My Castle Rocks finally crapped out!

Well, after two years and about 10-12k, the factory Castle Rocks gave up the ship.

I have one that is bulging across the entire inside of the tread and another with a high spot.

Glad I noticed something fishy looking while parked at home. Last tow, all pressures and temps were spot on what they had been from new.

The date code puts them at the 3rd week of July 2015. I was hopeful to get the rest of this season on them but I'll be trying the new Goodyear Endurance beginning tomorrow.

Keep a watch on yours if you have them.

Bye Bye Castle Rocks

My Castle Rocks were also manufactured in July of 2015, however, they only have 3600 miles on them, including the drive from Indiana to the dealer. Even though they are showing no signs of defects, I decided to replace them. I also went with the Goodyear Endurance ordering them off the Goodyear.com website and had them delivered to a local tire shop. They were installed two days ago. Hope they perform.

Anyone want to buy 4 ST 225/75r15 Castle Rocks with only 3600 miles on them?

I put my original tires on Craig's list and sold them in about a week.
