Goodyear Fortera HL tires

Anyone use these tires before?
The HL,s are supposedly discontinued, and my tire retailer will sell them to me for $99 per tire.

This sounds like a great deal considering the cheapest most offer in this size is $150.
This is a 01 SC crew cab that came with 265-55-17 from he factory.

Nobody makes that factory size so the last set I ran on it was 275-55-17 Yokohamas which were great.
The Goodyears are the same as the Yokohamas.

Any feedback would be great.
Thanks.

Have not used them, but I have bought tires that I thought were a good deal until I had to use the road hazard warranty. Ended up with one odd tire, that is until I couldn't take it no more and got three new tires to match. Turned out in my case it was not so great a deal, not for the money, but the hassel.

I put Fortera HLs on my wife's 1999 Mitsubishi Montero Sport (I think they were 265-70-16). We put 35,000 miles on the tires before we traded it in and they still looked brand new. Good traction, QUIET (x10!), and didn't seem sloppy when cornering.

Buy them before someone else does. Those were much more expensive (about $150+) when they were stock items.

I ended up going with them.
Them seem quiet and grip well.

I was looking to get more Yokohamas ,but discount didnt have them in stock.
I would have went with the Michelin Cross Terrains ,but they didnt have those either.

I was about to go with Fortera Silent Armors but then he mentioned the HL,s and I jumped on that.

Thanks for the responses.
