all season tire?

[spoolin_05]

so it looks like the best strategy is to run summer tires untill you get to winter, but you dont want to switch too early because of the wear of dry driving and hard breaking on the winter tires not to mention the tire noise. Honestly i think im going to go with a good all-season for my FD rims and put a nice set of summers on the "pretty" rims...

I just ordered some 224/45/R18 Goodyear Eagle GTs. I feel confident after reading everything I could find on TireRack and here that I made a solid choice. (And I was told the 225s would fit fine.)

I have my Eagle GT's on for approx. 700 miles now. While they appear to have a slightly rougher ride. There grip around a tight turn appears to be as good or better then the OEM tire. They definitely grip the ground better in the rain and brake fine as well. I look forward to the snow and hope I find them as good as SpeedMe did in a snow storm. I will keep you posted.

I just ordered my Eagle GT's today. They arrive Tuesday at discount tire. I wanted a tire that has better wear over stock but performs same if not better in some areas and the GT's fit that bill. I live in Wa so we get tons of rain and could be another bad winter here. So I will post and let ppl know how they do when I get them.......



and I have 71,000+ miles

Erectile dysfunction is the medical condition that concerns the sexual performance of a man. If someone has jjdudkk erectile dysfunction, he said to be impotent. Being impotent, a person is unable to maintain a firm erection during sexual intercourse. Some people think that erectile dysfunction is something very shameful, that 淘宝网女装 even they cannot tell their doctors about it. Many men, who measure their character with their ability in bed, feel that having erectile dysfunction lessens their manliness. To solve this problem, there have been new treatments for erectile dysfunction that are out in the market.Men who suffer from this condition can share experiences where the problems created were not only physical but also emotional and psychological. Those who have experienced impotence can attest that even their social or married lives suffered with such condition. Many of them lost their self-esteem and self-confidence. Some 淘宝网包包 even suffered extreme depression and avoidance of the opposite sex. Also, men who suffer from impotence tend to hide it and not talk about it, so the problem is not medically consulted and remains unresolved.

Dang, that must suck for those guys.

I got my Eagle GT's on two days ago and it has been raining non-stop. I must say I am really pleased with the tires and I like the way they fill out the wheel wells better than the OEM tires. The 225's seem to be just the right fit... Not to much like 235s, and not too skinny like the 215s.

They ride a little rougher than the Bridgestone's but these were well worth it. BTW... they were $60 cheaper (each) than buying them were I had them installed. (Mr. Tire.)

Well got my tires today, took a little longer for them to get in, but oh well. They seem to be pretty good now, little slip if any while going through the gears, they take corners pretty good and are not noisy at all. Mine are 215/45/R18.

Let me know if any one local needs some tires. I have 2 of the original Bridgestones Potenza about 75-80% tread left and 2 Brigestone Blizzaks 215/45/r18 with about 85-90% tread left. Im a sucker for not rotating tires.......but i know i should......

AVID W4S 225/45R18
Price: $139.00 (each)
I currently have 36K miles on them , commuted through 104" of snow last winter in my 08 MS3 and still have 30% life left in them for this winter with no issues.
Car handles great ( can pull away from a nicely moded S2000 on our long sweeping on ramps) with confidance and run the 1/4 mile faster than the stockers 13.52 106 and they have handled the rain very well in the rutted interstats roads and I have hit a number of giant pot holes here in Wisconsin with no damage to tire or wheel.

No rub at all. There is plenty of room in there... I've turned the wheel all the way and there is nothing. I suppose if I was turning hard and I hit a massive bump (again...there is a lot of room still) they might rub for an instant. I am not worried about it at all.

Might be a little late to the party, but I figured since I have experience with the tire in question in the OP, I'd throw in.

I just recently had a set of Eagle GT 215/45/17's mounted on my wifes' Cooper S. I'd have loved to have gone with a dedicated summer tire, but we were in a pinch because I blew up a tire doing a burnout in the walmart parking lot, and she needed to get to work. It was fun though.

That being said.... I dig the tire. It feels pretty good for an a/s tire... and didn't seem to negatively affect the handling on the car. I had runflats on it previously (stupid germans not giving me a damn spare...) and it took a little getting used to in that car, having more sidewall rollover than previous, but the definitely stick pretty well. I'm anxious to see what they'll be able to do in the winter, as that little bugger was a TANK on the old tires, and these are far better than what was on it previously (205/45/17 RSA EMT for those interested).
