Goodyear EAGLE RSA

Price Paid:  $160.00 from NTB

Year / Model Reviewed:
2006 Cadillac CTS

Summary:
I don't understand the purpose of this tire being as costly as it is when it only get's 15,000 to 20,000 miles.I do understand that it's performance but if you have to replace tires every 20,000 miles they should be price effective as well. I don't care about a name, GOODYEAR means nothing to me.

2007 Civic

Summary:
These tires came factory stock with my 2007 Honda Civic LX. I am a pretty aggressive driver from time to time, and I even try to make the tires spin on wet roads at every stop light, but they just won't cooperate with me. I do a lot of twists and turns on the corners, and it felt like the whole car was about to tip over (probably because the car is light). I thought I was going to see a set of Bridgestone Turanzas on my car, but Goodyear for a Japanese branded car? PUL-LEASE!

Strengths:
Really quiet tire on dry (paved) roads.

Weaknesses:
Too much squealing when making hard turns or jackrabbit accelerations.

2005 Eclipse GT

Summary:
These tires came factory on my 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT. I recently had to replace them after putting 66,700 miles on them over the course of a two and a half years. They lasted as long as they did even though they were abused from time to time (e-braking, speeds in excess of 140 mph, hard cornering and lots of time on gravel roads.) I also didn't keep up with the rotation as much as I should have. All said and done I would have bought these again if I could have found them with the same speed rating without having to pay dealership prices. (The tires that came on it were V rated, and I could only find H rated RSA's in my area.) If you like to push your car on the road or the track these tires will keep up with you and give you plenty of warning when they need to be replaced.

Strengths:
Very long tread life, good dry traction, stand up to abuse well, little loss of performance throughout tire life.

Weaknesses:
A little shaky in high speed cornering, could have better wet traction.

Summary:
I just drove through a typical winter situation in Eastern Canada and let me say that it was one of the scariest things I have ever gone through. After driving through the storm I thought that I was just expecting to much out of the tires but a couple of days later I drove back home taking the same route and 90 percent of the roads were bare and all was well. During a couple of pass attempts I went through a small amount of slush and nearly had to turn around to pick up my heart that almost jumped out of my chest. I would expect that from a set of tires with 100,000 kms on them, not 25000 kms. I have owned my car since late spring 2007 and until the snow came I had no problems with the tires, but unfortunately snow is a reality that all Canadians have to deal with. I will be doing a lot of driving in the next couple of months and it is very disappointing that I just bought a new car and now I have to go out and drop cash on a new set of tired that can make up for the shortfalls of these tires.

Strengths:
They havnt fallen off the car yet.

Weaknesses:
Everything except sunny weather.

2004 Chevy/Caviler

Summary:
GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A

P205/55R16 (for my car)

I own a 2004 Chevy Caviler, which I bought in April 2004. These particular tires were the tires that came 'stock' with my car, when i purchased it. My car now has 70,134 miles on it... and there still is a wee bit of tread on them. I am a typical female, who rarely gets her tires rotated, (maybe 2 times???) and i drive my car for my job. (A nurse for Home Health)I have had all 4 of my tires plugged though, one in each tire (just my luck). I have had these tires through the rain/show/sleet/ice... like i said.. my job involves being out in every weather condition, at all hours, everyday.

Overall, these tires are still holding on!!!! WONDERFUL PRODUCT!!!

100% will be buying the same tire again this coming week when I am buying new tires!!

I reccomend these tires for any car, well whatever they can fit/be used on!
