I have the Goodyaer Nordics on my Focus (I really dont like them, stopping was ok but traction was poor) and they have worn out quick (less than 20k km on them). On my wifes sentra we had the Toyo Observes and they are way better and until we sold the car had 10-15k km on them and looked like new. The Nordics were cheaper but when I replace them (anytime now) I will likey go with the Toyo or Dunlop Graspics (had these on my old Cavy and they were great, way better than the nordics and as good as the Toyo's.
