Goodyear Eagle RS-A2 (OE) 98V (VSB) AS A/S All Season Tire

Goodyear Eagle RS-A2. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All season traction; Enhanced controllability; Reduced road noise levels; . OVERVIEW: The Goodyear Eagle RS-A2 is a performance and high performance, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.The tire promotes great all weather traction. The all season tire compound and the asymmetric tread design enhance the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The special compound manages to keep its flexibility even in colder temperatures, while the aggressive asymmetric tread design splits the tire up to a dry and wet and a winter weather zone to provide maximized traction at all times. The wide circumferential grooves actively resist hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The combination of these enhancements ensures a safer year round performance.The specially designed asymmetric tread pattern improves the tire's controllability. The maintained road contact of the continuous notched center rib enhances the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. As a result, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its responsiveness to the driver's commands and the tire's structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting it. The constant road contact also boosts the cornering capability. The tread design's outer shoulder tread blocks increase the number of biting edges that firmly grip the road surface to improve the cornering and maneuvering ability and power, guaranteeing secure handling.The asymmetric tread design features a variable pitch sequence which offers a quiet drive. The pitch negates the road noise generated while the tires are in motion. It creates a sound frequency that cancels out the road noise the moment is generates during the drive, preventing it from reaching the vehicle's cabin. This results in a quiet and enjoyable driving experience.The Eagle RS-A2 was manufactured with a rim protector. The tire's sidewalls guard the rims while the tires are in transit. In this manner, they protect the rims from accidental curb and any other damage which can harm them, guaranteeing a safer drive. This specific tire is marked with OE as it is the original equipment tire of select vehicles. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
