I had Goodyear R1's on CSX 3288 from 2000 to 2008 and only got about 6000 miles out of them, not to mention dozens of chips on the rear fenders from the rocks thrown by those sticky tires. They looked great and really drove nicely, but aren't made anymore and I am concerned I won't have much paint on the rear fenders soon, so I installed new Goodyear Comp T/A's and they have been fantastic. Still get plenty of chips but I'll get a lot more than 6000 miles out of them, they look correct and the drive nicely.
I run Michelin XWX's on the 289, CSX 2401 and they do very nicely as well. I have Goodyear R1 race tires on the American Racing magnesium 5 spokes I have for the track and they do make a difference, but the XWX's are great on the street.
