Frank -

Have you done this? Will they fit? I think this is the most sensible solution, but two Goodyear dealers have peered into the wheel well and told me they won't fit. Experiences, please! If you've already told the story, please shoot me a link!

And yes, I seem to have more than my share of failures, but I also put more than my share of miles under the TM each year. I think the equation tracks correctly. More miles = more failures - but the failure rate is way too high.

And don't even suggest to my wife that we get the much-coveted 3326!

I always travel with 50 psi and at 60 mph....What is your pressure and speed?
I travel with 50 psi and 65 mph on Interstate-quality highways - slower on rougher roads, of course. I recently decided to experiment with higher tire pressure/same speed, as the Goodyear website suggests you can do. On these latest two failures, one tire was running about 52 psi, the other about 58 psi.

I'm stumped.
