IMO....Goodyear LS tires have terrible wear and adequate dry/wet traction. They were OEM on my 2000 Regal GS and had to be replaced at 23,000 miles (3 1/2 years). If these have the Eagle brand, then the tires are usually more performance oriented. But if it is the regular LS brand, buy something else. Safety comes at a price.

I checked at my Walmart and they have 8 of one size and 12 of another. Five customers and there will be no tires, not good odds standing in a black friday line.

360 wear and three stars at TireRack. Think I'll stay with BFG/Michelins

In the old days when I purchased a NEW car if it had Goodyear tires on it I would drive it directly to the tire dealer and trade them in on Michelin's. Do not know if that can be done today?

I just replaced 2 Goodyear Eagle LS tires on my Dodge Durango pickup at 53000 mile. All 4 appeared to be a little less than half worn out. The front end was out of alignment and wore the front tires on the outside edge is the reason for replacing them. I expect to get 65-70k on the rear before replacing them. Keeping proper air pressure in the tires has a lot to do with how log they last. I'm fanatical about checking the tire pressure.

The only drawback I see to the Goodyear Eagle LS is the cost of the tires. Locally for size 255-65-16" they wanted $257 each including mounting & tax. I got them from Tirerack.com. Total cost per tire was $210 shipped and then I paid $12 locally for mounting & balancing for a total of $222. If I needed all four I would have probably bought something else because of the high cost of the Goodyear's.
