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 purchased this 2008 HHR SS in Ohio (I live in a suburb of Chicago) after learning via telephone from the salesman that the dealership had just installed them. That information sealed the deal for me. I have been using Goodyear tires for years. These tires are great. They are a little noisy which I attribute to the Heavy Duty Suspension and the very low profile of the tire. The noise is very slight and most people would not even notice. There is no difference in traction whether I am driving on dry roads or wet roads. This last winter in Chicago was the worst in over thirty (30) years and I had no problem driving through all the snow and slush. Kudos to Goodyear for building such a great tire!

I've had these tires for about a month. So far so good. They handled some deep puddles in a rainstorm just fine. Can't review in winter weather yet. They are a bit noisier and a harder ride than my previous tires but those were specifically tailored to be quiet.

The staff, had initially placed a new tire on a bent rim, that I believe they bent allowing the tire to bounce as they took it off my car. They chose not to tell me that the rim was obviously bent, and chose to renin quiet and install the new tire anyway. Then they placed the front tires, a different size, on the rear, and as i drove away the bigger rear tires were rubbing the wheel wells. I was stuck for tires on July 4th, otherwise I would never go there again.

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.

Have only had the tires for a couple of months but they are much better so far than my OEM tires that came on the car originally, especially for handling. Great in corners. Gave them a four in winter traction only because I haven't used them in the snow yet.

Absolutely love these tires. Great dry/wet traction. Smooth/ quite ride! Made my car look a little bit more aggressive looking. Also put these on my cousins car and my girlfriends car. Also I work at Charlotte County Ford, these are my go to tires and sold plenty of them and Customers come back to me and tell me how much they love these tires!

-2011 Mercedes c300 4matic -400 Miles driven on tires -Previous tires were Continental Contiprocontact I must say that I am very satisfied with my Eagle Sports. What a big difference these made to driving confidence. They are grippy and less audible than the Continentals. I do believe they are a bit stiff but that's what you get for a tighter feeling tire. It was a night and day difference (probably due to the fronts being worn). I hit a 3 inch pothole going 35mph with not adverse affects on the structure of my tire (thank god). I will continue to get these tires until I ride in someone else's c300. Great value for performance!

I had a Michelin tires that came on the car. They were much quieter than this Eagle AS although, the Eagle AS has much better grip. The Michelin tires would squeal on exit ramps, slid in the rain, as well as the snow. These Goodyear Eagle AS were a big improvement in traction, just wish they were not so noisy on the highway. The Goodyear Eagle also has side walls that protect the wheel. The Michelin tires do not. So my wheels have a couple of scuffs that wouldn't be there if Goodyear tires were on the vehicle in the first place. ONLY complaint is the road noise from the Eagle AS tires. Otherwise I love the look and traction benefits.

Happy with the tires. Good handling, good traction. Lower profile tires such as these 245/45/17 tires will always ride rougher than taller passenger car tires so don't expect a luxury car ride. Like the appearance of the tire so much better than some other comparable Name brand All Season tires. These have a more traditional looking tread design and shoulder/sidewall appearance. These are a good replacement for the same basic stock appearance of the original 245/45/ZR17 Eagles that came with the car. They aren't speed rated though if that is important to you. Cannot review the snow/ winter traction as my car isn't driven in the snow.
