Notice that the Goodyear tire has much more tread rubber than the other tires. Tread thickness of the Air Hawk and the Michelin are comparable.

Tubes can sometimes have a small bit of loose rubber inside them caused by installing the tube stem during manufacture.
Are Goodyear's Flight Custom III tire interchangeable with my existing tire?
Goodyear has issued Service Information Letter SL2002-32-002 R1 which states in part: 1. Subject tire full interchangeability with the same size and ply-rating "Goodyear Flight Custom II and Flight Special II. 2. That interchangeability extends to tires with same size and ply rating from competitive brands.
