I ran GY Eagle GT2's for 6 seasons. My rears were getting down so bought two sets of tires:
Set 1 GY "Billboards":
Excellent fit and grip. less darting around than expected. Takes driver input more than radilas. Picks up rocks but tolerable.
Set 2 Mickey Thompson "Sportsman S/T":
Excellent fit (1" narrower tread than GY GT2's)
Acceptable grip (better than GT2's, less than Billboards)
Fantastic drive: smooth, quiet, track perfectly (has a little to do w alignment)

SIZE Comparison
S/T on left; Billbord on right, rears
DECISION: Saving the Billboards for track days; using the S/T on the street.
PS One on my rear GT2's has more rubber than the other. Maybe could be used for a season or two.
