550, when I was looking for tires I found a good comparison and customer feedback on www.tirerack.com ( I hope it's ok to post links, sorry Bruce if not). Anyhow, one of the products was a goodyear tire and it got decent reviews, good luck with the decision.

I hate Goodyear Tires. I show some of my cars and am required to keep them because they were original equipment and a tire change would cost me points. Otherwise I'd tear them off and burn them!

Whew, I feel much better now. Sorry.

I'm partial to Michelin and Yokohama.

I have Eagle F1 GS-D3 tires and I like them. $800 installed for 4. I've only had them for a couple months so I can't say anything about how long the last or how they wear. They're fantastic in the rian and they're better than the pirellis on dry pavement. They're quieter too.

Hi,

@550, the Goodyear F1's are excellent Tires. Some people just like to p*ss in others Kix, so I wouldn'y pay much heed to that. Goodyears weren't always the best value in Tires, but I think as others have gotten much more expensive, this isn't so true as it once was...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Yeah, that's what it is. It's not that they're loud, and while dry traction is excellent, wet traction is downright dangerous. It's not that the ride is unecessarily rough and unpleasant as compared to the others I mentioned. It's just that I wanted to piss off the omnipotent one.
