Strength:

That is all that we have had to do to it. We bought it with a fixed transmision as we all know had to go. It has been a great family vehicle and never left us anywhere. We trust it fully to get us from point A to point B and back to point A and sometimes to point C. Maintenance done regulaly so we keep on top of it. Just had it in 3 months ago and given it a clean bill of health. Jeffersonville Porta Potty Service

Strength:

Wonderful dry backroad cornering, an okay tread design, wonderful looking sidewall, 340 treadwear are great for 20" rims, traction A, temp. A

Weakness:

Traction should be a B!
Tread design could be more aggressive
noisey, mushy sidewalls when pushed hard into a corner, not standing water friendly at highspeeds

I have been about 6,000 miles or so on these tires. I had toyos before that were okay, but 2 mushy for a car this size. The HP wasn't aggressive looking as i'm use 2, but i went with the great deal for 2 anyway. Here in NC we have flash floods out of a thunderstorm and im use to driving normally with my 255/35/20 as they slice through the water, BUT THESE DO NOT! I will be replacing these 2 with General Exclaims ASAP! I need tires that I can drive 70 or better on the highway in the way and not be scared of hydroplaining off the roadway. its scary to be driving right along and all of a sudden your front end starts 2 pull and u have traction control and ESC lights flashes as if i had no traction at all.

Strength:

Predictable, sticky, retains heat well, quiet.

The best street tire I have ever used. Price, performance and agility of the product is bar none. Extremely responsive with terrific traction control at any level. I was hesitant on this purchase but gave it a shot. Needless to say... it was the best buy of any other.

Strength:

Look good. Very sporty looking.

Weakness:

Extremely loud, noisy, bumpy. Takes to unsmoothroads very hard. Doesn't handle bumps, cracks in road well at all (not that any car would) but this is RIDICULOUS.

These new Eagle HPs have been on my car less than 24 hours and I am miserable. I have never experienced such a hard drive in my life. Very noisy and bumpy ride. Almost feels like I am driving on cobble stones. NOT a smoothe ride in any way. I just replaced Michelins which are the original tires. The loud, bumpy ride is so extreme from what I had with the Michelins. I don't have any particular brand loyatly and had no reason to switch from Michelin. Just shopped around and found best price with tire I was told would be comparible to what I had. I will be at the dealer first thing Monday morning, but not sure what options I have other than to face the fact I have made a horrible decision. Curious to hear if others have experienced similar problems. I sincerely hope this is an isolated case. Thanks.

Strength:

Tire longevity. Good traction in weat climate when the tires were not too worn.

Weakness:

Slightly mushy in hard cornering, but acceptable.

I replaced the original Goodyear Eagle LS tires with the Goodyear Eagle HP and got much more mileage from the HPs. I just replaced them after 55,000 miles and they were still above the treadwear lines. The cornering was a little mushier than with the LS tires; a worthwhile sacrific considering the longevity of the HPs.

Strength:

A good replacement for when you out grow your toboggan (that's a sleigh for you southern folks)

Weakness:

Absolutely no good when snow is laying on wet pavement.

I got these tires free of charge because they were on my father's car when he bought it and he wanted Michelins. I thought they would be a half decent winter tire and I would buy a great set of summer tires. My first time driving in snow with them came about a week after having them mounted. About 6 inches of snow came down while I was at work. I could not get up the hill that I live on, I had to go around the long way which is less steep. I could not believe how bad they were in the snow, I was doing better with the old tires that were almost bald. This was only a week ago and I am buying some Arctic Alpins today and rims to put them on. These Goodyears will be for summer only and I'll be driving hard to kill them as fast as I can.

Model Reviewed: ''94 Eclipse GS

Strength:

Roadholding and cornering when dry; cheap; look decent

Weakness:

Bad wet and ice traction; terrible tread life; don''t corner as well as most performance tires

These tires are OK on dry pavement, and cornering is acceptable. They hold the road on smooth, dry surfaces. Skittish in rain storms. Terrible in the snow. Not a good Wisconsin tire, might be OK down South. I bought this car a year and about 15,000 miles ago. The tires were near new at that time. I never rotated them like I should have. Now the fronts need replacing. I drive like a grandma. The front tires should not have worn down this fast. I am replacing them with BFGoodrich KDWS G-forces as they were highly recommended by a friend. The EAGLE HP''s are mediocre tires, at best, and suck in the snow. Put these on a light car like my Eclipse and you will be all over the road in a snow storm. My advice is to shell out just a few more bucks for some real tires.

Strength:

Reasonably priced Very good dry traction Quiet

Weakness:

4 out of 4 were out-of-round Vibration when cold Poor traction on wet roads Treadwear could be better

I am somewhat disapointed with the overall perfomance. All four tires were slightly out-of-round. After they were trued and balanced, I still had vibration problems when the tires were cold/cool. The balance was checked at three different shops, and there was never a problem with vibration with the Goodyear GS-Cs that I had before. On a positive note, they have been relatively quiet, and have good traction on dry pavement (wet traction, however, is poor). Treadwear is moderate. I would not recommend these tires.

Strength:

Traction, tread life (VERY little wear after 18000 miles), value.

Weakness:

Can''t find any reason to complain.?

Having had these 205/60-15 Eagle HPs for long enough to drive in every season, I can strongly recommend them as Performance All-season tires. They are quiet and smoothe-riding for a performance tire, but best of all is traction. I have a tough time getting them to make any noise at all no matter how hard I corner on dry pavement, and they are terrific in rain. Very stable on wet highways, giving great confidence. Only average in snow, but that''s only a few days a year, right?Ï
