I'm at 21,000 miles now, and being my first car I forgot about tire rotations and thought I had to replace the tires already.. I'm going to get it rotated/balanced at America's Tire tomorrow so everything should be okay for now.

Anyways I was trying to scour up the best All-season performance/price tire. I see a lot of members praising the Sumitomo HTR+. I searched my hardest to find some member reviews for the Goodyear Eagle GT with no luck.

Based on TireRack.com's reviews, the Eagle GT has better ratings for most things just by a little. With that gain also comes with a slightly higher price.


Here's Tirerack's review links:
Sumitomo HTR+

Goodyear Eagle GT

I like the Dunlops that came with the Fit, I like my corners fast and they seem to handle well in my opinion. Both of these tires seem to be at the right price point, just wondering if there's any fitfreaks that have used Goodyear Eagle GT. And if there's anybody that would prefer one over the other. Or if they're both equal.

Any helpful replies appreciated Thanks!

 

the HTR+'s are quiet tires but not sure about exceptional grip.
ive had them on several of my cars in the past for quiet ride
but not so much for performance.

 

The advantage of the Goodyear would in the winter. The GT does have a 20.00 mail in rebate as well through 04/04. If I can help with the tires let me know.

 

If you've been pleased with the Dunlops that came stock on your Fit, I can't imagine you'd be disappointed with either of those two tires you're looking at. The Dunlops are marginal, at best, and plenty of modestly-priced tires are going to be an improvement. (IMHO)
