Holy crap! I can't believe you got that kind of mileage out of those
tires. They must be wearing through to the belts by now, unless you
have some sort of miracle goodyear tire. I replaced mine with not
even 30,000 miles on them.
If you like them that much, go for it, but they really are junk (one
thing that just about everyone here will agree on in terms of tires).
There are lots of other tires to be had for the same price range (or
less) that will perform better and provide a smoother, quieter ride
(or more traction off-road if that's your thing).
tirerack.com is also a good place to check for comparisons of tires.
Their prices are also pretty good. Haven't ever bought anything from
them, though, so I can't really vouch for them. I buy everything from
a local shop. Prices aren't quite as good, but it lets me support my
fellow local business owners.
