I use Trojan rubbers, but it's up to you

gatherer, I don't remember having them in the rain, but I know I'm very much pleased overall!

Well I speak from no experience ....

I'm just repeating what was told to me quite a few autocrossers (read hada people) have told me they are not great in the rain and have made the switch to Eagle F1's

Great tire in the dry, but some people have complained about them in the wet. That's a good price you're getting. We sell them for the same price.

prolly.... that is a pretty normal size, most places that sell goodyear should have 'em.

good luck and enjoy!



(what do you do with 365 used rubbers? melt em down, make a tire, and call it a goodyear...............eagle f1 that is....lol)
