OEM tires

[bmartinez028]

Does anyone have experience with both the oem 17” Goodyear Eagles and Hankooks? Look for opinions on ride quality, etc between the two. We have two SEs and one of them came with the Goodyears. The other (mine) came with Pirellis(not a fan) and I switched over to the Goodyears after liking them on the first car. Since then I’ve had nothing but issues(tire pull, vibration) that hasn’t been sorted. Also seems like all the available stock for the Goodyears has manufactured dates as far back as 2021. Trying to decide whether to order two new Goodyears or just give up and get the Hankooks…

What was it about the Pirellis that disliked?

I would say that mine are wearing reasonably well (for a summer only tire, anyway), and they provided good grip when new. Downsides would be a bit of tire hum on really smooth roads at moderate speeds, and the fact that traction seems to have declined even though there's about 5 mm of tread to the wear marks still (at 22k miles). Unless something pops up to really change my mind, next spring I will likely just replace them with more P7s.
