Good Year is aware, I have no doubt. If you don't believe it, call Customer Service and ask some hard questions and listen to 'em skirt the issue.
I won't go into the details of my conversation here, only so far as to say that my call was to ask if I could get some adjustment on an upgrade to G114's before the G614's failed. The answer was "No"; then I began the hard questions and statements of fact, which I was aware of, as related to other's experiences and failures with the G614's. From that point on it became non-sensical to the point of comical!!!!!!!! Albeit, totally disgusting and wihtout logic.
Having said all of that, I still bought the G114's from Good Year because of their history of accepting accountability for failures in most cases that I am aware of. That and the fact that I do have faith in the fact that the G114's have been much more reliable thusfar.
3 Hail Mary's - 2 Our Father's & fingers crossed!!!!!
