I don't like Goodyear tires at all, they wear out fast and seemed slippery to me

I used to have Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires on my 98 Grand Prix GTP. Great traction but terrible tread life, they usually needed replacing every 25k miles.

I agree. The only ones i would use are the f1 supercar's. They wear and feel more like an Asian tire. But are twice the cost, so ill stick with nittos.
