i'm on a world tour of tire manufacturers,original tires were U.S. Goodyear Eagle RS-A,pretty pleased with them,got 60k.current tires are Italian Pirelli P-Zero Nero,pretty pleased with them too,they ride very well considering i have 2 bent wheels and i got 50k out of them,new tires on the way from Discount Tire Direct (with new wheels!) Korean Kumho AST.the mileage are estimates,but the car has 112,xxx miles and the Goodyears and Pirellis are the only tires that have been on the car as i bought it with 8k miles.

 

My michellin pilot a/s sports are wearing pretty fast, but im at about 15k on them and still have some good tread left. Not to mention I race with them, etc. The grips amazing, I would suggest them. Not the best on ice, though.

 

I feel the B.F. Goodrich G-Force on my car get great traction and the wear does not seem to be excessive. On my second set and plan on the next set being the same. Why change a good thing.

 

I use to have GT II on my Suburban and they wore pretty quick mostly in the middle !

 

If they wear out in the middle, then they were over-inflated, if they wear out on the sides then they are under-inflated

I know the car specifies what it should be, but you do have to check your tires frequently and adjust as needed

 

If you are looking for a great all season performance tire, i definately reccommend BFGoodrich Advantage T/A. i have had them on my monte since last October, and ive put about 5000 miles on them. i know thats a rather minimal amount of mileage for judging wear...but im not exactly an easy driver > and there isnt a single sign of wear on them. the shoulder blocks are still smooth as silk, and they have all the tread on them as when i bought them.

as far as performance goes, they are HUGELY impressive with grip. it stays so planted, and they give great traction in rain and snow. i dont know of a better tire for the price. i bought them at my local Sears auto center for $110/tire.

 

My Dad went with a set from Continental. They have a 60k mile warranty and didn't break the bank.

 

Ahhhhh so you didn't take any of my recommendations haha. j/k hope he likes em.

 

Goodyear RSA are factory tires, GM buys a ton cheap. They are cheap tires. If you want a nice Goodyear tire buck up, I run the Goodyear Assurance Triple Tread on my Wifes car, and this January I put a set on the Monte Carlo. They have performed well for my Wife and so far I love them. They are amazing in Snow and Rain, easily handle dry driving and look cool.
I run Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S on the Trans Am and I will replace them for age well before they wear out, but then again they have been on the car since July of '08 and have 5K on them.
