How many guys run Bill Board Tires here or that you know. Who has had issues?

[601HP]

I installed the first set in about 2006. By 2012 the sidewall cracks were more than obvious. 85% of the original tread was still there, but those sidewalls were causing me concern.

I replaced the first set with another set of GY BB's in August 2012. These tires already exhibit small sidewall cracks.

I had this new set mounted in August 2012 and drove the car maybe 500 miles until dry docking it in early November 2012. I began driving it this year in May, and to date have driven approx. 1,200+ miles.


I won't keep this set on the car as long as the first set. This will probably be my last Goodyears. Avons are next on the list.

I posted the previous thread about my tires to just make everyone aware of an issue I have heard about more than once. I want to be clear that I was not bashing the GY BB's. We all love the look and I loved the way they performed when they were new.

I believe that they are a "purpose built" tire and not intended to be sitting around. I guess we all wish that GY would come up with a DOT version with more shelf life and the same look. But until then, the Avons get the nod.

Now, off to work on breaking the news to my dear and understanding wife!
