Used product for

Price Paid:  $14000.00 from Major car dealership

Year / Model Reviewed:
1996 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

Strengths:
Great traction in dry and wet,
Even wear,

Weaknesses:
Nothing really but if I had to pick one then it would be milage expectancy but considering they were on a hard driven sports car I really can't complain.

Summary:
The tire sizes used for the front were 245/50/16 and the rear tires were 255/50/16. When I First got the car it had a nice set of Goodyear Eagle Gt II's in the factory installed 235/55/16 size, Dry traction was good but when ever the roads were wet I had to drive about 10mph less then the posted speed limit because of severe hydroplaning that felt like I was driving on ice, After installing the comp ta's it was 110% difference in the way the car handled, I could go into tight curves gaining speed without squealing or any type of loss of traction, And I couldn't believe the difference in wet road handling even parking lots playing around I couldn't get the car to hydroplane, As far as wear the tires were on the car almost 4 years and were abused as often as possible, The car was driven like it was stolen as the saying goes.

Strengths:
Good in the wet, dry and snow. When the East Coast was blanketed in four (4'')foot of snow the car was driven home from NYC, without having to stop from lose of control. Except for one Trooper who asked where I thought I was going. I told him, HOME...........

Weaknesses:
They didn''t last long enough. I was looking for 125,000 miles or more. OH, Well!!!!!!!!!!

Summary:
225 50VR 16,have been on the rear of our Porsche for five (5) years. They have just worn out at over a 100,000 miles. Not bad tires. Most of the miles are around town and long distances up to two hundred miles on daily trips.

Strengths:
The price on this size 215-50-16 was a steal though (maybe now I know why). Decently quiet and appear to be long lasting. But that is almost too bad, I can''t wait to replace them with something else. Resistance to hydroplaning is not bad.

Weaknesses:
They definately are less grippy in the dry than the previous Dunlop D-60A2s that I had, and are not confidence-inspiring in wet either. Braking and acceleration grip are in my opinion terrible.

Summary:
I had heard some good things about this tire, but have been quite disappointed overall.
