Default Blew a tire, replacing rear tires with...

Blew a rear tire on my drive down the mountain yesterday. Needed new rear tires anyway. They're bald as racing slicks!


Upon reading customer reviews and various independent comparisons, I decided to try the Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate all season ultra high performance tire. This real-world comparison performed by tire-rack looks very promising, particularly after reviewing the result charts page.

I blew a front tire last Friday and am putting all seasons on it now. I got the Bridgestone Potenzas. Didn't see the Goodyears you mention. You sure they fit?

I drive over a mountain range daily on my commute to the white sands missile range. The mountain pass can get some weather in winter months, and even in town down in the valley, morning temps in winter can be below 30°F. I also drive this car to northern Colorado, New Orleans, really all over. I like the results of the wet performance on this tire. This will be my first time using this tire though, so I'll play with it and see how I like it.

Yes, they were available in the correct size. Discount Tire and TireRack have them for $235 per (rear).
