My RSA's make a horrible road noise. I can't wait to replace them but there is still plenty of tread left. : (

It provides a quieter, more comfortable ride than the Goodyears on the highway. It's not a high-performance tire. As far as performance goes, the only thing good about it is that it's very forgiving and progressive at the limit.. squeels like a pig and breaks free slowly, albeit way early.

I chewed up my EL42's in 12k miles. Then a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's in another 12k miles -- amazing performance tire, great wet grip.
This is true, but you'd think that at least the "sport" model would come with something remotely sporty, wouln't you?

My 03.5 w/sport came with Goodyear Summer tires (GS-D) Nice tires. My Ex had the car for a year, cheaped out and put RS-A's on. Those things suck ****. I'm already trying to wear them out so I can get the new GS-D3's. Hear they are one of the best tires for our stock rims.

more confused

I have the Turanza ER33 on my 2005 Sport tuned sedan also. Not sure why they put a grand touring tire on a sport sedan with sport suspension though.

Mine comes with the all season package which is basically the full size spare. The all season package comes with the "Horrenzas".

Wait, I take that back. There's more traction in the act of sucking donkey **** than the turanza's could ever provide.
I will take your word on that second part!
