Goodyear Eagle Sport A/S - 245/45R18 96W Tire

It's not uncomfortable - it's just not a tire optimized for comfort. Tires that are optimized for comfort lack in handling or responsiveness. This is a "sport" tire, and acts like one - while delivering a good level of "comfort" as well. These tires hug the road and don't slip. They grip well and provide safety because of that.

I bought the Goodyear Eagle Sport tires to replace a set of another brand's tires I never really liked (somewhat mushy handling) and now I'm on my second set of the Goodyear's. The improvement in grip was so noticeable compared to the previous tires I ended up getting larger anti-roll bars to take advantage of the additional grip. In addition, for the same size tires, the Goodyear's were over an inch wider. Traction is also excellent in the rain, seemed pretty good in the one snow we had after I got them. Trade-off is a bit more firmness over some of the crappier roads here in the DFW. But every time I turn the wheels, take an off ramp or go through a tight curve it's worth the slightly rougher ride. Best of all is I do get very close to the 50,000 mile treadwear rating, I bet if I hadn't neglected rotating the tires the last 15-20,000 miles on the last set, I might have made it. 30,000 or so miles on the current set and a lot of life left.
