| lzap2112's Full Review: Goodyear Eagle RSA Passenger/Performance Tire |
These tires came standard on my 2000 Eclipse GT. Even though they only have 35K of wear, I'm shopping for new tires because I'm tired of the poor traction and constant loss of air pressure.
The traction is poor, ESPECIALLY in rain and snow, and I've had experiences on MANY occasions similar to other reviewers. I've hydroplaned on several occasions, and now when it rains, even just a drizzle, I drive white knuckled and significantly slower than everyone else on the road.
I've also had similar problems with loss of air pressure, primarily in two of the tires. I need to check them (and usually add some air) at least once a week and it's extremely aggravating. And when one of the tires begins to lose air, you can feel it in the steering as if the car is out of alignment, which I guess at that point it is in a way.
Bottom line, these tires are very annoying and more importantly DANGEROUS. I'm surprized Goodyear has not faced any lawsuits yet related to the subpar performance of these "performance" tires.
