Goodyear Eagle LS2

The Goodyear Eagle LS2 is a solid choice for drivers who prioritize dry road performance in a grand touring all-season tire. With dry grip and handling scores of 9.5, it outperforms the category averages, providing a confident driving experience in dry conditions. However, its wet grip score of 5.5 is a significant drawback, falling well below the category average of 7.4. This makes it less ideal for those who frequently encounter wet roads. In terms of comfort and noise, the Eagle LS2 aligns with the category's expectations, both scoring an 8. This ensures a comfortable and quiet ride, which is a key consideration for grand touring tires. The Y speed rating further enhances its appeal for drivers who occasionally push their vehicles to higher speeds. Compared to competitors like the General AltiMAX RT45 and BFGoodrich Advantage Control, the Eagle LS2 stands out for its dry performance but lags behind in wet conditions. Its 45,000-mile treadwear warranty is also shorter than the category average, suggesting a higher cost of ownership over time. Drivers who live in areas with frequent rain or who require longer-lasting tires might want to consider alternatives like the General AltiMAX RT45, which offers better wet grip and potentially longer tread life. The Eagle LS2 is best suited for those who value dry performance above all else and can manage the trade-offs in wet conditions and tread life.
