More specifically, Goodyear will first cut the slow movers, and focus only on the "profitable" sizes, which will only speed the decline, and all the while, increasing prices, as there is nowhere else to shop.
We have seen this numerous times before.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Well it don't say anything about the Cobra line of tires, so it should be fine. Goodyear would have waited til people dies before recalling tires.

I hope my post gets some attention so this leads me to a question(s). With the merger I'm wondering if it would be beneficial to buy Cooper tires anymore? I know the 275/60/15s are now made in Mexico according to TireRack. I looked at some 235/75/15 Goodyears and lots of reviews rated them not so great. So, at this point I'm just wondering if something like Milestar RWL tires would be okay to buy or even Hankook Ventus tires?
My last set of Cooper Cobras I bought in 2006 were made in the USA but, I need to replace them so they are getting hard and past time to replace them. I'm mainly a cruising or highway driving type guy. I also saw that the BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires are made in Mexico as well plus even if they are made in the USA I don't think the rubber is the same quality due to more recent regulations regarding rubber. Also, seems like most 15" tires are made overseas rather it be Mexico, Taiwan, or India.

It might also trigger a bad faith escape clause.

I wonder how 296/60R15 would look on 15X8 wheels on mycharger? Back when I had the bee I think I was running either 265 or 275's on 8" rims. I was using the nascar yellow tires on steel painted rims with dog dishes. the fronts would rub in tight corners sometimes but I loved the look. There is lots of room in the back for a wide tire.
