These are serious V-rated tires with 1" whitewall that match the performance characteristics of our Brutes, as far as I am concerned. They are also the ONLY whitewall performance tire on today's market manufactured in that size. Every other performance tire I could find is smaller - and blackwall. These Eagle GT+4's were manufactured for Rolls Royce and Bentley Turbo performance sedans - big cars that weigh at least as much as our 300's and go at least as fast.

These tires in 205/60R15 were stock on our LeBaron GT vert.
NICE tires, took a lot of driving, cornered great, good bad weather
traction. If they wern't almost 130 each when it came time to replace
them I would have bought them in a snap. The closest we came were
some Yokohamas. This MIGHT be a second choice if you are looking.

DITTO, grab them when you can if they are discontinued.
