Writing about the Goodyear Excellence given 69% (225-50-17-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 58000 average miles
Being OEM on my new Australian Ford Falcon, I had no choice of brands. I am happy with the tyres. They are good in the wet and dry. Providess a quiet and comfortable ride and have saved me in a couple of tight spots.

I am not happy with the rapid 'shoulder wear'. Despite religiously following the car manufacturer's recommended 32PSI inflation (for light passenger loads, as I travel alone mostly); and have always had 15,000 km wheel rotations and alignments when necessary. Currently, I need to replace all four tyres at 58,000kms. The shoulders are nearly worn down, while the inside tread still have approximately 4mm remaining.

Thinking about replacing with the same tyres but I am wondering if there are other brands with a better in price/performance. My 225/50/R17s are not a common size and they are expensive to replace. Have been recommended GY Excellence 235/45/R17s for economy and better performance. Any feedback on these 235/45/R17s is appreciated.
