Just removed all four Goodyear Eagle F-1, looked great, good treadware, horrible ride. Replaced them with Goodrich G-Force KDWS, so far the ride is great, good in high speed cornering, also they used a road force balancing which places the weight of the car on the wheels whil balancing for a better ride.
Disclaimer I have always (17+years) ran Goodyear tires, just wanted something different this time and several forum members had Goodrich tires on their cars and apparently were happy. I need to give the Goodrich tires time to continue to impress me or send me back to Goodyear only time will tell.


Hope this helps

Default G-force

I'm running G-Force on my 94 LT1 Cpe and am VERY pleased with the performance. Sticky and quiet.

smooth ride, go for an all season tire, or a touring tire.

forget about the 'summer only' tires.
I'm pretty much done with summer only preformance tires.
got tired of the harsh ride,
hard rubber in the cold months, etc.
