| fffernan's Full Review: Goodyear Eagle RSA Passenger/Performance Tire |
I received these tires on my Dodge Stratus Coupe when I bought it brand new. 16,500 miles later I figured it was a good time to write a review.
I live in New England. Road conditions are usually not very good because of ice, snow, potholes, frost heaves, etc. I have used many different types of tires before, All-Season, Economy, Performance. These have a good combination of good characteristics. They have handled well in the snow despite being big 215's (bigger tires "float" over the snow while smaller tires penetrate through the snow because of higher pressure). When hitting frost heaves or potholes this tire keeps the car steady when turning.
Performance wise these tires keep the almost all of the 205 ft-lbs of torque from my engine on the ground except when brake standing it at like 3,000RPM. Even when turning and stomping on the gas it tends to keep the wheels from slipping. The sidewalls are stiff enough that turning feels very precise and tight. All in all it was a perfect OEM tire for my stratus.
