I've read this opinion a lot - enough to scare me. I have a Prius with Goodyear Integrity tires and I have read bad things about them too but I never had any problems. I should probably have tires I trust on at least one of them.
They are, but I have read terrible things about the OEM's performance on wet roads and especially in any snow - even 2-3 inches, and we do regularly get more than that in Maryland.
Just bought my daughter a 2005 Mazda 3 that has the Goodyear Eagle tires. I am in Maryland - 70+ degrees today - but some snow will come. Should I get snow tires or a better set of all season that will perform better than the OEMs in snow? She will only be out in if snows when she is at school...
