My originals came with the coach ... GY's left front incurred the rivering!! NO ONE seems to have the answer!! I purchased 2 new Michelins for the front. I'm happy with the ride/performance so far.
Sour grape group? It seems to me that if you pay a premium for a brand name tire, it should last AT LEAST as long as less expensive tires.

I've seen rivering on commercial truck tires dating way back to the early 1980s. And it is not limited to Goodyear. Have also seen it on Bandag recaps too. In the trucking industry, they just keep right on running them and when they get real bad they put them on the rear tandems or on the trailer and continue to run them.
wnypat: Trucker use and RV use are 2 different animals. Big rigs will change tires more often that RV'rs change oil! It is not unusual for a big rig to change tires in less than a year. They have the luxury of multiple axles and no rear wheel wells made of plastic. There are many brands of tires used on DP's that do not river. Goodyear is not one of them!
