Goodyear Eagle NCT 5 Tyres

Down here in Australia, we don't really have a winter as most of you in the US know it, so Winter tyres (yes, spelt with a 'y') aren't really an issue.
I have recently bought a set of Goodyear Eagle NCT 5 tyres for my '99 2.3LPT 9-5, and I am in love. We have some pretty screwed up weather here in Melbourne (it is known as a city that has 4 seasons in one day), and I have never felt more secure in my car. Vs. the Michelin Pilot's that were on beforehand, My stopping distance, both wet and dry, feels halved. They grip incredibly well, and only when hitting peak power, going 'round a corner in 1st gear, can i get them to slip.
They have the lowest rolling-resistance of any tyre available in Australia (in 215/55R16 93V), and my average mileage has dropped from 7L/100Km on the open road to about 6.5L/100Km. In the city i've gone from an average of 12L/100Km to a little over 10L/100Km.
For all of you who don't need to worry about seasonal tyres, I would recommend looking into these. They cost me AUD$210 fitted and balanced.
Overall, an excelent tyre.
