Ok! That's it! Im done with Badyear tires!!! In the less than 2 years I've had my PT, I've had 8 Badyear Eagle tires on it. Of the original 4, 3 had to be replaced when I did a panic stop and they developed "flat spots". The 4th had to be replaced when a belt separated. Today, when having the tires rotated, another tire was found to have a belt separating...I think it was one of the "flat spot" replacements... This doesn't count numerous flats, I know all tires have flats, but these Badyears seem to attract steel screws and nails, more than any other tires.
I'm thinking about trying Cooper tires...any thoughts on this? Any other suggestions about good tires?
Thanks:

You are speakin' to the choir brother! [xx(] My PT came with the 15" tires, and I think in less than a year I had all 4 patched twice.. I feel so lucky that a fellow PT owner gave me her OEM 16" painted wheels.. I got to put new tires on my PT and have not picked up a nail or screw in over 3 years. I also still drive to the same places.[:I] I went with Remingtons(dunlop A2 copy), a nice California tire.
I have Brigestone Potenza G009's on my PT now, and they feel fine, but then I'm in cali with no snow or ice. I have also heard great things about the Conti Extreme Contacts, which you can get on TireRack..
ps I run my tire PSI at 36..
