Goodyear Eagle Tires

This tire is outstanding. Starting the 3rd season with them and they still drive like new. Very sure handling on dry and wet roads, and incredibly quiet. Very significant tread remaining, so wear does not appear to be a problem. These tires replaced the stock Goodyear Eagle LS-2's, which pale in comparison. They did not handle anywhere near as well, were loud, and wore to the point of needing replacement by 30,000 miles.

Excellent tire! Very much better than the replacement Firestone 500 Police, Kumho's, and particularly, the Goodyear Eagles Z-rated that came on the car. I had a tread separation on one of these at 24,000 miles - inexcusable on a Z rated tire at highway speeds. The Kumho's handled excellently, and probably gave slightly superior dry traction vs. the new Pilots, but were toast in 16M miles, which is ridiculous. Love all aspects of the Pilots to date. Well worth the very premium price.

This is another follow up from previous reviews. Since I submitted my last review, these tires have been exposed to the icy roasd os Interstate 70 in eastern Colorado and the snow packed roads of Interstate 70 from Denver west. The Eagle GT A/S has exceeded my expectations so far. It probably doesn't hurt that my vehicle is AWD. The only area that I can't comment on yet is treadwear and mileage. I will be satisfied if I get 40,000 miles out of these tires and all indications, so far, are that I will get a few thousand more than that. For my driving style and my vehicle, this is a great tire and I would not hesitate to buy the Eagle GT A/S again.

Quite surprise on its durability, although its performance degraded rather quickly after the 60000 Mi mark. I basically run them down to the max I could and were still good under dry conditions but obviously not safe in wet or snow conditions.

I replaced the Goodyear Eagle RSA's that are OE for my V6 Fusion SE with these Michelins, and I am so happy with the performance of these tires. They ride so quietly than the Goodyears and has made a big difference on my highway commute to work everyday. There is little to NO road noise while traveling at higher speeds which is like night and day compared to the Goodyears! Traction is very good and they handle very well wet or dry. Cornering is just as good or better than the Eagles that they replaced. I haven't had a chance to try them on the snow yet, but I'm sure they will be just as good or better than the Goodyears. I am very impressed with these tires and for the price, you just can't go wrong. I will definitely buy these tires again!

I've been driving for over 50 years, my wife over 40 years and neither of us have ever hade a tire bulge. Now, with these Goodyears, bulges on two tires purchased less than 2 months ago. I say crap construction - dealer says "potholes" and it's not even pothole season! Will never purchase Goodyear tires again.

This is a preliminary review of the Continental PureContact with EcoPlus for the Mazda5. We have put 1500 miles of Pacific NW winter driving on these tires since our purchase. They are significantly quieter when driving on both concrete and asphalt highways, especially at freeway speeds. The Mazda5 is not a quiet, touring car, but these tires are a dramatic improvement over both the OEM tires and the Goodyear Eagles that we have previously had mounted. Our Mazda5 has a 5sp manual and so far, the Purecontacts have not lost their grip during normal 1st gear starts. About 80% of our driving so far has been in damp and wet weather and the Purecontacts track predictably at all speeds. Fortunately, the Mazda5 has not been in snow this winter, so no feedback yet on their snow performance. Only time and mileage will show how these age, but we are extremely satisfied with these tires so far.

I was not expecting too much from these tires since they were so inexpensive, but I was pleasantly surprised. The only thing I liked better about the oe tires was their traction in the rain. These tires are quiet, handle extremely well, and responsive. For the money, you can't beat them.

Bought the BF Goodrich Radial T/A tire for my GMC Sierra 1500 2WD standard cab stepside pickup as a replacement for Goodyear Eagle GT tires that I religiously ran on for many years (only to learn that Goodyear stopped making that tire in a 15" when it came time to replace them.) I wanted the White Letter tire and as many of you are finding out, 15" RWL this is becoming a dying breed.

This was the first set of BF Goodrich's I have ever owned and I was pleasantly surprised how much better and smoother they ride vs the Goodyears. Dry pavement driving is great, and wet pavement is good and acceptable. I typically tone it down in wet weather just because you can't expect a light truck to handle like a car due to the light rear end.

The raised white lettering is not quite as big as what Goodyear does and the BF Goodrich positioning of the letters are closer to the rim, vs Goodyear, which positions the lettering closer towards the treads. Not really a big deal to some, but if you have attention to detail like I do, its worth noting the appearance difference. Also as a notation, the tire shop filled my BF Goodrich tires with Nitrogen instead of air.

After having owned these tires for over 6 months, I wished I had switched to them earlier based on their ride and appearance. Unless something unforeseen happens, I would be likely to repurchase and recommend to a friend

After 17,000 miles the tires and not wearing good and starting to cup. They ride ok, but are noisy. All around traction is pretty good. I will be lucky if I get 40,000 miles out of these. Air pressure is checked once a week, newer suspension, and good aliment. Wont buy again.

Phenomenal tire.

I have a modified Taurus SHO putting down about 405hp and 450tq, and these tires perform great in all conditions. I don't consider these all-seasons, i consider then 4 season tires.

Good in all conditions. I swapped out my Goodyear Eagle F1 summer tires, and expected a drop off in handling, but I seriously can't tell.

They are also extremely loud when you try to break traction, which means there is some serious grip from these tires. They are very quiet and smooth on highway cruising, and high speed stability is impeccable. No reason to keep summer tires around. Just mount these and you're done.

Oh, and the tread life is also amazing. I can barely measure any wear after 7000 miles. And my car is about 4400lbs.

In Vermont, we run winter tires pretty much from November until April, so it's important to choose wisely when shopping for a new set. These Eagle Ultra Grip GW-3 winter tires replaced Michelin Primacy Alpin PA3 winter tires, and I couldn't be happier with the selection. Every objective measure of performance (and satisfaction) went up with the Goodyear tires: grip on icy surfaces; deep snow performance; slushy and wet road traction; and overall comfort (NVH). And on dry, cold roads, I really appreciate the stability and responsiveness of a performance winter tire -- especially in a heavy, V8 powered sedan. It's been a 'real' winter this year, and these tires have exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended.

Horrible!!!! 19k and down to the tread bars. Didn't hold up and all. Performance was only avg at best while they lasted and wet/slippery traction was terrible. Road noise and harsh ride also. Wouldn't recommend these tires to anyone. Junk!!!!

Great traction ,especially in dry weather. Good response to driving input. Only problem is these tires starting vibrating right at 1,000 miles. not a real bad vibration but a nuisance at around 65-70 miles per hour.
