In March this year I replaced my original tyres after 41,000 kms. My only issue with them was the tramlining effect on certain road surfaces.

The replacements were Goodyear 235/40R18 Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 95Y XL's that were purchased from a local Goodyear Franchise.
Price paid was $1010 for 4. There was a 4 for the price of 3 deal at the time.
They still look very new now even after around 9000 kms.
I wanted a tyre that was one of the latest & best that I thought was a reasonable price.
I was persuaded by a then current article of performance tests undertaken by a group of motoring journalists. They analysed both wet & dry performance as well as cornering.

My driving style is not aggressive except when I flatten the accelerator to overtake. (ie) From around 90 to 110 kph to 130-140 kph to minimise time in the righthand lane before returning to the speed limit.

Lets say that my choice of tyre has been vindicated as it has behaved perfectly in the wet & likewise at high speed cruising for 1000 km country trips on a variety of surfaces. And no tramlining at all.
