I recently had to buy a new Goodyear Eagle RSA for my monte carlo ss and was wondering about the cost?

seemed like $236 was high! Why are these tires so expensive??

Goodyear cost tony Stewart from thee wins this year, the tire's are just not cutting it, better tires are Firestone they won the Indy 500 this year(they were the first tire at indy) and , Uniroyal, Yokohama all good brands, Goodyear is over priced and over rated , , They cost more because your paying for what they have brainwashed people with as the best tires , they are ok, very far from being the best. There are well all brands sold in America must pass the D.O.T. Department of Transportation Regulations, to be sold in America, so there are cheaper tires with names you never herd of ,that are equal or better than Goodyear, fact, I have a Indy 500 Fire Hawks on one truck,(same compound as the Indy tire but treadled, and Uniroyal on the other, and Michelin on the other , they all have the same guarantee,you can go to any big tire store and ask them for the equivalent tire that of good year and buy theses you will be just fine , I have been doing this 30 years, there used to be a tire at pep boys called Torque Twisters, they quit selling em in the mid 70's cause they did not wearout, and in 1980 toyo tires were cheap but same rating as the equevelent tire sold hundreds of em, no one heard of em now its a top brand big as goodyear, also sam winston sold the best tire for the money , Winston Tire Lifetime warrenty but when he died they closed and sold out but I dont know to whom, best bet , Go to wall mart they have all name brand tires, all four profesionaly mounted with the letters out ,or black wall, or low pro, and it will cost you under $300.bucks, and free rotation when needed , same with costco and sams club. Sams club is owned by Walmart, hope I help you good luck.
Reply:For that particular tire for that particular car the price is about right.





Why are they so expensive? Why is the car so much fun to drive? A lot of that comes down to the tires which in this case are big, have a high speed rating and very low profile.





Personally though I am not a big fan of the RS-A. I think there are a lot of tires out there that do as well or better for a lot less money. A Firestone Firehawk GT for example is probably a better tire for around $100 less.





Something to keep in mind for the next set. These don't last long anyway.
