I called TireRack about my tire issues. They told me that Goodyear and TireRack came up with a program to replace the tires for free, plus add $100 credit to my CC account for return shipping, etc...
The one tire on the list that customer service recommends, which is part of the program, is the Michelin Pilot PS AS-plus for handling, ride, and noise levels. The "plus" designates it has had a minor redesign for noise issues as the GoodYear tire is having now.
So what do you guys think?
If it just costs me mounting and balance, I plan to go thru with it. If anyone purchaced GoodYear tires from TireRack, call them to see if you are eligiable for free replacements.

So I called Tire Rack and it
is a great deal. Free tires! But I was told that only 4 tires were eligible for the Goodyear replacement program and only the Goodtyear F1 Asymmetric was stocked in the staggered Crossfire sizes. These are a max
summer performance tires which means another set of wheels and Blizzaks ($900 for the tires alone) if you want to drive year-round.
But free tires... Tough to turn down. Anyone have experience with the F1 Asymmetrics?
