Anyone with GOODYEAR EAGLE GT (Tires)
Looking into getting a set of All Season GOODYEAR EAGLE GT tires for my IS 350 and was just wondering if anyone had these or has had them before?
They are relatively cheap, in fact the cheapest I can find for a staggered OEM sized setup @ $546 shipped for all 4...
All opinions welcome...
THANKS!

So, about 2 years, 6 months & 26,200 Miles later, these tires are ready to be replaced.
Not bad considering I am lowered on TEIN S-TECH springs, and the inner edges of the front tires prematurely wore out. I believe I could have made it to around 30k miles on the tires without the fronts edges wearing out.

So, I've now had these tires for 4 months or so, and have been happy with them overall.
Yesterday, we (Denver CO.) got our first snow of the year... 3 degrees, hard packed snow & black ice all over town, & I am pleased to report that these all season tires are great in the snow.
I cant even believe how well I am able to take off, stop & turn.
Mind you I was driving on the stock Dunlop Summer Performance tires for the last 2 years and needless to say they freeze @ very low temperatures, and about 3 times a year I could not fully get off my driveway onto the street.
Anyway, Just wanted to update my experience with these for anyone who might be interested in them.

Well, I was talked out of the GTs and into the Goodyear F1 A/S by America's Tire. The F1s are wearing really well, but they are pretty noisy - not so much at highway speed. But, you can really hear them at low speed (like slowing to a stop). The GTs were still pretty new when I bought mine, so no one knew much about them. Next time, I'll probably try the GTs.

Those look good, however I'm trying to stay away from Summer tires to have a better chance in the snow.

umm... your in denver right? dont you get alot of snow? im no expert but lots of guys here say get dedicated winter tires (like blizzaks) for winter and not all seasons if you drive a 350. Better safe(r) than sorry right?

I looked at these and went with the Eagle F1 A/S.
No issues with the F1's for me at 10K. Plowed through last winter with no issues, 3-4 inches at most. Crossing finger this year, since our new home has a very step driveway.

When it does snow here in the city, its typically only on the roads for less then 24 hours...
I personally cant justify $800+ worth of rubber for the 7-10 days a year the snow actually sticks to the roads and makes it impossible to drive the 350 with summer performance tires.
Also, temperature plays a huge factor, I'm able to drive in the snow with the stock Dunlop (summer tires) as long as the temperatures don't go below 10 degrees... Anything 10 degrees and below (it seems) the tire compound literally freezes into something like hard plastic...
