self-sealing RS-A's?

My tire was leaking about 3 lbs/week and mysteriously seemed to have stopped. Hmm...only thing I can think of is maybe touching the valve has stopped the leak. The RS-A's are the best thing about the car......42,000 miles and still going strong. When I was 17.....It was a very GOODYEAR....haha

Gosh, I hated my RS-A's. They had the worst wet grip, and only lasted me about 25,000. I now have a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE730s and these feel much better. No more sliding, squeeling, or any of that. Trust me, when you get a new set of tires, you'll feel the huge difference too.

OMG! Get rid of those death tires!! They had terrible wet grip. And not very good dry grip either. They just sucked! You don't know what you're missing by keeping those tires. I used to be scared to drive when it was rainy because the car wouldn't stop and it would slide. My ABS went off a lot in the rain with the RS-As. I would spin the tires at a stop light. It was unacceptable and very dangerous.

well to tell you the truth
I know they don't really stack up since Dodge Neons had them as standard equipment, and Pontiac Grand Ams. They have always spun in the rain. Let me ask you this: do your front wheels spin in the rain? I always assumed it was due to the hp/torque and not the RS-A's. But they do have a legit 42,000 on them.

I have 17" Dunlop SP 5000's and they are a great tire but they still spin in the rain if I get on it. And it a big wide tire 235 45 zr 17, I just put my 15" snows on for the winter and they are horrible. I can haze them on dry roads without even trying, maybe its the size, maybe its the power? But remember, Bigger is better!! Any woman will tell you that

Re: well to tell you the truth
I have Yokohama AVID V4s. They still spin in the rain. But not during normal driving. You'd have to try to spin them in order to spin them in the rain. With the RS-As, they would spin when I was leaving a stoplight normally. I'd rather trade in the tread life for better performance. I feel way safer in the rain without the RS-As.

ive had nothing but bad things with those tires. Glad i got my dunlopsp 5000 - they fit on the SE rims if you didnt know.... had 2 sidewall bubbles on 2 diff tires. besides that they are too expensive and dont cut it.
Only got tire spin when i punched it.
these tires handle hard cornering extremely well.
