Think what you will. This is my second set, and the first lasted long enough and smooth enough that I paid for a second set. If you think Goodyear will risk their name and reputation like Firestone did, and compromise safety, I think your sadly mistaken.

I forgot to mention the zero snow traction part. They do run nicely on dry roads and don’t seem to hurt the fuel economy.
