These are the factory tires for the Cruze Eco and Diesel

And the Volt.

About the only place the Goodyear FuelMax Assurance don't do well is in wet snow. They do fine in the dry snow out west but the water logged snow in the mid-west and east causes problems with them.

Because Goodyear provided a tire that met their desired specs at the lowest cost, right?

My past experience with Goodyears was atrocious. I was pleasantly surprised with the V rated FuelMax Assurance that shipped on my ECO. I'm sure there was some cost consideration - there always is in engineering, but these are actually quite good. I'm currently on Perelli P7 Centurano and I'm going to go back to the Goodyears when I replace the Perellis.

I have found with Goodyear tires you have to be religious with rotating them. If you don't they tend to wear pretty badly. Just my .02, your mileage may vary.

Every 5,000 miles, regardless of tire. No tire will last as long if it doesn't get different stresses on it from rotation and balancing.
