I'm going to throw in on this as well. I'm still running on Goodyear
Invicta GLR's.
The first set I purchased after talking to Tom Egan of Goodyear, who
recommended pumping them up to 50+ PSI, he had little concern about
raising the pressure above the sidewall recommendations. My tire
retailer found a set in Florida, and the shipping was nearly equal to
the purchase price.
I don't remember how many miles they lasted, but the second set, I
bought at the Soquel drive-in flea market while vacationing in Santa
Cruz, CA. They were $70 for the set, brand new and still mounted on
pristine OEM Honda steel wheels. My girlfriend thought I was nuts,
but I managed to pack all four of them into the sedan we were
travelling in, and got our luggage and gear back in there too.
The Invictas are a lot like driving on a hot skillet with ice cubes
mounted at the end of all four axles, but boy, do they roll!
I'm eyeing this set and wondering about their replacements. It's
nearly impossible to find LRR tires in the size I need. I'll be
upgrading to 14" wheels, but that isn't much help, not much is being
offered in sizes smaller than 16 - 17" these days.I've combed through
tirerack.com without finding much useful.
Would be great to see this discussion lead to some resources for
those of us who can't (won't) rock the giant, oversized bling wheels.
A Leaf with an Avanti body? Yes! I couldn't bring myself to be seen
in a Nissan clown-car!
