYEAR

Reason why GOODYEAR = BADYEAR

GOODYEAR NCT5 TYRE...There is no "steel cord/ply" at the tyre side wall lining..it contains only rubber..i'm almost done for when using this tyre, i'm travelling around 85km/h on NKVE when suddenly the whole tyre rips apart at the side wall...the car loose control and skidded side ways, but lucky i manage to gain control, and stop at emergency lane. The tyre is less than 1 year old, and still have decent thread lining on it..i always check my tyre conditions, and maintain my tyre pressure at 30psi..i can't feel any drag or abnormalities before this incident happen, and i'm travelling on a straight, smooth open highway..

I stopped using Goodyear long time ago.....expensive for nothing!!
Lucky you're a good driver.

no steel sidewall? i tot all tyres came with steel sidewalls nowadays.was the tyre over/under inflated? or maybe was cut by something on the road? what did the tyre shop say about this?

 

[xtremeleo]

looking at the pix, it was cut by sumthing on the road. ive been using goodyear for years, nuthing like dis happens. nct5 is one of my fave, its not expensive pun compared to others on the same level of performance

 

[DanzEterna]

u should write to goodyear...complaint about this.

 

[lamedrvr]

looking at the pix - yeah, that was horrible! Ratbit...thank God you are still here to share this with us. Never experienced NCT5 before...but surely, will never thought of buying,using it after this!

thanks Ratbit...

 

[fuselage]

7 years owning a car...and since that using goodyear on off..

to me...goodyear among the best tyre supplier in Malaysia...

i agreed with danzeterna..u should go to goodyear complain bout this...posting here and bla..bla this and that will bring u to no where...

thanx

Ratbit: Dude..most of the passengers car tires sidewall only come with "Polyester" and "Rayon". U can find that construction info on the sidewall marking on each passengers car tire. while some truck tires sidewall uses "Steel Belt".

 

[Milo33]

that tyre got pancit before ka bro??:hmmmm:

 

[jd5]

Shouldn't the title be GOODYEAR = BADTIRE ?

 

[xtremeleo]

goodyear isnt bad tyre brand

 

[EvolutionZ]

goodyear is best tire in malaysia...being using it for most of my cars over the years...good wet grip and quiet on dry road too...price similar to sime or silverstone....

anyway pls keep the tire and write to goodyear..let them investigate...and did u buy it new? or used? or has it puncture b4 coz sometime if puncture..the sidewall already damaged earlier.

anyway lucky that u r ok....god bless....you driving a waja rite?

 

[DanzEterna]

at least goodyear better than silverstone.......

 

[arturo]

yah...agreed. much better than silverstone. hi speed will vibrate...

 

[lamedrvr]

at least goodyear better than silverstone.......

much-much better!

it just that when this kinda thing happened to someone else, of course, it scares you out. in this case, to Ratbit- surely he'll never, never trust goodyear again- eventhough goodyear is established world wide...

 

[xtremeleo]

dis doesnt scare me a bit, ive been using goodyear for years on every single one of d cars iam taking care of, no bad comments so far. ive been on silverstones, simes, falkens, michelins, pirellis, toyos, but nuthing has been on par on two things 1. bang for ur buck 2. good performance on both dry and wet, not to mention nuthing grips on road and still be quiet at the same time.

 

[BLaCkHoWLiNG]

Honestly, NCT5 -= tak boleh pakai.... but that doesnt mean all of good year range of tires tak boleh pakai....

 

[Yee]

dude...your car 2000bhp of course NCT5 tak boleh pakai la...think u have to ask GoodYear custom tire for u lol.

 

[shawnzz]

even proton waja with nct5 cannot pakai 1.. nct5 is like no grip tire, new or old same thing

 

[bencklim]

NCT5 is good for normal use, not to trash it around.
While for Rabbit case, very sad case and again, you should call goodyear again..
I know some of them in there. If you need contact, pm me.
Have a good day.
