Discontinued 11R22.5 G164 Goodyear Tire
Posted by Ed from Baltimore, MD, US on June 17, 2009
.
One of my shops has been advised that the (11R/22.5 G164 GoodYear Tire) is no longer being produced by Goodyear, and that the replacement tire is the G622. Is this correct? If so, can the G164, and the G622 be mixed on the same axle, given that the tread depths are equal? When GoodYear discontinues a tire model, why do they not publish this information for their customers so that we don\’t have to scratch our heads and say what do we use now?
Yes, the G164 has been replaced by the G622. It is OK to mix them on an axle since they have the same tread depth and diameter. When we discontinue a tire, we advise our sales reps and dealer organization. It is then up to them to spread the word to our fleet customers. For customers doing business directly with our dealer organization, we have no way to notify you one-on-one. We do issue press releases that are published in major trade publications.
