My Goodyear Wrangle Denali tire suddenly developed a radial pull. The tires have 30,000 miles on them, and it just developed this nasty pull. I isolated the pull down to 1 tire. This happened shortly after I rotated them. And I do rotate my tires regulary.

 

Something definately must have shifted within the tire. Is it still safe?

The truck drives fine with the tire located on the rear. With the tire on the front, the pull is dramatic.

 

3 years, 30000 miles I can't see goodyear replacing 1 tire. AWD means I would have to replace all 4.

 

Can I just keep using it in the rear?

 

It's the factory 17" Denali tire.

30k on tires and they develop a wear problem? Easy: REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES. Even extremely nicely driven for 30 thousand miles, they have to be worn well past 50 percent, don't take a chance..just spend the money and get new tires. you have gotten your moneys worth out of the set you are on right now.

Count yourself lucky if you can isolate this and identify one tire. Chased the same thing on a '95 Dodge Dakota with factory Goodyears. The truck pulled to the right slightly from day-one. Dealer rotated/checked the tires & alignment twice under warranty and simply could not fix the pull to the right. Eventually (45K miles later) wore these tires out and replaced them with Uniroyals which fixed the problem, immediately without any other action. The tire dealer even checked the alignment with the new tires and found it within spec.

 

I have received Goodyears on almost every new car, all have been mediocre at best. Fix the problem for good, get rid of the Goodyears. With this new truck, had I know it was coming on Goodyears I would have ordered the 18 inch wheels simply to get the Bridgestones.

good years are indeed junk.. That is the 2nd wrangler that "went bad". The first one developed a nasty shimmy after 25K miles, and I had to put it in the back.

now this radial pull, another tire that must go to the rear...

 

can't wait to put my snow tires on, and get rid of these junk-years.
