Goodyear Eagle RS-A High Performance All-Season Tires | Performance All-Season Tires in P235/55R17

These tires came on my Charger Pursuit at the 225/60/R18 size. Objectively, they are not good. Drove daily with these ranging from 20F to 100F, snow, heat.

I''ll start with the pros:
Great dry traction, turn in, sharpness of steering feels great, taking corners hard rarely caused a squeal at all. Surprisingly good, reminds me a bit like a summer tire in that regard. It''s very quiet.

The average/meh:
Tire wear: I just broke 25k miles, and these are the same tires the car got when new, so they were 6 years old. We were at 4/32 on the front but the edges were almost completely worn down/flat. Not good tire wear for a normal all season.

Wet: Road performance was okay in light rain, never slipped even when taking corners hard, which I find surprising. Other folks seem to have issues with rain.

The bad:
Snow: I live in the Denver area where we just had an early season snow storm in early Nov. With 4/32 of wear on my RS-As I was doing okay with the snow covered roads (32F very wet, damp snow, lightly freezing slush), but when I had to stop coming down a hill for a light I almost slid into another car and couldn''t stop. Fair to note that other drivers were also having a tough time and sliding all over too. Very sketchy.

Heavy rain: The car does tend to hydroplane a bit, but not terribly.

Comfort: Tires would clunk often even when hitting the most mild of potholes/bumps, ride was jarring, even with a such a large sidewall.

Another odd note, when driving over grooved pavement, the tire would "follow" the groove and want to steer off course. ALSO, a very annoying characteristic is these tires are TERRIBLE to balance. Had to take the car back to the dealer to balance 3 different times, and they STILL pulled. I only notice this now after I got new tires and now I need another alignment. Wouldn''t recommend.

They're not ultra-high performance tires, don't fool yourself, but since these tires are 20mm wider than stock, the pressure being run is lower and they are just a joy. I'll quickly admit that they aren't great at carving corners in the wet, but I've also been able to drive at highway speed while the rain was pouring in sheets with very high confidence. For a car as light as a mini, this is plenty of grip for hard cornering, even on mostly stock suspension. For the price, these are probably about as good as you can ask for. I doubt they'll be the greatest tires in the snow, but neither is a fwd mini cooper. I'll drive my Volvo v60 Polestar with awd if I need to go out in the snow, and that's a perfectly acceptable compromise. For any car that is to be driven quickly but that isn't itself a sporty car, these are a great option that won't break the bank.

Not sure why all the negativity. I purchased these as a replacement for michelin primacy and I see very little difference. Dry traction is great, wet is good and snow is so so although I tested the tires in snow mode on 2 inches of snow and they did pretty good with very little wheel spin. Really good tires for the price so far.

Got these as OE with my 2023 Charger R/T (w/all the performance upgrades) and I have learned they are pretty reliable in dry conditions, but they tend to give way a little under hard cornering. Seem to hold fairly well under acceleration and I have no complaints so far under hard braking. However, when the road is wet (I don't use the traction control feature very much), these tires hydroplane too easily, even when turning and cornering very modestly. I admit I drive hard and brake hard in good conditions, but not so much in rain and snow. So when I say I'm corning modestly in the rain, I mean like little old lady type speed, very easy. I don't trust these tires at all when the road is wet, definitely will not be buy these as replacements when the time comes.

Good tire, it changes the profile and stance of my truck but still handles nice and the ride is smooth.

Originally I was very excited about those tires but after a month , I regretted because I ended hating it . It is uncomfortable, I mean I learn the hard way . Do not buy Goodyear tires for Mercedes. It doesn't fit right and just takes away from the smooth ride.

I did over 70,000 miles of high speed driving between Orlando and Tampa on I4 one of the most deadliest highways in Florida. I have been down to Miami twice going speeds over 80+ in dry and wet conditions. This tire is outstanding for high speed lane changes and wet road driving. FHP uses this tires for high speed chances and I have cut across the medium on the highway more then once watching an SUV get stuck trying to follow my little Corolla. I'm amazed that with a 260 tread wear I got such high mileage from this tire and even tread wear. Two of the tires did show dry rout after 4 years so I replaced them with a new set but the tread would have lasted to 80,000.

These tires were on my Corolla S when I bought it. The car had 9000 miles on it. I now have 61000 miles on the car and the tires have more life in them. I drive fairly conservatively and rotate the tires occasionally. They have been an excellent tire... quiet, good handling, long life.

A good basic performance tire for three seasons, but utterly pathetic in the snow, if you live in an area with snow, make sure you have snow tires to switch to, these are actually *DANGEROUS* in the snow and ice, absolutely no traction, it’s like they’re bald.

For spring thru fall? They’re fine, they’re tires, they’re round and hold air and don’t wear out too quickly

I spend a good amount of time driving, on all surfaces and I know now what a composed tire is supposed to feel like. These RS-A tires were my first set of replacements since purchasing my car and definitely the worst.

I slid out multiple times throughout the time using these tires, in wet and snowy conditions. I'm a fast driver but these tires didnt have any grip on any adverse conditions at all, even when I slowed down my driving. Additionally they wore out incredibly fast, and are useless at sub 20,000 miles. I really suggest you don't get these they are not safe.

I'm nearly 50 years old, and have owed many different types of vehicles and have tried many models of tires. I have owned subcompact vehicles, full sized sedans, 2wd trucks, 4x4 lifted trucks, as well as high performance sport cars. Typically, I don't do reviews because of the 20 different sets of tires I've run, they have all been acceptable based on purpose and price paid. Some are obnoxiously loud, like the Nitto NT01 DOT track tires...but they are not designed for comfort; but performed admirably for their intended purpose.

I've owned Michelin road tires, Michelin and Nitto off-road tires, Kuhmo street tires, Bridgestone street tires, General Tire commuter tires - I don't recall the models - but, they were all acceptable when it came to dry grip, wet grip, hydroplaning resistance, wear (20k miles for high performance tires - 70k mile for OEM Michelin tires), and price. But these Goodyear RS-A...wow, they are downright the WORST tires I've ever owned. The dry and wet grip are so poor that I had to check the dates on the tires to make sure they aren't 20 years old. They were manufactured in 2016, so approx 2.5 years old. I have 15,000 on these tires and there is plenty of tread. The traction control is always engaging on wet surface. Of all the vehicles I've driven, Traction control hardly ever engages unless on icy or snow covered roads. When I turn off traction control on wet pavement, the tires spin upon normal throttle application, so it is not faulty traction control programming or ABS sensors that are causing issues. On dry pavement, I can probably leave a burn out mark for 50 yards if I wanted (in a Toyota Venza!) These Goodyear RS-A are HORRIBLE! Please stay away from these tires; they are the absolute worst.

I hope I never have to do another tire review, but I felt compelled to warn you how bad these tires are.
