Default Tire Question

My 96' has Goodyear HP's on the rear. I need to replace the front original GS-C's soon. Anyone using the HP's? Comments?

Thanx

Thanx
I switched from Goodyear Eagle GS-Cs to Goodyear Eagle F1-DS-G3s. In my opinion these are an exceptional improvement over the GS-Cs. Quiet, extremely sticky and they turn wet roads into dry one's. Living in Fl we have lots of rain, and I've never had a tire that handles like these on wet roads. I just passed 19K on this set and will probably be ready for another set at 24K, by the wear at this point.
