Get woke...go broke

Goodrich for the truck and Michelin for the car. Ran one set of Goodyear, and they sucked. Would buy Cooper before Goodyear, but I am not woke yet.

Glad I quit using them 10 years ago.

Not buying Goodyear, freaking idiots can't help themselves.

Good to know they are against the family unit and for abolishing police.

No kidding? I was just about to outfit my Wrangler with a set of all-terrains. Guess I'll keep shopping.

F

Pretty sure I just bought a set

Have to add Goodyear to the ever growing list of companies I won't buy from.

BF Goodrich AT KO are the only way to go.

BLM is not a political affiliated symbol or organization?!?!

Lolwut.

Let antifa buy their tires, only thing they buy from Chino's used tires.

Only tires that antifa knows about are the ones that run their ass over.

Pretty sure those aren't owned by Goodyear Tire & Rubber. May be franchised in someway but the company let go of those decades ago.

My dad retired from Goodyear, kind of sad., but he's too old to give a **** about company politics anymore as long as the pension checks keep coming.

Funny I was just looking at those and it is hard to argue with an ID grad.

My 2 cents (FWIW)

If BLM shirts are allowed, then Blue Lives Matter and All Lives Matter should be as well. To ban Blue Lives Matter shirts is a CLEAR implication that Cops and law enforcement officers are not worthy of respect. That is totally untrue and sends a very, very bad message - especially to folks in their teens and twenties.

All Lives Matter includes Latinos, Asians, Muslims, Pacific Islanders, and of course, Whites. Once again, the messages is that those individuals are not worthy of respect.

MAGA and political themed shirts - I agree. Politics doesn't belong in the work place IMO. It just causes unneeded tensions and conflicts and is not good for teamwork and productivity.

LGBT - I'm somewhat on the fence on this one, but leaning to not allowing it. My problem is it can sometimes turn into an "in your face" type of statement, which can once again, detract from teamwork and productivity. It really depends on the intent of the wearer. Is it to show pride or try and invoke an angry response from a coworker?

Back in my day "politics" was not a contact sport. Political disagreements were almost always handled in a polite and respectful way, not in an angry and confrontational way. "Angry and confrontational" is not good for a workforce's morale, teamwork, and productivity.

On a side note, in today's environment political disagreements can be very bad for family relations as well. I know that from experience. My wife and I have a lot of libs (the younger folks) in our extended family and a couple of very far right oldsters as well. My wife and I have been able to get agreement by all family members that politics will not be discussed at family gatherings. That policy is working just fine - so far.

Edit: Kudos to YouBet and LoneStarFree - the ones on the left damned sure ARE political causes. But just like Animal Farm - all Animals are equal, but some Animals are more equal than others.

Honestly I'm sure they'd prefer no political slogans of any kind

But you're not allowed to tell liberals they can't proselytize at work

Appears to be legit.

Unbelievable, talk about a stupid explanation of their thought process as to what's acceptable and what isn't.

Is this a big deal on a Wrangler 2Door?

Well was never particularly picky about which brand tire used, but this can narrow the list by one.

As it turns out, we need new tires on one of our vehicles. Goodyear will not be the brand.

So based on that statement "Latino Lives Matter" and "Asian Lives Matter", and "Irish Lives Matter" would be OK?

I'm going to guess at least one of those is acceptable, possibly two, but definitely not three.

I'm so tired of BLM.

Goodyear tires suck anyway. Worst tires I've ever bought and that was 10 years ago.

Too bad to because it has such a strong brand history.

Of the people who associate themselves between one of the two groups, who do these idiots think buys more tires. They just gave 95% of their consumers a pretty good reason to not buy their *****

I've had a couple sets of BFG KO2s and am not a fan. Poor traction on wet concrete and off road. They're also notorious for needing to be babied through the rotation process, or else they'll start to feather and become really loud.

There are a few on the auto board that agree. I've also started seeing more and more similar complaints on other forums.

My grandfather worked at Goodyear for decades. I'm glad he's not here to see this.
