From my perspective it may be a little early to run up the victory flag quite yet. It is a small step in the right direction but there are a number of issues to consider and it all comes down to money. First off, you need to check your owners manual and see what category your pro-rate tire adjustment falls into. You must also be aware that the adjustment will ALWAYS be against the inflated LIST PRICE of the tires, a price most people don't pay when making a purchase. Usually, the remaining tread wear is the basis used for the pro-rated adjustment. And, you need to make sure that when the adjustment is made and before you agree to it, the adjustment is based on the calculated remaining tread wear on the tires WHEN YOU FIRST BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALER WITH THE DEFECTIVE TIRE COMPLAINT. NOT THE REMAINING TREAD DEPTH NOW ON THE TIRES. You do need proof such as the service record receipt. Don't forget you will have to pay for the mounting and balance of the new tires and possibly a little more. The tires will be adjusted with the assumption that you will get the same poor quality Goodyear tires that are now on the car that have failed, possibly tread separation. Goodyear tires have a history of such failures and look to be in the same situation in about another year if you replace them with original equipment Goodyear tires. If I were you, I'd check the price of better tires from a discount retailer such as COSTCO and then compare the dealer entire pro-rated adjustment cost to you before making a final decision as to the best course of action to take. Good luck.
