Tires Goodyear or GISLAVED

Goodyear was selling the "Support Our Troops" tires from Charlotte at the june michigan race last year for $20.

R Wagon, studded 17" Good Year Ultra Grip Ice Arctic. I'll say no more..

Had gislavid nordfrost's on my golf wagon tdi. Would highly recommend these tires. Northern Ontario highway driving, these tires were amazing on ice and hard packed snow, made the wagon feel like it was all wheel drive.

I put on a set of Eagle Sport all-seasons about 10K miles ago and I like them. They grip well and road noise has been non-existent. But they do maintain their grip on wet roads.

I had Eagle F1s on my RSX after having a set of Nitto summer tires. I have to say, I loved them. Grippy, and handled minor inclimate weather way better than the Nittos.

I had Yoko yk580's on these wheels and when I changed to goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric all seasons (pretty light tires) that made a huge difference!!!

I am running Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 2 on 2011 CC

I worked at Goodyear for 3 years and you are partially correct. Their quality isn't bad across the board, it is just not consistent. Some are great and last way longer than they should while others are just junk. I had 2 Ultra Grip Winters blow out on me a few hours apart (2 days after they were mounted).

Reviews for that tire at TireRack aren't exactly stellar. Great tire in the rain, in fact VERY high traction in wet conditions. Almost to the point that it's a technological marvel. But...it gives up so much in the dry that it feels like a sloppy truck truck tire with 10psi. It corners terribly in the dry, the steering response is horrible and wanders all over the road.

Do it!!! I hate all the crap that my Eagle F1DSG3 spit up... god i hate those tires... if i didnt get em for free...
