So right now my fronts are about 27k old and the rears ~19k old. The fronts are about at wear bars, they were great tires but a little loud (I only ever noticed it with the radio off) and the wet traction went to hell fast.
Given the way I drive I've never expected my tires to last as long as the manfacturer claims they will, but the Goodyears seemed to go excessively quick IMHO.
My CTS came with Michelin Pilots on it and those tires have held up like champs. Not showing a lot of wear, very little road noise and they grip extremely well in all conditions (to be fair the AWD also helps here). I'm going over to Michelin when I redo my tires and give them a try.

UPDATE: Good Year is going to refund me 100% purchase price due to F1 A/S noise & cupping issues, on tires I bought almost a year ago. I'm a happy Discount Tire customer and I applaud Good Year for doing the right thing too. I'm having the Eagle GT all seasons installed this weekend.
like they sent you a money order or a credit card any more info would help becasue my f1`s are shot!!!
dude how did you pull that off?? was it like you just called goodyear and they know about the problems with these specific tires, and boom they gave you money to replace them

Sorry, I just had to bust your ***** on all the "like speak". It's one thing to say it but good Lord, don't type it too. Grammar matters and it's getting lost in America.
If you can go into the retailer who sold you your tires with some proof that you've done the research on the problem, they can't pretend there's no problem. Any sane retailer will go back to the manufacturer to resolve the issue, especially one like this with the F1 A/S. Just be sure you're armed with the facts and go into the store acting like a civilized adult to make your case. Explain the situation and ask them what they're going to do about the problem. Then be quiet... and wait for the guy to answer. First guy to talk loses.

oh you just wait the cupping on the rear tires is going to be so bad, and the noise from these tires are going to drive you insane!!!, drive for 5k and you will see that traction is fading, and the noise oh sweet baby jesus the noise!!!
i would never buy another goodyear product again

I took some pictures but won't be able to post until later as I am at work until 4. The snow is coming down hard. I've cleaned my car 3 times today and it's packed on real good again! Roads are real slush so at 4 I'm going to have a nice review started.
Any pics yet,and your review of the new GY Eagles GT's???
