Goodyear Eagle RS-A Police

The Goodyear Eagle RS-A Police is tailored for drivers who demand high dry grip and handling from their ultra-high-performance summer tires. With a dry grip score of 9 and handling also at 9, it clearly caters to those who prioritize performance on dry roads. However, its wet grip score of 5 trails the category average, which could be a significant drawback for those who encounter frequent rain. In terms of comfort, the tire sits right at the category average, which is a reasonable trade-off given its performance focus. The lack of a treadwear warranty means buyers will need to monitor tread depth closely, especially given the tire's performance orientation. The V speed rating is typical for this segment, ensuring adequate high-speed capability. When compared to competitors like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and Pirelli P Zero, the Eagle RS-A Police offers strong dry performance but falls short in wet conditions. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, for instance, offers a more balanced performance across both wet and dry conditions, making it a more versatile choice. This tire is best avoided by those who need reliable wet performance; instead, consider the Pilot Sport 4S for a more rounded option.
