My Vibe came with Goodyear RSA, and I had these tires before and was not impressed with them. I never rotated them and the front tires are worn after 7,000 miles. I ran winter tires for the last few months and now looking to replace the 2 worn tires. I plan on putting my 2 good Goodyears on the front this summer then replacing them next spring. Any ideas on a good all season type tire for dry pavement and rain? I do not need snow, i have winter tires. On my other car i have BFG Traction T/A and I like them. How about the GoodYear tripple tread? any other thoughts? Thanks.

The Goodyear Tripletread is the top rated all-season tire, I think Michelin Hydroedge was second. If your not looking for anything special performance wise, they are both good choices.
I have no real world experience with these tires, just past experience with other Goodyear tires.IMHO the Goodyear 'Tripletred' is overpriced at MSRP of US$147.95 per tire, because it offers slighty better dry, wet, and snow traction (10 of 10 vs 9 of 10).The Assurance ComforTred at MSRP of US$130.95 has the same 80,000 mile warranty, slightly better ride comfort and slightly less noise 10 of 10 vs 9 of 10) for about $17.00 per tire less.Best of luck!
My 2003 Vibe Base Auto 2-tone Salsa "SalsaWagon" was built in May 2002. I acquired it in Feb 2004/Traded it in on a 2016 Honda HR-V in Feb 2018.
I think Im going to go with the BFG Tractions since I have liked them on my other car.
