Try Michelin or Bridgestone. I currently have Bridgestone RE960 tires and they grip pretty well. I don't break loose until 5000 rpm. Also, Michelin never has any of these quality control issues. Even the harder compound freeway tires mount perfectly without much balancing.

Geesh, how is it possible to pop all 4 tires without intervention from a foreign object (slew of spikes or nails? ). When you replaced them at the Goodyear shop did you by the identical tire model? Hopefully not because they sound horribly unsafe, they weren't properly installed or you've got an amazing case of bad luck. I hope you stay safe but I wouldn't risk it and just buy a new set from a completely different brand.

bad luck

I don't know what itype of luck I have now I'm trying to change the tire and it appears as if they didn't use the torque wrench to ighten the bolts they used an air gun to tighten them......

When push only thing that happens is the car moves instead of the bolt y couldn't this b a routine flat tire

Michelins for your regular tire people, their the best out there for non performance but high life and huge reliability, 90% of your owner/operator truckers run michelins what does that tell you?

On the other hand i love my yoko's

It's statistically, and for all practical reason, impossible to blow all 4 tires at the same time. I'd be going to a different shop, checking my specs on rubber vs car/wheels, and looking behind my back wondering if someone has it in for me. I can see a random tire failure, or a bad lot of tires, but, get real. Goodyear is one of the largest tire makers in the world. they may not make the best compound depending on your application, but even no-name costco tires wouldn't do that. I think someone's jacking with you.

Yeah I had tires put on by discount tires just a few months ago. Two tires were filled to like 45 psi and the other two were filled to like 25 psi...
they don't even check
they just squirt air in them till they look like they are filled right. You have to check that crap.

Michelins are great if you like tires that lose air quickly.
