Thanks for the tip gtx. I don't drive over 80 mph but I do like to make her hug the corners.  So I think I def want a V rating. Size is the same as yours - P225 50R16. I'll take a look at the Toyo and Kumho and see what I find.
Thanks!

Kumho's are highly rated tires for the cost, but not in the same class as the Goodyear Eagles that your replacing.
Kumho Ecsta ASX may be a good choice for you, 420 A A ratings, speed rated at ZR. Some reviewers have stated that they wear faster than expected though.
I see them locally for < $100 each regularly.

Thanks burdawg. I found the Kumho Ecsta ASX on tirerack.com for $65. I debating btw those and the Fuzion VRi by Firestone which is a bit more expensive ($80) but has deeper tread.

hi, i work at american tire dist. been there for 6 years. i have seen many tire's come and go, but the kumho's might be better priced, but they make a lot of road noise as they wear out, fuzion's are good tire's the tread pattern has a lot to do with the noise on the kumho's. the sporty tread is allways better looking but not allway's the better/quiter tire. if you could spring the extra cash for the fuzion, thats the way to go.. i run 235/40ZR18 on my 2001 pontiac grand am se1 dunlop's rs100's, love them very grippy not so mutch of ruff ride being low profile about $120 for 1. i have a lowering kit 1.5front & 2.0back no alinghment problem's a full muffler system headers back, underdrive pully's custom coldair intake ran into the driverside fennderwell. hope you find what your looking for..

Thanks krs01grandam! I decided to go w/ the Fuzion VRi and I'm glad I did. I've put about 5,000 miles on them so far and I love them. No complaints!

Just bought a 2003 GT, it has 16 inch low profile tires is that standard equipment? I live in the northeast with lots of snow any comments about handling in the snow. Thanks

16" rims and low profile tires were standard. Snow handling depends on the specific model of tire, some are better than others.
