I first used Good Year tyres when they came as a OEM fitment in my 2002 Maruti Zen, the one that was fondly referred to for its Jelly-Bean shape. Ever since that time, I have been a loyal Good Year fan. Every car in my family has Good Years as their shoes. Though they lack utmost grip, the Good Year tyres are known for their durability. I have driven my second-gen Swift over very rough terrains in my hometown (Shillong) and the tyre is still holding strong even after covering over 36,800 kms. Of late, I am seeing some hikes in prices of Bridgestone tyres, though haven’t been able to check out other brands and can’t comment on whether this brand is the only one having this price hike.
