[V8] Goodyear Tires

[Greg Furstenwerth]

Well the main reason I want them is its very quiet and they do great in 
bad weather from what all I have read/heard. I dont know I am also 
looking at the assurance but I would really like to get the comfortred 
if really possible. I just dont want to mess up the speedo as you stated 
or have issues with the tires. I think the brakes are stock I am not 
100% sure I will have to find out though.
