Goodyear tires

Oops, accidentally posted this in the 2-series forum by mistake, so here goes post #2.
I have a 2017 M2 and need new tires. I currently have the Conti Sport 3s. A friend with a tire store can get Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate for me, but I'm not familiar with these tires. I don't need other tire suggestions. Just wondering if anyone has experience with these. Thanks in advance.

Is there a reason you are looking to put all season tires on for use in Mississippi? You're not gonna find very many people here running AS tires

These tires are actually recommended by Tire Rack when you go through their website. MS only really has two seasons.... hot and less hot. And sometimes it rains.

I don't actually see where they are "recommended", only that they fit (any 245/35/19 and 265/35/19 tires will fit). To be honest, even if they did sort to the top of this list or something, I don't think that has anything to do with anything.

If you want AS tires, by all means get them - you will certainly save money over a set of "summer" tires and should get better tread life as well - just understand there's a reason most drivers don't want them on performance cars. Since they are a compromise of everything, they are the best at nothing.

Okay, thanks for the explanation!
