Re: Goodyear Eagle GT's

Personally (and i know kracka and mattd will disagree) I have used and LOVE BFGoodrich KDW2s. They perform and last better than any tire i have tried. I feel they are a good all around tire (and they are only about $120 a peice)

I appreciate your opinion, however, I have run a a set of BFG Traction T/A's on two different cars (I bought one set, the other came with the car)
and they sucked so bad I don't think I can ever give them my business again

For being a summer-only tire their performance isn't that great for that price, I don't see the point of a 300 treadwear tire that isn't used all year round.

The Sumitomo HTR Z III's have a treadwear of 300. They're the best "Max Performance" tire you can buy; not as sticky as the Z1 Star Spec or Kumho XS, but I'll trade that for longer wear and better wet traction (not to mention much lower price) since they're on my daily-driver.
