Goodyear Eagle GT

Anyone has any experience with these tires on a 06 6MT TL? They seem to have very good reviews.

I have them on my 05 AT TL had them for atleast 6 months. I have driven them in snow and rain, way better them OEM Tires. I was impressed how it handle in snow plaster highway but i was only going 40mph but didnt slip. The tread pattern adds a nice appearance too.

I would recommend.

Look into GT Radial CHAMPIRO 328. I got a set of 245/40/18 for my aftermarket wheels about a week ago, and they are honestly great.

I have about 500 miles with the GTs on my 06 MT. They just had a price drop at Discount so I picked them up. They ride really nice and grip the road nicely. As previously mentioned the tread pattern is really cool. A lil bit louder than stock but that's not an issue for me. I would highly recommended them especially for the price.

Compared to the Michelins, these are somewhat noisy. Not real bad but the tire pattern is more aggressive so it is to be expected. On the plus side, they are a goodlooking tire.

If you feel any vibration go back to the tire store. I recently purcased them and after 2 days took them back because I felt vibration in the front. Turns out all 4 were out of round (flat spots). Too bad because they looked great. Changed to Bridgestones.

Got them installed 2 days ago. About 120 miles so far. They're much smoother riding than my F1 A/S ever were. I no longer have vibration in the steering wheel that plagued the F1 A/S's. Not that I notice yet at least. As far as ride comfort, they're smoother over bumps at 38 PSI than the F1's. Road noise is decent but then again, I was riding on bad F1's that became horribly noisy which I returned. Although I had been riding on the stock pretty 30% tread Michelin Pilot HX factory tires for the last week or so. They're about the same road noise which is audible but barely at this point.

RoadForce readings from the GSP9700 Balancer is 1lb, 22lbs, 23lbs, and 24lbs. The 24lb one was Force-matched from an initial reading of 35lbs. I'll give an update when I put more mileage on them...
