I am wondering if anyone has recently bought goodyear slicks?
I ran them until about 2002 when goodyear started making the tires in chile. The reliability went down the tubes. The compound was bad and I only got about 30 passes out of the last set I had on the car (in 2002).
I switched to Hoosier, which has been a great tire, but the "section" is too wide, causing me to run a smaller diameter and there is minor rubbing on occasion. Hoosier still does not make a taller tire with the section width I need.
Anyhow, I was hoping someone had recently bought a set of D1984 or similar (32x14x15). If so, could you check the sidewall and see if it still says made in Chile.
I heard a rumor that they stopped marking them as far as mfr location. I also heard that the yellow letters were USA and the white letters were chile..
Anyone heard similar or bought some lately??
Thanks in advance!
