Remember to put a good 100 miles on em to wear off the excess oils and solvents from the molding process before you have maximum grip - sometimes slippy at first

Too bad you can't fax the Goodyears back to GM & Goodyear and ask "what were you thinking" ??!!!

They make some great tires. Worth the expense. Glad you're happy.

I have runflat goodyear eagles that came on the car when I bought it.
I'll be going with Michelin run flats when I need new ones. Not happy with Goodyears at all.

I'm almost to the point of needed new tires on my GS.

Are your new tires LOTS quieter than the old GY's? My GY's are SOOOO noisy.

I managed to get 11,600 miles out of my OEM GY's.....

Couldn't wait to switch to Mich PS2 ZP's! It's like driving a brand new Vette!!!

Your vette looks great. A 427 c.f. high rise hood and supercharger on your mod list?
