| Description of the problem | We purchased a 2004 toyota camry le and live in syracuse, ny. We receive about 190" of snow per year and they put goodyear integrity "all season" tires on this car. We have slid through several stop signs and intersections. These tires are touted as "all-season" but when we called goodyear they said that they weren't intended to be driven in the snow. When i asked her if winter was a season, she said yes but..... I asked how much snow can these tires drive through and still perform and she stated 2-4 inches is the norm. Bottom line... These tires are unsafe at best. They are dangerous. They don't even perform well in rain. If you have these tires, call and complain to goodyear immediately. They shouldn't be able to put these tires on anyone's car. Why even bother with abs and airbags if the tires can't stop the car? *nm |
