    I've bought tires from a local Goodyear dealer. I wouldn't say I have a relationship with them. They would not remember me if I came in. And they expunge their buyer database periodically - I called them to ask for the mileage on the car when I had bought the tires but they didn't have that info anymore.

    Goodyear branded dealers are independent shops which franchise the name, as I understand. Just Tires are Goodyear owned tire shops.

    I prefer America’s Tire, Discount Tire in other states. Locate your local dealer at http://www.tires.com. Currently have a Black Friday promotion of 10%, or 20% if you apply for a Synchrony Credit Card. This is in the form of a prepaid CC.

    For next time: hang on to all the documentation from the tire purchase, and make sure the car's mileage was noted.

    For me that's a fool's errand though, because:

    1. I use snow tires 35~40% of the year.
    2. We're driving under 10K kms per year.

    So, what tires did you end up buying? I am in a similar situation to you. Hilly, curvy roads where you have to slalom through the potholes. Snow in winter, but driving in the rain has been my concern with my current tires Somotumo tires. Thanks

    Thanks for the tips. I was considering the Conti Pure Contact 98V also. I think I'll go with it.
