Goodyear  Eagle LS

This Audi bought used with 43K miles very recently. The tires have plenty of tread left so maybe they are not the originals judging by the many prior poor wear comments. I have NOT experienced hydroplanning or sloppy wet traction and believe me I tried. Dry traction is quite acceptable however I may be experiencing some tire roll because the sidewalls may be a bit on the soft side. The noise level, city and highway and all types of surfaces is quite acceptable and the ride is very decent. Overall these tires seem to be up to the standard of a mid-lux sedan. Too early to judge snow handling.

These tires have 72,000 miles on them. They were on the car when I bought it new in 99. I can get another 8,000 miles out of them easily. They still have plenty of tread. They have great traction in the snow and rain. They ride great and are quiet. The funny thing is, I have never rotated them. I never saw a reason to because all 4 are wearing the same. I have absolutly now complaint with these tires at all. When I do have to buy new tires, I will definetly replace them with the same tire. I have never had tires with that many miles on them. I am wondering if the tires are going to outlast the car.

I have put a couple of sets of the Eagle LS on my 300.



I would rank them high for the noise, ride comfort and treadwear are very good.



I would rate these lower on anything but dry road conditions. While I never have hydoplaned I have felt the tires lift off the pavement going through deep puddles. Even new they skid a bit when starting off from a dead stop on an incline. They tend to oversteer and I rank them quite low in wet, snow and ice.



Based on the reviews I see on Tire Rack, I am going to give the Yokohama AVID TRZs a spin. Hopefully they excel in the areas I have found the Goodyears Eagles lacking.

Good tread wear on rear tires, front tires worn down by driving style. I usually take a corner fast and aggresive, diving into it and rolling out. I also typically drive 10-15 over the limit on the highway. Guided the car good through snow last year, which is saying alot since it was a lot of snow, and it was the first time I not only had a manual trans car but I only had about 2 months to teach my self how. Still plowed through 4-5 inches of fresh powdery snow a number of times. An all round good, great tire for the average driver.

This tire will aquaplane far too easily. I have had the tail end brake twice in heavy rain. I consider them to be unsafe and would not consider them again. Wet traction seems to be a common problem for most Goodyear tires.

These tires are absolutely horrible. In the rain they dont grip at all. On dry pavement they flex very badly and under hard cornering they break away very easily. The only thing good about them is they ride fairly smooth. After 10,000 miles they are past the treadwear indicator and any grip they had is gone.

These tires are great all around performers during dry conditions. However, the same can not be said when the roads get wet or snow packed. ---- help any poor slob dumb enough to try and drive with these tires in more than a couple of inches of snow. These Goodyears are by far the worst tires for winter conditions that I have ever had the displeasure of owning. My truck is useless if there is more than a couple inches of snow on the ground. Not a good trait for a work truck in the Midwest to have. It should also be noted that all four tires are down to their wear bars after only 22000 miles of normal use.

Treadwear is even and rapid; I wont get 40K out of these. I dont like the snow traction of these tires, but its not unacceptable. The tires are noisy when cold, but quiet down when they warm with driving. The tires are whitebread bland and not worth the rapid wear.

Acceptible handling on AWD but very slippery in the snow especially lateral traction vey anacceptible. Had to get snow tires for this winter. I wish some other company start making tires this size.

Tire seems fine if your driving in the city, but I found it poor in wet conditions and getting worse as the miles pile up. Very poor in icy conditions or hard packed snow. I dont trust them on corners or stopping in wet / icy conditions. Worst tires Ive owned. And expensive to buy.

OK, I admit, I didnt do my homework! I saw the "Goodyear" name & a super deal & I bought them to replace worn out Dunlops on my daily driver car (I go from PA to CT 2x a month, sometimes NJ & NY). ASSUMED the Goodyear name would be of good quality, WRONG!! These Eagles LS(205/60r15) ---- *#@^ing dog food. 23,500 miles and Im down to 4/32nds!!! NOT ACCEPTABLE! When new, did ok in dry, had to get into a turn kinda fast for them to scream, but wet was always lousy & just got worse as time went on! Got to the point lost confidence in driving comfortable wet speed & found myself slowing down dirving like Grandpa. Thought they would last A LOT longer!? Like I said if I didnt get them so cheap Id be more pi**ed, Now I know why I got them so cheap. OK so this is my 2nd time ever buying Goodyear, so yeah Im slow but learned my lesson... GOODYEAR has LOST me as a customer for 4EVER!!!! Going back to DUNLOP(SP Sport A2) or BRIDGESTONE(Potenzas 910 or 950) : )

These tires seem to be a soft compound. At 35000 miles I am replacing them at about 40% tread remaining. Am replacing with the same tire because I like the improved handling and feel of the softer tire. They are very good when new in the wet. Dont buy them if you are looking for longer wear....

Original tires for car and only got 25,000 miles in 1 1/2 years. Goodyear wants $241.00 to change only the front two!! Will not buy again and do not recommend!
