Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate Ultra High Performance All-Season Tires in 295/40ZR21

As far as an all-season performance tire goes, it simply does not get better than these. Even in wet conditions, these tires grip the road as if it were dry. The lateral grip they offer is equally as impressive as their stability at high speeds. I’ve had them on a 600 hp Camaro for about 30k miles and they’ve held up to pretty much whatever I can throw at them: from canyon-carving to drag races they’ve yet to disappoint. Most surprising of all is how well they do in light to moderate snow. That being said, I wouldn’t expect them to do much beyond a couple inches of snow but they’ll still get you to work and back in a pinch.

I've got 1500 miles on these GY's that replaced my Michelin Pilot Sport All Seasons. I'd run 3 sets of those Michelins and loved them but these GY's were 1/3 the price and equally highly rated. So far so good. No snow as I live in SE VA. But they've done well in the wet, dry, cold, etc.

Perhaps the singular best tire overall I have ever had experience with. For an all season it does perform a bit less prominent than a summer tire for highly spirited actions, that said it also surprises me how well it will perform in auto cross and similar club racing. So what I have noticed is the tire performs very tightly right up to the limit with little warning versus say pirelli or Michelin which also perform well. The Goodyear is certainly superior in rain and snow, with a very good character in other categories. In summer temps a summer tire or slick is still better for obvious reasons but I have gotten comfortable leaving them on year round.

For economy I saw no losses, do not notice tire on commutes. Of special note on a few occasions I picked up nails or bolts and tire remained inflatable to be found on balancing or inspection when I had a hard time with tire pressure. To say I am impressed is an understatement. Does wear quickly with advanced suspension but that is acceptable with rotations it lasts nearly whole warranty period. Track sets I do not count, rotated back to street set. After 4 snow performance is dismal and hydro planning does tick up to happens in deeper occurrences common to my area, not enough to panic, but enough to know a set needs to change.

Extremely high quality, tread is very resistant to wear even on extremely hot days. Solid ice and snow performance, very good in the rain. Will definitely purchase again when I need a new set.

Installed mid December 23 to replace worn OEM Kumho tires around 42k miles on parent's 19 Forte. Initially was upset these 'performance' tires were bought instead of a standard all-season with presumed better tread life, ride quality and snow traction and intended to return them under the 60-day guarantee. Living in Cleveland, OH, my primary concern was winter traction in snow and ice and, before driving these, presumed it would generally worse than a good non-performance all-season that isn't marketed for performance. I thought it was ridiculous that they were sold these 'ultra-performance' tires for an economy car with 140HP instead of an Assurance or similar and I've learned to be very particular with Tires as quality/durability are all over the place and extremely inconsistent between models.

After driving these tires in the wet and snow, my main concerns about wet/snow/ice traction and ride quality have been mostly alleviated and I'd be pretty satisfied provided these tires make it to 40k miles. They're extremely grippy on wet roads and have better snow/ice traction than a lot of OEM and replacement all-season tires I've driven. Again, that was my biggest concern and anyone else worried about Winter roads would probably be satisfied with these. Steering feel is a bit heavier, and turn-in is incredibly responsive (minor steering inputs seem to turn more) if anyone cares/wants that. Road noise on the Freeway isn't great, but it's not terrible either and it's hard to say how much is from being relatively low-profile (225/45/17) and how much is the tire itself. Overall, noise and road imperfection damping is pretty good and unobtrusive, but this feels like the area most compromised. Road imperfections are felt, but damped/quieted pretty well and they definitely are better than a lot of tires with some wear.

To conclude, this is overall a very good all-season in snowy climates provided they last the tread warranty. If they last 40k, it's a good tire.

Was hoping for more. I drive 100 miles per day on highway and city. Not bad in dry weather but they are quite noisy on non smooth roadways. Good on light rain and hydroplaned in heavy rain. I got stuck driving home in 4" of snow. Not fuel efficient either. Was getting 34 mpg on previous tires( Goodyear Assurance Weatheready) and since installed, I'm only getting 30.5mpg. That's almost a 10% drop. I would not buy these tires again.

Obviously with only 1.000 miles on the tires, can't say much ,other than on the few times we've been on the road the tires are smoothe and responsive. Western NC mountain switchbacks and curves are no problem for a top down spirited drive.

I bought the GY Eagle Exhilarate tires to replace Michelin Pilot Sport AS4. The Exhilarate tires have performed well. They're more quiet and slightly more comfortable than the AS4, and haven't given up anything in grip. Steering feel isn't quite as sharp, but far from numb. Thus far they're on track to last longer too. I don't have any complaints with the performance of these tires.

That said, I'm never buying these tires again. These tires have a huge issue with how delicate they are. So far in my ownership I've replaced 3 of the 4 tires I originally bought due to failures from road hazards. Normal potholes that all my Continental and Michelin tires in the past have eaten up without issue result in sidewall bubbles on the GY Eagle Exhilarates. I haven't had any catastrophic failures of these tires (thank goodness), but whatever savings these tires might bring up front will be wiped out by how easily they need to be replaced.

I've been looking for the best tires for quietness and comfort ride. I believe after several years of looking at tires and trying different ones out,
I've found this tire the good year exhilarate. It's quiet on the road - no road noise. It's comfort ride is terrific esp riding in Pennsylvania roads
that are the pot hole capital of the world.

Excellent handling and comfortable riding tires, very quiet. however I'll be lucky to get 20K miles from them.

This is my second set of the Goodyear Exhilarate tires. I replaced the first set after 57K miles; rated at 45,000! I kept them rotated; balanced; aligned. They are the perfect tire for my car, far out performing the OEM Hankooks. Totally recommend!

I have been happy with these tires ,
The rears were just replaced a few weeks ago , because I wore the tread off after two years and over 50,000 miles . The front tires are only a year old . And I’m an aggressive driver . They have had some track time as well and have preformed as they should.
They wear evenly, and balance easily.
