I'll second this one. I'm about 27,000 miles into my set of four brand new Goodyears and in the same boat as Kaz. I lost one set of rears to cupping, Goodyear gave me 50% off a new set but I still feel a little screwed by it given how many problems others have reported with cupping.

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.

No like... I went back to the retailer and called Good Year too... and like... they knew their tires like sucked and like... gave me new Good Year tires in exchange for my bad ones... and like... so all I had to pay for was like mounting and balancing... like.

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.

well **** my life, sorry about the spelling
i called goodyear today, they made some kid of file for me and i need to go to the goodyear store around my house, get the tires inspected, and go from there

I had F1's on my Grand Am many years ago and then moved to Ultra HPs.... worst move ever... the F1's were great in the dry weather

I now have the new Eagle GTs and they're amazing!!!!!!!
