You probably didn't have the bad Goodyear tires. Even with no front end issues and rotating them every 10,000 miles you would only get about 30,000 miles on them. They were just a crappy tire.
I've been selling and installing tires for over 45 years. I don't put anything but Michelin's on my own vehicles but they are pricey. Some customers just want cheap, cheap, cheap!
I hear the same thing from every customer, "I'm only going to keep it for another year" or "I just need it to pass inspection". Then 5 years later they are still bringing it in for repairs.
