As far as I'm concerned, the tread wear/noise has been great so far and with respect to faster wear on these, I don't see it. After 20,000kms, the "rib" embedded within the tread is barely visible, so I'm expecting roughly 45k or 50k kms out of these tires. I only got about 38k or 40k on the Pirelli's before they started to get horrendously loud....can't speak to the GY Eagles though...never owned a set.

p.s. as for winter driving, they've been great so far (I don't have winter tires). I live in Toronto and typically get 2 to 3 feet of snow from December to March. I also drive the X3 to the cottage during the winter, and up there, they get in excess of 4 feet and the handling has been great. Not got stuck yet!!!

Are you referring to the Bridgestone Potenzas?
