Replaced just the one blown tire as an experiment, yep it’s a lot quieter than the 3 OE tires which only have 2000 miles. I’ll do the other rear now, but considering to do different tires completely on the fronts if better handling can be had. Mostly I’m wanting crisp turn in and minimal tramlining with all season capability on the fronts. Which maybe the Goodyear Eagle Exhillirate tires already are?

I like the pavement feel through the steering wheel and driver seat of the S001L tires but that’s about it. Weird turn in feel, coarse road noise, bit harsh over bumps, tram lines at 2,000 miles.

Also can we agree “Exhilarate” is a really stupid name for an Eagle tier tire?
