I priced a new set on Yokohamas from Sears, lower than any other source available.

After a hard track run I checked tire pressures and scanned each tire across its width with a pyrometer for temp variations and temps were constant across the treads on all four tires and tire pressure was stable. Not bad for an inexpensive, good mileage tire.

Goodyears squeal like a little girl? If you spun them in a straight line they squealed. However in corners mine would just break loose without any warning. That is what I hated about them.

I now have the Goodyear billboards and love them. They let you know when you are getting to the limit, and the limit is much higher than the GT II's.
