Apparently, Goodyear must also make their own Blimps...the quality evident in this photo seems to be about consistent with that of their crappy assed tires.

I've always had good luck with Goodyear - but I am buying their better tires, not the cheapest

NTSB is initially reporting that tread separation as a possible cause of the accident.

Goodyear sucks.

They used to be the contract supplier for HMMWV and truck tires, their tires are the absolute worst crap even in the civilian market:

RS-A
Eagle LS
Eagle anything

CRAP.

There are idiots who buy Crown Vics and buy Goodyear RS-A tires becuase they're "cop tires" and think they are the shiznit. Newsflash: Ford buys whatever tires are the cheapest as OEM equipment. They have a contract with GY that allows them to buy the RS-As at reduced prices. Police departments CONTINUE to use these shitty tires because they can also buy them at reduced prices, like $40-$60 a tire.

They have good traction until 10k miles and then you can throw them out. Otherwise, normal sixpack joe/jane will have to buy them at $130 a tire.
