If you can - skip them anyway and put the Bridgestones on. Much better IMHO

I was tempted to add the word "suck" as an addendum to this thread title :lol
size/ type??

When traveling in the rain the dynamics of all tires are different and Goodyear does a good job of quickly dispersing the water thus insuring good traction.

Who drives their FGT in the RAIN?
Certainly not special Ed. I have driven in the rain/hail a few times, but it is never a planned event. When doing so, I drive within the reduced performance envelope due to the conditions. I don't hate the GY nor do I love them. Given the HUGE price increase of the GY at Tirerack I will probably give another brand a go the next time around. The rear GYs cost almost as much as a Pirelli System Corsa which I have to believe would give much better grip than a GY under almost all dry conditions while still being usable in the wet.
I feel the need to chime in so that all of those with Goodyear tires do "not" get excited and panic.
IMO the Goodyear tire is a great tire; they wear well, ride well, work very well in the rain, perform well once warmed up on dry days, and handle road debris with no issues.
Now having shared this I must reiterate that on a dry day they "need" to be allowed to warm up or they can be less than friendly as such I share that the gals by design need to be warmed up methodically too so one happens with the other and then the resulting experience with them is just fine.

Agree--As with almost any car I have owned folks tend to dump on the OE tire--sometimes with reason most times not. I will likely replace mine at the appropariate time with B--stones but based on tires I have run on sports cars, the GY ain't bad.
Given the HUGE price increase of the GY at Tirerack...
