Eagle GT's - Anyone had them out in the snow yet?
 
Getting a set put on my '08 G35X. I've read nothing but good things about these tires, but since they've only been out for a few months, I can't find anyone who's written about how they handle in the snow.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I had Eagle GT's on my 89 Chevy Z-24.
They suck once they have 10,000 miles on them and they're absolutely horrible in the snow.
Do you have GT's or RS-A's?
The RS-A's are not much better.

I'm running Blizzak WS-50's in the snow... much better than the OEM rubber.

I'll let you know tomorrow. We are supposed to get snow. I have 50 miles on my new Eagle GT's, so far so good. They are my winter tires on factory wheels. The tread is really deep and they have a snow patch on each tire with sipes. I think they will be good. I'll post some pics later if you want to see them.

OK, here you go. My snow performance impression for the Eagle GT: They are wonderful. We got about 1.5 inches of snow today with some drifting. Some roads were slushy, others snow packed. I went from white knuckle driving to flicking the steering around (1/8 of a turn of the wheel) on streets that were curvy and untraveled after only a few minutes. I never lost traction. I could hit the gas and obviously get them to spin, but with the traction mode engaged the car could not get sideways. Last year I could not get up my driveway with out spinning. This year, no spinning just climbed up my driveway like a tank. I realize these are not snow tires, but they are amazing compare to what I remember about my driving experience last year.

So far, I'm very happy w/ my purchase. Had similar experience in the snow. The grip has been noticable better than the RS-A's I just replaced.

Tirerack reviews were right on.
