Default Goodyear Eagle GT2 Tires 285/60/16

Anybody have these? I just bought a new set for 120 each which I think is a good deal. It will be a few weeks before my current tires need to be replaced though, so what do I have to look forward to? Do they hook up, wear good, wet traction? Any comments will be great. I know a few people on here used to have them.

I had them on my stock rims for about a year before I got the 20's. I like them a lot, big improvement over stock tires. One thing to watch real closely is the tire pressure, the tires will begin to wear un-evenly pretty fast even if you are a few PSI off. Overall they were great tires for me

Hey CashDude! I just put some 275/60R17's on the Escalade rims I bought a few months ago. They do have a little bit of road noise to them but it's not bad. Dry grip is good, a little harder to spin but I really noticed better wet traction. We had a freak thunder storm roll though here last Thursday and they gripped really well on the wet road, alot better than I was used to. So far, no complaints.
