GoodyearFortera HL Radial Tire - 245/65R17 105S

The only difference between this tire and the one that came on our Pilot from the factory is the fact that these are rated 'S' and the ones that come from the factory, which I believe are 'T' rated, is that T-rated tires are speed rated 1 category higher.Amazon's system was telling me these tires were not compatible for our Pilot, but a little research revealed that S-rated tires are good to 112mph while 'T' speed rated tires are rated to 118mph. We don't drive anywhere near 100mph, let alone 112mph, so the 6mph more the T rated tires can run matters not one iota to us. The difference in price is substantial between the two types of these tires, so buying T rated tires made no sense, especially considering the load carrying spec for both tires are identical.As far as quality, we got nearly 50,000mi on our OEM Forteras w/no cracking, no out-of-balance issues, etc. Outstanding for the hot, arid desert environment our tires are subjected to. Going with another set of these Goodyear Forteras was a no-brainer.After searching at all the local tire places and a couple of the big online ones, the only place that could come close to Amazon was Discount Tire. Since Discount Tire's antics were the primary reason I was searching Amazon in the 1st place, they were not in the running. Note: I hate Discount's high-pressure sales game they run on the customers with their commissioned sales people & inexperienced school age shop workforce running around like bulls in China shops. Long story short, Amazon's price and vast shipping network makes not going to some big shyster tire outfit a viable option!Amazon gave me about a 7-10 day window for estimated delivery and the tires actually showed up in 3 days. Three of the 4 tires were very fresh, 1 was a year old (not my preference) but all 4 were mounted & balanced by a local shop (Big O tires) and are smooth as glass going down the road. Bottom line: I highly recommend these tires for light truck or SUVs that do most of their driving on asphalt.

Amazing tires, and the price were reasonable. Just what I needed.

These tires are amazing. They look really good, unlike most other tires. They have an attractive design and color to them.The tread pattern seems interesting and like it can handle whatever you throw at it other than offroading, and the build of the tires is very solid. So far I have had these tires for 3 months now and I am extremely satisfied. For the price, you cannot beat them at all. I was on a tight budget trying to find decent tires, and these do the job. The traction in the rain is superb, I never lose grip braking or accelerating. They are surprisingly quiet, and more quiet than my dad's 150$ General Grabbers. They are SOFT, which isn't the best for durability (but is for traction) but I'm hoping for 40k miles out of them. Yet to drive with them in the snow, but I doubt they will fail. Will definitely buy again.-02 GMC Envoy SLT 4WD

great

Bought my Goodyear Fortera HL Radial - 245/65R17 105S tires January 2016. Have a little more than 32K miles not them, and they are doing great -- wearing evenly and riding beautifully -- thanks to religiously rotating them every 6K miles. Now 2 years later, as I start the hunt for another set (just in case the tires do like most -- fail over who-knows-what whenever the miles start to stack up), Amazon is saying this exact same tire DOES NOT fit my 2007 Ridgeline RTL. Strange cuz when I bought them in 2016, Amazon said they did. Checked with Goodyear and it says that same tire indeed STILL fits my ’07 Ridgeline. I’ll ask around some more cuz I’d like to get the same Goodyear Forteras next time around. I like them that much. How can the tire fit perfectly and do great 1 year, and suddenly not fit 2 years later when it’s going on the same identical vehicle with the same identical, factory rim size? Enquiring minds want to know. Like I said, these tires are wonderful and still truckin'.

saved $ - higher speed rating delivered but exactly as expected
