Buying my grandfathers car next week. I have pretty well hammered out what I'm doing to it. To recap...

Last year he put some Goodyear Eagle ResponsEdge tires on it. (195/65/R15). Tirerack generally seems to say they are good on the road traction and noise wise. But snow will be poor/mediocre, andtreadlife will be mediocre. I'm wondering if anyone on here has used them before and has any comments. Thanks. I want to replace them in the future with General Altimax RT, or Pirelli P4 Four Seasons.
