The worst tires that I have ever owned. They wore out in 14 months (they were fitted to our brand new car) and were horrible the entire time.
I complained numerous times to the dealership who called Goodyear each time and the Goodyear rep said that it had tone driving style. No, that is wrong, I was a professional driver for decades and never had any issue with any other tire.
They were unstable on the highway, the car would wander off to the left the the right with no steering input, back to the dealer who check the alignment and everything else they could think of and never found anything wrong.
I had a tire depth gauge because I also own classic cars that I restore as a hobby and used the gauge regularly each week because I could visually see that the tires had uneven wear.
Back to the dealer who checked alignment and everything else, and never found anything wrong but the wear was quite bizarre.
I accidentally heard the dealer talk to the regional Goodyear rep and they talked about a local restaurant so I asked and it turned out that the regional Goodyear office was barely 2 miles from my house so I got the address and went there.
The Goodyear rep was nice but did nothing for us at all, stating that some tires wear out faster and that some drivers are rough on their tires, no, I am not, this is definitely a problem unique to this tire.
I eventually got my point across and he let me walk into their warehouse where he showed me piles of thousands of Goodyear Integrity tires that had catastrophic failures, it was shocking to see so many thousands of failed tires piled up and the rep just shrugging his shoulders, not caring abut the failures.
Goodyear did nothing for us, they wore out 2 months after the warranty on the tires had expired (14 months, they only had a 12 month warranty) so Goodyear simply offered to mount a new set of Goodyear Integrity tires on our wheels if we paid full price for the tires.
No, that is just nonsense.
I left and purchased a set of Continental True Contact (now its the Continental True Contact Tour) which is fantastic, the car drives correctly, so it was obviously a tore problem, and we still have them on the car many years later proving that the driver was not at fault, the Continental tires are truly that much better.
Do not buy/use Goodyear Integrity tires, they are truly horrible and Goodyear has no integrity, they sold up an inferior product that is part of the safety system of our car and they did nothing to help us.
