So far so good on the Goodyears. I only have a few hundred miles on them but like the performance so far. It is hard to compare as the car is rarely driven hard (I have a 9-5 Aero for that) and they are 215/45-17s which replaced the 205/55-16 inch all seasons that came with the car, so virtually anything would improve the handling. Besides that a steering rack brace went on at about the same time, further clouding the issue. (I. e. the car tracks straighter, is that the tires or the steering rack brace?). Tirerack rates them fairly high too, not quite up with S-03 pole positions in the dry but slight higher in the wet. I opted for them because of the slightly higher wear rating, slightly lower cost and wet performance.
The frustrating thing so far is that between the new tires and wheels (the double 3 spoke that were optional on '03 convertibles and are currently optional on some 9-5s, not the EVOs), I have gotten three comments on the tires (because of the radical tread pattern) and none on the wheels.
