   Since the dealership that sold me this Dak did so at invoice price (it's
great having your best friend be fleet manager) I'm not going to gripe at
them. I'm just going to buy a decent tire brand and put this back as the
spare. When the Eagles die; I'll get the other four matched (or close there
to) and not worry about it. I think I'll turn this tire into a planter or a
swing... best use for Goodyear's anyway. Can we stop the flame letters now?
Thanks.

Ask the dealer for an adjustment based on tire ware. If the tread is deeper
 then 90 percent then they should really give you a tire for free unless the
 car/tire hit something. This is a truck tire and in all 50 states you have a
 fitness of merchabtability law that says, essentially, that if you sell a
 truck tire it should be fit enough to withstand the "normal wear and tear" a
 truck tire will receive. Sidewall pinches should only occur on truck tires if
 they are underinflated. If they do not get your point ask for the district
 Goodyear Rep. inspect the tire and be sure to get his business card when you
 talk with him.
