The tire pressure light came on but upon Reset so far so good. The slightly larger size gives the car a nicer and quieter ride. Should also last longer due to greater load carrying capacity. The Goodyears were good for 28K miles. If it were summer I probably let them go till 30K.

Pros: nicer ride, quieter ride, longer lasting
Cons: tire pressure light
Mileage: 28000 km

Ended up with General ALTIMAX 365 AW. Wife wanted a solid ice/snow tire. Best rated tire for snow/ice . Fairly good for Ride quality and noise. Dry/wet driving is not rated as good as other two tires on this list.

Pros: Best rated for snow/ice
Cons: Dry/wet driving not good

GENERAL TIRE Tires

I'd recommend Generals. On the recommended by Consumer Reports list for winters and well placed in other tire testing, you can't go wrong with them. Less expensive than Michelin, Bridgestone, etc.

Pros: well placed in testing
Cons: less expensive

Been using this brand for over a decade.

Reasonably priced. Long lasting, good grip, a little louder than the comparable Michelin tire

Pros: long lasting, good grip
Cons: a little louder

GENERAL TIRE Tires

I have been buying General Altimax RT43 tires based on a recommendation a few years ago from Consumers Reports. It's a good balance between performance and cost.

Pros: good balance

I've had bad experiences with 2 out of 5 General Tire Exclaim UHP's I've bought. First tire had a terrible vibration from day 1. When the tire shop mounted my tires, they said one balanced fine, but may have a "hop" at highway speed. Well, the "hop" was very noticeable. When the wheel was on the back, the car shook so bad on the highway I literally could not drink coffee without spilling on myself. When the wheel was mounted on the front, the steering wheel would shake so bad my hands would go numb. I had this tire replaced under warranty and the car drove great. A couple weeks ago, after coming into town from a highway commute, I could hear a loud rhythmic humming at around 50 km/h. Tire shop again tried re-balancing this wheel with no improvement. Tire has hardly any wear and wheel itself looks to be in great condition. I didn't hit any rocks of potholes before this started. This is getting really annoying. I just want a reliable tire.

Cons: terrible vibration, car shook, steering wheel shake, loud rhythmic humming, unreliable
