omg...............RS-A review..... http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....del=Eagle+RS-A

I have them as OEM on my 6th gen and theres a decent amount of tread left, but they feel like there is almost none left! Turning left or right from a stop, not even pushing the car they sqeual like crazy, and i'm not even pushing them! But they sound pretty cool when you floor it cause they spin forever! Not once have I heard a good review about the RS-A on the org.

And I have no idea about the other Goodyear

Hope this helped a little

look up in the stickies. You can do much better than the crap RS-A's (which are OEM on my wife's Mazda and suck, IMO)

Because they're OEM replacements of several popular cars, not just the Maxima. Most average Joe would choose OEM replacements for their cars, even if they have to pay more. Heck, they even change their engine oil at the dealer.

Stay away from Goodyear RS-As, they are OE, and nothing special. They were cheap for Nissan, and then everyone charges up the *** just because Nissan put them on the vehicle. They are a cheap tire with a high price tag.

I have no experience with the ResponsEdge and I can't sell them for the life of me! Then again I don't even try to, wanna hear my spiel? "You see, this piece of the tire is good for this, this piece is good for that, so no matter what condition you're driving in, only that part of the tire is good for it!! lol

If you're set on Goodyear, then the Assurance TripleTred is an outstanding tire. But if you like comfort, get Michelin HydroEdge or Goodyear Assurance comfortreds, if you like performance, get V-Speed rated Yokohamas, their H-Speed tires aren't very good from what I hear.

Obviously you didn't get it.

The person made a statement "Those are decent tires as long as you stay in LA"

Once it rains RSAs have ZERO grip, hence the stupid question.

I cannot be responsible for you being slow. And remember..at maxima.org, don't hate - PARTICIPATE!!!

I apologize, but I don't think you get it. I was referring to G-Force Sports, not RS-As.

And I DID QUOTE what I was referring too. (The BFGs)
