Won the tire lotto!
Just notified that my worn out Goodyear Sillent Armor tires (LT275/70R18) with 45000 mile on them were just recalled. I just got in line for a new pair next week at no cost. I really love these tires but they were expensive, like $1200 for the 4. The next ones are free!

It looks like my size isn't listed. If I had a 245/75 instead of my 245/70 it would be covered. It was also produced a few months before the production start date of the recalled tires. There was a problem with one of my Goodyear Silent Armors separating early on that is exactly like the problem this recall is describing. The problem appears to be with the silent armor production technology and should not be recalled in such a narrow date range or size range. Please expand the recall to all sizes and a broader production date range.
Anyone else have a problem with Silent Armor?
