Goodyear Eagle RS-A 

This is my second set of Goodyear Eagle Touring tires; my first set was OEM.

Despite all of the reviews claiming that tread wear was subpar, my first pair is currently at 43,000 miles after two years of use, and this second set that I just purchased will be put on at my next oil change at 45,000. The price on these dropped over $150 for the set, and they’re most definitely worth that price! I went ahead and made the purchase a little early since I have been eyeing these for two years and they have always been over $800 for the set, so the new $650 (and still falling!) price was attractive.

I drive in Florida, so although I have no experience with these tires in snow, I have experienced them in the rain, and I’ve had no issue with traction in wet or dry conditions. I have nothing negative to say about them. I think they score a solid 7-out-of-10. They’re not the best tire, obviously, but they are far, FAR from being a bad tire!

I don’t consider myself to drive slowly, because I do like to have some fun with my car, but some of you all must be practicing some really bad habits for your tires to wear out before 30,000 miles (as quickly as a high-performance tire). For those of you who say these have horrible tread wear, let me give you a few tips:

•Accelerate gently. You don’t have to be a grandma about it, but you don’t need to get to 50mph in 3 seconds, either.

•Brake earlier and be more gentle with your brakes overall.

•Go a little slower around turns. I know it’s fun to go fast, believe me, but it will cause your tires to wear out sooner.

Follow those 3 tips, and you can get your Eagle Touring tires to well-over 40,000 miles like I did!

Extremely good road handling and grip

This tire is an exellent tire it give me a very confortable ride ,when the time come for me to replace my tires I will use the Good Year Eagle touring again.

original equipment on my Macan GTS. Compelled to write after seeing negative reviews on this site. Tire wear is excellent as I have 7-7.5/32 tread after 15k miles. Very quiet tire with excellent steering response but still comfortable ride. It checks all boxes as an all season tire in a sport SUV.

I have been involuntarily subjected to living with these tires (as the OEM fitment) on my otherwise excellent Honda. They leave much to be desired. The only upside? They've pushed me to seriously consider an early upgrade to Vredestein—or perhaps Pirelli—in the near future.

Sound and Comfort:
These tires are unusually loud. Instead of a quiet, refined ride, every rotation produces a disruptive cacophony of road noise that detracts from an otherwise smooth drive.

Handling:
They lack responsiveness and precision, leaving the car feeling unbalanced during turns and sudden maneuvers. The steering confidence is compromised, which is baffling for a vehicle renowned for safely like the Honda Accord.

Ride Quality:
Even minor road imperfections translate into a jarring, uncomfortable experience. Rather than absorbing bumps, these tires transmit every irregularity to the cabin, diminishing overall comfort and interrupting an otherwise serene experience.

Value for Money:
Priced on the higher end, these tires fall well short of expectations. Brands like Goodyear, Vredestein, and Pirellil *all* can offer much better performance, comfort, and value for a similar cost. These are not the tires you're looking for unless your only requirement is round and made-of-rubber.

OEM Decision:
It's puzzling why Honda chose these tires. One might suspect that the decision was influenced by some "golf-course bro-negotiations" rather than performance merits.

After around a decade of enjoying Vredestein tires on my other vehicles, I'm convinced that a change here is overdue. My next set will likely be a move to Quatrac Pro+ or a similar proven alternative. These tires only serve as a reminder that the right tire can make all the difference in sound, handling, and comfort, and either make or ruin your driving experience.

I was really disappointed that these tires are useless in the slightest amount of snow on the ground.

Had to use a second car to commute due to the poor snow performance.

These tires came on my Highlander when new. They provide decent dry grip and handling, but are poor in wet conditions and downright awful in even light snow and ice. This poor performance has gradually gotten worse as the tires have aged. I now have about 20,000 miles on them and they are tire noise has increased and grip in all conditions has gotten worse. Driving in the rain on the highway results in a lot of slipping around- enough to force you to slow down in order to maintain safety. This isn't something that I've experienced with other tires- other than in really, really heavy rain.

Grip in the snow was so bad the first winter that I decided to get a different set of tires for the second winter, which is not something I normally have to do. The tires are only about half worn at this point- but I'm already shopping around for replacements. I shouldn't need to do seasonal tire changes on an SUV to keep things safe in winter- and these Goodyear Eagles just aren't safe in even light snow.

One other thing that I really don't like about these tires- and I'm not sure if it's just my particular set or not- is that the tires developed a brown haze after a few months. It looks awful and no matter how much I scrub them and clean them- the brown haze returns after a few days. Doing a bit of research, it seems like most tire makers use an antiozonant to prevent this from happening. Maybe Goodyear didn't apply enough to these specific tires- as I've noticed it on other Highlanders too.

This tire is the worst tire I've had on a vehicle in 30 years. I scraped them at 10k miles due to safety concerns. This tire should not be used anywhere that has winter. This tire is worthless in any snow, zero stopping ability and horrible grip. The tire was loud on dry pavement and never provided any handling confidence. I will never consider a Goodyear product after this tire experience.

Thought the tires were ok , Tread wear I feel is terrible , road noise is average at best . Won’t be buying Good Year again

Terrible tire. Side wall blowouts with no explanation. No treadwear warranty, wore out less than 10,000 miles.

These tires came with my Toyota Highlander from the factory. They are probably the worst tires I've ever had on any of the 4 vehicles I've owned over my lifetime. Wet traction was atrocious, even on my AWD Highlander I'd still get some wheel slip pulling out from a stop. Wet cornering was even worse, you'd actively feel the car understeer and start to go wide when turning on a wet road surface. Even when you were confident that you were going slow enough to take that corner on a rainy day, I was usually proven wrong and can feel the tires slipping. For dry usage, they were ok. They still had more tire slip than I like, but they were good enough. Cornering was also just ok in dry conditions. The turning response of these tires was absolutely horrendous, it felt like you were driving a boat. It was only when I left the shop with my newly mounted Michelin Crossclimate 2s, which replaced these Goodyear's, that I noticed how terrible the turning response was. Noise out of these tires is also just OK, they're not the quietest tire but also not the loudest, I'd say they're acceptable but still give a good bit of road noise. Treadwear was --- awful, I was down to 4/32" after 2 years and 36k miles. I probably could have gotten a few more months out of them, but I was just sick of how poor these tires handled. The one place these tires weren't atrocious in was the snow, they performed fairly decently considering how bad they were at everything else. I don't know if I should attribute that more to the tire, or to my Toyota Highlander's AWD system. Definitely not as good as a snow tire, but I'd rank them above average compared to most other all seasons.
