Economical Performer
These tires are installed on a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix that has run Kelly Chargers and various Cooper tires, among others. My initial impression is that these tires perform almost as well as the Coopers I usually install, but require some break-in. The practical difference is that these tires would break loose about 7-8 mph below the Coopers on the same large loop highway exit at around 60-65 mph when the sensible speed would be about 45-50 mph. Beyond that, I was pleasantly surprised with the rest of the handling characteristics in comparison, especially given the price. The previous set of tires had a slow leak on 20 year old rims, but the install shop cleaned up the rims at my request and the GT Radials have not had any leak problems. THis is not my primary vehicle so I can't attest to treadwear. I am confident driving my kids on these tires.
