Message: [QUOTE="sissy, post: 179250, member: 2982"] The garage called at the tires are dry rotted and nothing else they could find and I had them changed at the goodyear store and guy at the garage said it seems to be common for goodyear in the last couple of years .Problem is all they recommend for explorers are goodyear tires .I paid 157 dollars a piece for better tires and this is what I get .He told me I should go with the cheaper wrangler tires and get them changed more often and also buy conditioner or wipe the sidewalls with a very small amount of motor oil so they do not dry out .Cheaper wrangler tires are 87 dollars .I do spray my tires with the conditioner but may try the tiny amount of oil .The vehicles are always under the carport .I never had this problem in NJ had goodyear tires on my ranger truck for over 10 years and on my Thunderbird for 5 years .I had these put on when the truck had around 67 thousand miles and it only has just about 69 thousand mile on the truck now .So around 2 thousand miles for tires geeze .The tire place said the 4 th tire was ready to go too and he said I was not going faster when it happened .The good year tire plant is right here in Danville VA and the goodyear store I bought mine at is in Danville VA also .
