After 55,000 miles on the original Goodyear Eagles that came on the car.. I am WAY overdue a new set of shoes for Apollo! I am not buying them, so I really have no say on what type type get.. They ordered Goodyear Eagle GT's. Anyone have these? Do you like them? Though anything will be better than what I have now.. They will be going on a 2009 GT with the standard 18s..

I have them on my car now, I like them better than the stock tires, they seem to handle better, and are a little quieter than the factory, but I don`t think they are anything really special,but I do like the tread design though. [IMG][/IMG]

...looks like they're "uni-directional" tires, yes?

Is the dealership replacing the tires for you for free? I don't have experience with those Goodyear ones but I've recently replaced my tires with some Yokahama YK520's and they made the car more enjoyable to drive. So much quieter and quite a bit smoother and still grips pretty well.

My parents were buying them.. Thats why I had no say. They are on and ride is quite a bit better, a little quieter, but still not silent. They do have a wheel protector on them in case I rub against a curb .. They also have a nice looking tread.
