I agree. I've have had bad luck with Goodyear and especially TERRIBLE LUCK with all Firestone made tires. I now only buy Michelin, BFG, and Uniroyal (all Michelin made tires) and haven't had any problems since. You pay a little more, but its worth it. It seems like I could never get Goodyear tires to balance (always vibrated) and the Firestones separated. :16suspect
