Anyone have the Goodyear RS-A's on their g37 and if so, how are they? How's the traction in wet/snow as well as tread life?

 

I think these were the stock tires on the sedans. They weren't that great. Tire life is pretty low and when it gets down in tread...the performance is dramatically decreased. Terrible in wet conditions when it has low tread.

 

Horrible tire, don't get them.

 

These tires are horrible....I had them on my previous car since it came with them and will never go back to them. Traction sucked, braking sucked, wet weather traction sucked, sidewalls were extremely too soft and developed eggs, and tread wear sucked.

 

Got them on a G37 coupe I just bought. 18K on them and still lots of tread left. This was a 1 year lease to an Infiniti employee in TN - those are hwy miles. Based on Tirerack ratings, I am parking it over the winter (MN) and will probably upgrade next spring.

 

Had these on my Acura CL Type S and they were great tires. They are pretty high up in the hierarchy of Goodyear's offerings. Check out the Eagle F1 as well.

 

I needed all season tires and was hoping these would be decent to last me through winter. Couldn't find any other ones in the stock g37(19 inch) wheel size except for yokohama avid envigor and they won't come until jan. So I hope these are gonna get me through winter.

 

I own a 2010 Nissan Maxima, I have the Sport package and these came standard with my 19 inch wheels. These tires are terrible period. They vibrate, braking sucks with them and the come apart so easy, the sidewalls are like marshmallows, find some other tires somewhere else, because these are horrible. Also, I have a fwd setup and they are sometimes bad in wet weather, its gonna be even worse for you since you have rwd.

 

They are pretty bad, I use to have them on my 07 x sedan. I wouldn't suggest this tires.

 

Im a Maxima owner, so Im always at Maxima.org, I like to just go to different car forums and read the threads and stuff. The only reason I made an account here is because I saw this thread and dont want you to make the mistake of buying these tires, trust me, these tires are THAT bad!!!!

 

^ hahaa fellow orger and i agree with you!

 

haha, thanks man.

 

These tires suck bad. Worse tires ive ever rode. Road noise is unbareable almost.

I am typically a michelin person, but I am converting over into soft compound tires. For these tires to be soft compound, they suck.

The grip isn't as good compared to bridgestones, which is odd. The tire sucks very badly in raining conditions, almost unsafe.

I went through a puddle, and hydroplaned. If it were bridgestone or michelins, the puddle would of never done that.

In my opinion, Eagle F1's are ran on a lot of performance vehicles. If you're a goodyear person, then update to those. If not, go with Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position tires. I forget the exact name.

However, steer clear of any goodyear RS-A's. I probably have 10-15k on mine, and they are terrible.

I am definietly going back to bridgestones, or going to source some michelin pilot sports. Hopefully those are soft compound, but not for sure.

On our cars, it doesn't pay to loose the handling through hard compound tires.

 

Horrid tire. Works better hanging from a tree as a swing than on the road.
