Improve the Goodyear Billboards

[Cobrafan1]

For the last several months I have been in touch with Greg Stucker the head of marketing and sales for Goodyears race tire division. I have discussed with him if its possible to "improve" the Billboards. Issues such as leaking air, flat spotting, cracking, tram lining, etc. He seemed open to the idea. Previous to this I had spoken to Chris Maletti who is no longer with Goodyear. He was very enthusiastic and said Goodyear had a new compound that would be perfect. I have also discussed this issue with Roger Kraus and the folks at Shelby. Both felt the billboards should/could be completely redesigned so as to better compete with the Avon's. They even want it to be DOT legal! Shelby stated that the were willing to buy several thousand tires if Goodyear would do this but they were pessimistic. Last I spoke to Greg he said Goodyear was revamping there vintage line. He said he would see he could do.

Since then I have not heard from him. I feel if enough people call then it will move him/Goodyear to act. The billboards look GREAT but lets face it, they have issues. If Goodyear can fix these issues it will be a win/win for everyone...
