That's exactly where I was when I made the change. Had just had enough! Discount Tire guys kind of smiled and asked me if I was just trying to get more grip, or what? I told them I had popped two and was tired of worrying about it. They said, again with a smile, some sidewalls are better than others. That's all they would tell me, but it was clear they agreed with my decision. I am very happy with doing so, but completely understand if others cannot make that monetary committment at this time, based on individual situations, warranties, etc. I agree with Claykin that I think Goodyear Asymmetric F1 tires should be recalled. They had a descent ride, handled well, but I have never (and I am 70 years old, having owned many nice cars) had two tires fail in such a short time on any other car.
