Personally, I like the Goodyears as a great rain, and even snow, tire. I've been caught having to go over some 8,900' passes in a freak snowstorm with half worn Goodyears (>1" of snow covering the road), and they stayed the course for me. And, in major rainstorms travelling across the country, they've been a great rain tire, especially when the car starts hydroplaning a bit. As a general daily tire,, I'll take the Goodyears. For the track, they are slippery and don't have the grip of other tires available. Thus, on the track, I have been running Michelin Pilot Sport Cups, which can still be driven on the highways.
