I'm similarly interested in your Goodyear experiences, particularly as the tires get more miles on them. My car came from the factory with Michelin Pilot Sports, which wore out around 25K miles. They were getting relatively loud toward the end. I replaced them with with Yokohama ES100's, which were great at the beginning, but are now loud enough that my wife is convinced something must be terribly wrong with them. (I checked, and they've still got probably 4mm until they hit the wear bars, so they've still got some life left in them.) Next time, I'd happily pay more money up front to have tires that will be quieter down the line.
