Searching Goodyear Eagle GT II tire information

[Silverback51]

The Avon tires from Roger are an option. And for a DOT rated tire in 15 inch, they are probably the best option. Spendy, but worth it.

The Goodyear GTII's are junk in my opinion. Hard and they give little if any warning when they are about to break loose in a corner. Dangerous in my opinion.

I'll be replacing all four tires on my SPF Cobra in the next couple weeks. The Eagle GT IIs on there now look the part, but are basically crap IMO.

I had posted a thread about 15-inch tires options which you might want to read.

In the end I've decided to go with the Cooper Cobras, which are basically the same as the M/T Sportsman S/Ts.

A lot of the responders to my thread prefer the Avons, but distribution and costs are much worse in Canada than in the U.S. so it would be a hassle and very expensive for me to go that route.

So ship them to my place, drive down for installation and smile at the border when you return.............

This is a fact. They will last 500000 (OK, 50K) miles but can't grip the road. When I first saw them on my car the thought of a M+S tire made me chuckle. I never got around to changing them to Billboards. The biggest problem is they are so hard and thus really suck at cold temps and on cold pavement.

For the GT I got Bridgestone RE050A (Scuderia). If you can find them in the right size they are a remarkable improvement. Sticky enough that they stay on the ground and also a lot better in colder temps.
