Are they going to point to their no guns sign when the bad guy comes into their store?

I buy from a small local company that the owners (husband and wife) both shoot so if you want to do business with someone like that in Salisbury go to Peninsula Auto Care on Carroll Street across the hospital.

So you don't think the signs will be effective at keeping bad guys from bringing guns in?

I absolutely hate Goodyear tires!

I don't think it would be a matter of disregard on the "troubled/misguided/abandoned by the system" persons part...if they could actually read...I'm sure it would make a huge difference. :lol2:

Wonder what Michelin's policy is since I'm both fond of voting with my wallet and fond of the Michelin tires on my car.

I'll pass on Goodyear tires anyway. Had to drive with their low-bid crap on RWD police cars for 25 years. I'll take just about anything include Kumhos and Fuzions before I ever buy them.

Hey now, Fuzion ZRi are the best ricer tire there is!

I wouldn't buy goodyear if they encouraged guns on their property.

Zoo, there is nothing wrong with Kumho at all unless you don't like where they are made.

I know. I just meant the general perception is Goodyear is such a pinnacle and it isn't. I even bought our first set of Nexens this year for our SUV and those are working out great.

Maybe Goodyear is afraid someone may retaliate for poor services. Oh! That's right! Once a lunatic is pissed and has a gun, chances are the sign won't matter.

As you start to research this, I think you'll find most large US corporations have similar policies. It is less about being anti-gun, and more about limiting their liability in the event of a shooting on their property.

No Goodyears here, ever!

F Em. Will never buy Goodyear tires.

I will also contact them to let them know why.

Half-cocked · Feb 13, 2014

This applies to Goodyear property, but are the local Goodyear shops their property, or are they franchises?

The Eldersburg Goodyear has always treated me right, even though I no longer buy Goodyear tires.

Doctor_M · Feb 13, 2014

I gave up on the brand a long time ago for other reasons... won't be going back now that's for sure.

I doubt that will go over well with the NASCAR crowd.

Good idea, maybe we should post this in the NASCAR forums.

Yep, this is my problem with 'no gun zone', criminals don't care.

I regret to admit my last set of tires was from a local Goodyear shop. I was armed, unwittingly in violation of their policy. I don't go where I'm not wanted, so I won't be returning to Goodyear.

Minuteman · Feb 13, 2014

2014 will be a bad year for Goodyear.

md123 · Feb 13, 2014

Well I feel safe knowing deranged suicidal killers will read the corporate policy and try the Bridgestone dealer instead (face palm).

My Goodyear tires suck anyway. Makes my choice easy now.

Dal1as · Feb 13, 2014

Hmmm, also curious what the policies are for other makers. There Silent Armor truck tires are awesome as are there summer performance GSD3's. Most of their other stuff is junk but most manufacturers only have 2 or 3 lines that are decent.

Depends on the distributor, not the company per se. I don't recall ever seeing a Michelin store.

Just posted this on my facebook page and tagged goodyear tire and rubber. Thanks for the heads up. Add them to the list of companies not getting my $$$ including BWW.
