Goodyear Tire Store-NO Service Hummer!

[PCBeach]

Got a screw in left rear. Went to a Goodyear Corporate owned store at 15th street, Panama City FL. Guy said "Corporate policy no Hummers, something about liability". Store had customers so I politely asked if they serviced corvettes. Yes they do. I then went 4 miles west(same rd) to an Independant owned Goodyear store on Tyndall Pkwy Parker FL. and received great service. Patched tire and I recalibrated pressure monitors.Anybody else run into this GOODYEAR NO HUMMER svc STUFF?

The guy is probably a tree hugger.

recalibrated tire pressure? how do you do this?

Hey Mark..if you rotate or put on new tires there is a procedure to calibrate the tire pressure sensor monitors at each wheel. Check out the owners manual.

Yes, I ran into a similar situation with a tire rotation. I usually buy the lifetime Balance and Rotate from Sears. When I went to get my tires rotated they said they did not work on Hummers.

Wow. work on Corvettes with runflat tires that require special equipment for safety, and not a Hummer tire which requires nothing special. Sounds like the guy had no idea what he was talking about, or afraid his hoist would not hold the weight.
All Corvettes have tire pressure sensors, and those low profile tires means you can easily crack a rim.
His store, he can do what he pleases. (Maybe he was a tree hugger in disguise?)

Resolved. I emailed Goodyear Corporate. They called and said Goodyear policy applied to H1(Size)and not H2 or H3. Local dealer apologizes for turning me away. As a stockholder I will go back and ask an executive to follow up on this communication failure.
