Re: Talk me out of buying Goodyear MT/R's?
I have 35" MT/R's and I am fairly happy with them. They don't clean out as
well as my buddies' swampers in the mud, but I do ok. It was also a toss up
for me between brands, and I chose based on country. Goodyear is American
owned, BFG is French.
Make any comment you want about those Frenchies, or my politics, or even
that I have my head up my ***. I chose American, buddy.

Re: Talk me out of buying Goodyear MT/R's?
Michelin employs 20,000 Americans in seven states. It pumps billions
into local economies, uses local American suppliers, and pays millions
in local, state and federal taxes. A good chunk of Michelin North
America is owned by its American employees and American investors.
http://www.bytelevel.com/blog/archives/000095.html
http://clemsonews.clemson.edu/automotive/mnainsc.html
I have friends and family who work for Michelin here in NS, Canada.
Michelin employees around here have consistently opted to remain
non-unionized because of their excellent wages, benefits, job security,
and working conditions. Michelin would never try to pull something like
this:
http://www.bigclassaction.com/class_.../goodyear.html
Something to think about next time you're looking for ways to put the
screws to the snail eaters.
I'd like to tell you I bought my BFGs because of all the money Michelin
invests in small towns in my province, but the truth is I got a great
deal through a relative's employee discount benefit. Otherwise, I
probably would have tried the MT/Rs.
