I might work for Goodyear next year for my co-op. What do you guys think of Goodyear entering the sport compact/import scene to compete with Yokohama, Pirelli, Kumho, etc? If I work there, I might talk to them about it and just be like theres this huge market that you really have no piece of but could very easily have a piece of. They probably won't listen to me, but hey it could be worth it if they did right? Just wondered what your opinions were. Not even sure if I'm going to work there, but I might.

Isn't Goodyear still picking their teeth from the deal with Ford to replace the Firestone's on the Explorer?

No, Goodyear is a huge part of NASCORE! I won't buy a goodyear tire. Overpriced tires is all they are.

Now why would I complain about that?

LOL! I'll try to find the pic if I can. All I can say is that its a HORRIBLE misinterpretation of the "import scene". Even more so that The Fast and The Furious series.

that would be cool. Their F1 Supercar tires are awesome.

Also, if you work for them tell them you have a local friend with a 300ZX that could use some new tires and would gladly help them out

they sponsor the hell camino that crashed into the wall at irwindale.. I'm sure most of you guys have seen it. he came to a little parking lot grind event here in houston that he was judging (only made a few runs) but he still brought a stack of like 12 or 16 brand new 17" good year's.
