Goodyear Eagle RS-A

Anyone slap these baby's on the factory 17's for their Sedan?

Im lookig for an a/s tire to mount on all four corners in the fall, and am considering these.... They're actualy what are used on police cruisers, but have no idea how they're going to be on this car....

Don't assume a [every manufacturer] tire's brand name means it's the same in all sizes and speed ratings.
Police Car H rated tires are very different from the typical RS-A [reinforced sidewalls and more use of Nylon than passenger tires........they care about blow outs not the plushest ride].

A/S tires are a compromise that should be called "Spring and Fall Tires": : Look at TireRacks Wet stopping distances from 50 mph as a clue to how the tire might perform in Cool Weather.

Remember All Seaon are mediocre at best in light snow and worthless in ICE and Cold Weather [below 35F]. Why the make snow tires -- to function below 35F.

What are your priorities in a tire? Handling/grip? Comfort? Noise? Treadwear? Price?

I think there are better tires than the RS-A out there for less money. I'm running a set of Kumho ECSTA ASX all-season high-performance tires, and they're great for daily street driving with a little spirit.

Look at 235/50R17 as an alternate tire size, you'll find a much wider selection of tires. The diameter is the same as the stock 215/55R17, so your speedometer will still be accurate. They fit just fine with no rubbing.
