Goodyear Eagle GT

[krunchykrome]

I'm having these tires put on our 2004 Acura TSX tomorrow afternoon. We went to Sears and the guy recommended these among 3 other tires. My only preferences were performance all-season tires, with an emphasis on all season. I decided to go with these because they were the cheapest and what I understand, among the best in all-season traction. He explained that the only drawback is the roadnoise; apparently, people say these tires are very loud.

I'm actually buying the tires from Mr.Tire as they are cheaper there. $624 includes 4 tires and everything else (including installation).

What do you think?

Very loud tires. Yes.

Bridgestone Potenza G019 Grid. This is a great all season replacement tire.

Loud and poor life, IIRC. They're soft though so they have good grip.

Get the good year triple tread tires instead they are better. I have those on my ride and they PWN face!

those are all season performance tires? what kind of car do you have?

they're a bit more expensive ($190 per tire vs $156)

Like them so far. Got them for a relative song on TireRack.
Wasn't about to put no Bridgestone Pole Positions on a 98 Cavalier :laugh:

I almost bought those same tires for my 2006 TSX, but I ended up with these instead.

At the time they were rated higher than the Eagle GTs, but now they are 10th out of 23, where as the GTs are 8th out of 23.

111$ each aint bad either. 50$ shipping and 15$ a tire for mounting. Both have treadware ratings of 400, but the GT is actually a few bucks cheaper at tire rack.

Thats what I said. lol. on a time slip I could find the guy who had The GT's had a 60' of 2.04 which is pretty good for street tires.

I've got an 2001 ES 300 Lexus. I live in Toronto and drive in the snow with them, they aren't the best all season tire for grip on snow but they do the job. In the summer they are amazing, and the life they have is long as long as you keep them at high PSI. My car suggests I run my tires 28 with 4 occupants max and 32 with 4 + load. I run my tires at 38-40 because that's what my mechanic recommended to me as these tires have a higher PSI rating.

Also if you look at a bunch of reviews the triple treads win.
