Pros: Tread wear wasn't too bad for mileage.
Cons: Sidewall leaks and week sidewalls. Poor tracking/steering.

| moguy's Full Review: Goodyear Eagle RSA Passenger/Performance Tire |
In mid-2004, I bought 2 195HR16 to replace two OEM tires that needed replacing on my 1999 Honda Accord. Both of the Eagles developed bad sidewall leaks. Took them back to shop I had purchased them from and had both replaced under warrenty.
Both of the replacements held air okay for a short time, but the replacements also developed weak sidewall issues and leaks. Ultimately had to have sidewall reseals done on both of the replacements by a second shop. Put the remaining two OEM tires on front and the Eagles on the back, and they worked okay as rear tires only (without the weight of the engine as an issue).
Ultimately replaced the remaining two OEM tires with Kumho KH16 Solus, which were much improved in wet weather stopping/regular handling, and ultimately replaced the remaining GTs with two more Kumhos this week.
The remaining two GTs had been rotated back to the front a few months ago, and until they were replaced, the sidewall problems continued and they tracked horribly and lost air to the point that they halved my gas mileage.
I will never buy Goodyear again after this experience.
