Al ... I bought new wiper blades from the dealer for my Lexus LS ... and they suck. However, when I recently changed the worn Goodyear Eagles put on by the previous owner for a new set of Michelin Premiers it was like going from a noisy clumpy ride to gliding on velvet. I don't have a clue about tire technology ... but I know what I hear and feel in my car. And by the way, with the new quiet ride, the Mark Levinson sound system has much better highs and mids. Too bad it doesn't have a fuse that can be changed out for an SR Black fuse ... or does it? Hmmm ...
Only kidding :-)
Actually, I'm not surprised. One of the versions of the Goodyear Eagle is original equipment on my Porsche Cayman S. Definitely designed for performance, not comfort, at least in that version.
