Goodyear Excellence

$250.00 Released January, 2010

The Pros:Drive comfort (when seated properly) is relatively good - pacing is steady and even with minimal squalling on sharper turns. Excellent option for smooth, urban driving - likely to provide 15,000+ miles of use on well-kept roads with minimal wear and tear. Deep treads provide considerable traction - handles safely on wet/slippery roads for improved driver safety.

The Cons:Unit seems relatively weak - occasional bump/pothole encounters will quickly bubble and separate the tire, requiring replacement with less than 500 miles of use. Seemingly prone to excessive noise/vibration - ease of misalignment causes a generally uncomfortable ride. Vulnerable nature may cause serious vehicular damage - some users report irreversible rim damage costing thousands of dollars to replace.

Goodyear's Excellence tire is an original equipment model typically found on European performance sedans or sports cars. It offers a mix of decent speed rating, comfort and handling. It is very quiet and provides a comfortable ride while offering an overlay central tread pattern that gives good traction in dry conditions and good braking safety in wet conditions.

Generally overpriced for the build quality and lifespan - much more reliable units from Michelin and Bridgestone are available at a similar price point
