- I had Eagle GT+4's (all season tires) on my 89 Grand Prix. After one
- full year of driving (approx. 50,000Km), they're cooked. I have
- to say that traction on dry pavement was excellent. Wet traction
- was poor and snow was absolutely frightening. I'm lucky to still
- own my car. I won't buy them again.
