Quick answer

Second Letter - Reminder notice to Goodyear mileage customers. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is aware that certain B305/70R22.5 size Metro Miler tires manufactured week 2715 through week 5219 in the G152 design and the G652 design (the "subject tires") have experienced lower sidewall cracking. We have not had any reports of vehicle controllability issues or accidents. We have decided to conduct this proactive Customer Satisfaction campaign to exchange subject tires. The Goodyear Mileage Sales team will be contacting you to discuss this campaign in more detail and to answer any questions you may have about the implementation of inspection and exchange procedures appropriate for your operation.

What this bulletin may mean before buying

Treat this as service research, not a verdict on one car. Before you buy, compare this communication with official recall campaigns, model-level owner complaint patterns, and the exact vehicle’s VIN-decoded specifications. A bulletin can help you ask a seller or dealer sharper questions about software updates, known repairs, warranty extensions and service history.

Is a service bulletin the same as a recall?

No. A recall is a safety campaign with a required remedy for affected VINs. A service bulletin or manufacturer communication usually describes diagnostic, repair, software, warranty or service information.

How should a used-car buyer use this bulletin?

Use it as a research signal. Compare it with recalls, owner complaints, service records, a VIN report and an independent inspection before buying.

Check the exact VIN before you buy

Model-level pages show public safety patterns. A full VIN report helps confirm the exact vehicle, decoded specs, recall applicability and buyer checks.
