Great tire, great price. Everyone who's put them on loves them.

nope... they're AS...

Which is to say that they're compromised performance tires and compromised winter tires and compromised rain tires...

But I bought 'em and love 'em as all around tires.....

Cause tha allroad is a compromised performance car, a compromised off-roader, a compromised town car and a compromised grand tourer.

But I bought it and love it, too...

Is Goodyear still handling their design work in the US?

I know they broke off their financial relationship with Firestone some years back and Sumitomo took full control, but I thought I heard they entered a partnership with Goodyear for development of their US tires.
