My guess would be that NASCAR tires are on the very hard end of the F1 tyre spectrum with the cornering loads/weight that NASCAR has in comparison.
Pros: hard end of spectrum

Find the Goodyear trailer at the track. After the race sometimes the tire guys will sell you one over the fence. Got one a few years ago for $5 at Milwaukee.
Pros: cheap, good value
If you just want a used racing tire, (maybe Goodyear, maybe not), check out your local short track. The one's I've been to usually have piles of them laying around.
Pros: piles of tires available
Goodyear was selling the "Support Our Troops" tires from Charlotte at the june michigan race last year for $20.
Pros: driver choice available
R Wagon, studded 17" Good Year Ultra Grip Ice Arctic. I'll say no more..
Pros: Good grip on ice
I put on a set of Eagle Sport all-seasons about 10K miles ago and I like them. They grip well and road noise has been non-existent. But they do maintain their grip on wet roads.
Pros: grip well, non-existent noise
Mileage: 10000 km
I had Eagle F1s on my RSX after having a set of Nitto summer tires. I have to say, I loved them. Grippy, and handled minor inclimate weather way better than the Nittos.
Pros: grippy, handled inclimate weather
Vehicle:
Acura RSX
I worked at Goodyear for 3 years and you are partially correct. Their quality isn't bad across the board, it is just not consistent. Some are great and last way longer than they should while others are just junk. I had 2 Ultra Grip Winters blow out on me a few hours apart (2 days after they were mounted).
Pros: some last longer
Cons: quality not consistent
Goodyear.
Vw has used crappy American Goodyear Eagle LS-2 back on the mk4 and b6 passat days. So crappy VW issues a TSB for abnormal wear rates.
Pros: avoided abnormal wear
Cons: crappy, abnormal wear
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
