Well, put the triple treads on today-- 4 tires plus install $500.74. I had an alignment done last week at my mechanics shop so I didnt need that, but install and balance were included in above price. First thing I thought was WOW harsh ride, but then I checked the pressure-- they had them at 35psi! So I backed it down to 30, manufactureres spec is 26 but I feel a little mushy at that low, plus treadwear will suffer. But at 30 they smoothed right out. they are still a bit harsher than my friends mxv4's, but what grip! It just happend to rain all day today so I went ahead and tested them out. Not a slip. I punched it from a stand-still and it felt like a dry launch! 75mph on the freeway in the rain and it felt like i was running dry on summer tires. in a word ,Outstanding. I would have liked to done more but time would not allow, so I will fill you in. I realize they are brand new, but if they keep up like this for 30,000 miles i will call it a bargain, not to mention if they even come CLOSE to the 80,000 warranty. Again, a bit harsher than Michies-but not but much smoother than the old turanzas I was running. even when they were new, adn noise was a non issue. they may get louder as they age, but at this rate they are fantastic. well done goodyear! if they made them in a v or Z rating I may never think of another tire for this car. will keep you informed as the miles roll by-- who know's, they may turn to crap in a week. but for now i am very happy.
thanks for all your input,
A.
