[s-cars] LAC Goodyear GSD3

[Taka Mizutani]

I think that's a function of the tread pattern- the squirminess, that is.

Also, the Chinese-made Goodyears differ from the German-made Goodyears-
don't know which you have on your car.

Those Goodyears do ride nicely, so I think the sidewall softness doesn't
help things at all.

Then again, my points of reference include Falken RT-615 and Bridgestone
RE-070, both of which have very stiff sidewalls.

For a car that doesn't require ultimate grip, I actually like the Toyo
Proxes 4 quite a lot- they're great on my Mom's Beetle- grip fairly well,
quiet, good wet and dry traction, good ride.
