Tires always come with trade offs. There are two ways to achieve desired attributes: tread pattern and tire composition. Aggressive treads like this one are grippier and can usually handle adverse weather, but are noisier than a less aggressive tread. Harder compounds (this one is slightly on the firm side) lose some traction and give a harsher ride, but increase tread life and durability. There are grippier fair weather tires to be sure, such as the F1 series, and grippier dedicated tires for ice and snow. However it's difficult to find a great all-around, all weather tire that has a high speed rating, is responsive, provides great wet traction and at least moderate to good snow and ice. Third set of Eagle Sport GT's that I have purchased. Dry weather grip is well above average. Wet weather is outstanding, and for a V/Z speed rated tire the winter grip is amazing. Only non-winter tire I've ever had grip wet ice. Aggressive driving usually nets me 35,000+ miles a set with rotations.

So far, so good. Tires are performing better than expected. I only have one question: Tires don't need those little weights on the edges of the wheels for balancing anymore? I don't see any on mine, which makes me wonder if the balancing was done. Thank you.

When the tires were first put on I noticed increased road noise. After some use the tire seam adaquite. Traction is okay the tires loose grip if taking off with 1/2 throttle. The tires handle very well in the rain unless your trying to pass then it looses grip. So far the ware is marginal. I'm happy with the purchase.

These were the only tires in stock when mine needed to be replaced quickly (due extensive dry rot). The work fine, they just always look like they need air. I've also noticed that the ride feels more truck-y - but that may be just because I just switched from a sedan to this truck-based SUV.

Tires so far have been a great purchase. The price was very reasonable and the overall quality is noticeable. The handling is very responsive and performing really good in the rain. Replaced original stock tires and wish I had bought these sooner for the overall experience.

The tires have performed superbly and have actually made the ride and handling the best it has been. The Goodyear store in Ocean Springs was on the ball and was ready to install the tires, when I arrived. The online process was flawless and I was very pleased as everyone performed as described within the confines of the online ordering process.

Quieter than the OE tires and the three other sets in between. They handle and grip great in dry conditions. On wet pavement, from a stop, even under a light load they'll break traction, especially on concrete which is a majority of the driving surfaces in my metro area. Their cornering ability is great even on a heavy sport sedan like I have. On the highway they are more quiet and comfortable than I expected and moreso than any of the four sets I've previously run.

These tires are a great value. They have great traction in wet and dry weather. My only complaint would be that they are a bit loud, but I cannot complain about that too much because the price of these tires make them a really great value. They also look great. The rim protector on my 20" wheels looks very nice and do the job well. Time will tell how they will hold up, but I think they will deliver. I got a set for my 18 Taurus because these performed great on my 350z.

I absolutely love these tires and don't want any other. Great feature is the lip that sticks out that protects my rim from curbs. I ran each set for 50,000 miles before replacing them. I feel very confident with these tires in N.J.'s all climate weather. Priced reasonably too.

My car (2012 VW Jetta 2.5 SEL) handles super super nice....finally got a chance to try these tires out in the rain this past week and wow! What a ride. Excellent handling in wet or dry conditions (I live in FL so have no idea about snow), a nice ride and when it rained, the traction was awesome. Loving having these new "shoes" on my awesome car.
