I have factory EAGLE RSA tires and they are wayyyyyyyyy loud, and I was wondering if anyone who had the RSAs and bought the highly rated Bridgestone Turanzas notice a much quieter ride and/or more comforable ride?

 

I am still running the stock Goodyear Eagle RSAs (53,000 miles) and have noticed no noise problem with them. Unfortunately, I blew a sidewall out of one of them about 8,000 miles ago and the spare is now on the right rear and I can no longer rotate them. The left rear is in better shape than the front pair as a result. If that hadn't happened I think I could have gotten 60,000 to 65,000 miles out of the 4 tires. Not sure what to get next. Any ideas out there?

 

I blew out the side wall too at 8000 miles. Fortunately, i purchased a warrenty for the tire from Goodyears. Yes they do have rode noise but not sure if it's the tires or the car. But anyway, people were talking in getting the Yoko, which are better. Don't know. I've got another 50,000 miles to go.

 

I removed the RS-A's off of mine, and replaced them with the Dunlop Sport A2. Actually like the new ones. They were a lil cheaper then the RS-A's, but I didn't comprimise the ride.

 

Dat be me.......I replaced my Pilots -with 9k miles on them, if u can believe it- with the Turanza LS-Vs because I could not stand that harsh drone of the Pilots on the rough concrete roads (damaged from the use of studded tires) here in Oregon...with the Turanzas and my car is now fun and nice to drive again.

The Turanzas will flat-out transform your car: they have about the same amount of dry grip as the Pilots, almost equal wet grip and are much, MUCH quieter and smoother than the both the Pilots as well as the Potenzas.

Likewise, they will be MUCH quieter and smoother than the RS-As, tires I remeber well from my '97 SE

 

I had RS-A's on my 1996 Monte Carlo I had before my maxima, and I didnt notice a loud ride, but then again, the montes engine on it was quiet a bit louder than the maximas.
