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.

 

he is talking about the new gt not the old gt or gt2,was going to get them for my car but there not made in a 225 50 18 for the front yet..

 

Snow? What's snow.....

 

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.

 

Ahh, you beat me to it....LOL

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.
