For The Toad GOODyear A BAD idea?

I just cannot see paying a hundred twenty two dollars a tire for a piece of tin that weighs a whole 2,700 lbs. That and the days of trying to emulate Mario Andretti are long past.

WallyWorld has Goodyear tires at a price that is attractive. Reviews give me a headache. How does a person navigate their way through a galaxy of one and five star reviews.

Fact is, I don't trust the reviews

But I do trust you...

Please share. Thank you.

  • Not sure I can help much here MEX as I only buy expensive, high performance tires. Cars are my hobby and they only wear premium shoes. Those get all the R&D love and the latest tech. Even my former 1992 Nissan Sentra with 250,000 plus miles wore the latest Pirelli P Zero's. Tires are the onlynthings between your car and the road. Don't skimp. That said, I find that the best tires are the one's in highly competitive categories. Any really high performance will be excellent but have short life. A good compromise is the ulta high performance all-season. I like the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric all season and the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3.

    Where can I find those?
    I've been shopping for a week and nothing is close to that price that I have found for our HHR.

    215/50/17 is the size.

    OP, the best deals I have found is NTB as they are having a 'buy 3, get one free' sale on select brands right now until Aug 4.

    Afraid I can't help with the reviews as I feel the same way you do.

  • I would only buy top line Goodyear. If price is a big factor I would go with a different brand vs lower line GY. I will not buy a Firestone or Bridgestone(parent of Firestone) due to large recalls for defects. Michelin used to be great but seems to be dropping in quality.
