Probably not. I'm real happy with them, and the GSD3's continue to get top all-around ranking in most of the tire comparo's out there. Plus tirerack has a free $40 cash card offer on the Goodyears until the end of this month . . . so I'm gonna try and take advantage of that.

I hear ya, well, hey when you find something you love, stick with it, right?
For anyone interested, the actual weight of one of these unmounted tires is 20.8 pounds. A little higher than their advertised weight of 20.35 pounds . . .
And I'll save one of the old ones tomorrow & weigh it as well - see what the difference the worn tread makes. Just because I can.

Eh, treadwear ratings are utterly useless. You're not gonna find any ultra-high performance tire that last longer than about 25k, no matter what the treadwear number happens to be.
My favorite example is the old Yokohama A520's vs. the Bridgestone RE730's . . . Yoko's had a treadwear rating of 120, and the Bridgestone's were rated at like 300+. Both tires lasted 20-25k, just like every other tire in their class.
But for the most part, yes - even wear. But I had a total crap alignment for the last 10k miles or so, which chewed up the inside edges of a couple of 'em. Also found out today I've got a bad right rear wheel bearing, and a radius arm ball-joint on the front left that's got some give in it . . . and neither of those are friendly to tires.

My toyo T1-S lasted me a YEAR. But that year was 22,000 miles of hard driving, with the wear right flush with the wear marker. Treadwear rating for those tires are 280. So almost the same...
