Opinions on Goodyear Eagle RS-A 225/45R-19 94V BW

Almost time for new tires, been looking at a ton of options including, replacing stocks, yokohama S drives and a few others. I came across Goodyear Eagle RS-A 225/45R-19 94V BW on an Infiniti Parts website and they are going for 139.00 each on sale. Are they any good. I know they are V rated, is that going to be an issue?

You can do way better for similar or slightly more money. I had these as OEM on several cars and they are horrible for both traction and noise IMO.

Thanks for the response, I guess I will be staying away from them.

I'd be interested in getting Michelin Pilot Sport All Seasons when I get new tires for a little bit better wet traction and better tread wear....even if they're more expensive. What size tires would I need front/back since I'm planning on keeping the stock 19" wheels....these tires don't come in the exact same size as the Bridgestones.....thanks for the help!

Yeah, the OEM Potenzas are great tires....I'll probably stick with them....even though they're crazy expensive (but I guess so are the Michelins). The only difference is that it would be nice to have a high performance all season with a much longer tread warranty than our soft Potenzas. Plus Tennessee does have a few months of temps below 30 so I know summer tires don't stick to the pavement well in those temps.

I'm at about 16K and a few burnouts, donuts, etc have taken toll on my rears. Actually, I'm surprised they lasted this long. I can get through the summer on these, so figure almost 20K total miles. I agree the OEM Potenzas have been pretty good in all categories. But looks like these are almost $300 per. Ouch
