Honda Civic 1.8 Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle RS A given 42% (205-55-16-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
Not a terrible option if you're looking for essentially a summer tire. These claim to be all seasons but the snow and ice grip are awful. You constantly are loosing the front end and suffering from under-steer under the littlest of throttle input in the snow. Even when just coasting, when on snow these do not feel planted and feel vague. I have even lost traction in the wet when it was room temperature outside numerous times. My stock Honda civic shouldn't be able to accidentally peel out for a continuous 3 seconds straight just from a 1/2" puddle of water. The dry traction is solid, nothing to write home about but its one of the few decent things with these tires. Good handling and feedback too, average comfort.

To summarize:
Pros: Good handling and feedback, good return to center with the steering wheel. Good dry grip.
Neutral: Average comfort and noise, nothing really noteworthy in those departments. Decent wear as well.
Cons: Awful Snow and ice traction, not up to par with new England winters. Bad wet traction too.

Would I recommend these?: Only under one condition, you've got a good deal on these and live in let's say Arizona or any other hot, dry climate where rain and snow are very very uncommon. If you're paying say $650+ for a set of these, you likely have much better options for that price and should just get real summer tires that preform well. If you live in New England like I do, I would highly recommend almost any 3pmss all weather tire over these. Do not buy these if you have a lot of snow and plan on using thee during the winter. I was happy to finally get rid of these when I did.

These are good tires. Love them over the Dunlop LM705's that I had earlier on my Corolla. These drive well in both dry and wet and excellent grip on bendy roads. Comfort is good too for the first 5,000 miles. Definitely recommended.

Driving on a combination of roads for 52000 average miles
Excellent Tires on wet and dry with impeccable braking. Handling is superb and saved my life couple of times where other types would have given up but they kept me planted on road. I have driven them for 52k km by now. By only issue with them is that they are a bit bumpy as compared to my mc5 and advan v552. But then it performes way better than either of two. Moreover I developed bubble in two of my tires before it hit 50k and hence now I am using v552 in one of my rear wheel and planning to get 2 new cpc6. tread is almost 70% gone in front and 50% in rear. Please note that these are mostly used on motorways.

Driving on mostly town for 50000 spirited miles
I have experienced Mc5 and they are more comfortable and somewhat quite than PC6 equipped in my car. Mc5 lasted me 50k km and they are still fine though they have turned hard now. Although CPC6 got bubble in 2 tires before it could hit 50k; mc5 never got that issue. I would like to mention that MC5 are mostly used in city while cpc6 are used on car which is mostly used on motorways. Both are excellent tires. You couldn't go wrong with either of them. If you want comfort with adequate grip go for mc5. If you can compromise on comfort but want some thing which handles like a beast and never disappoint you on high speeds. Get cpc6

Driving on a combination of roads for 7 spirited miles
They grip surprisingly well for an all season tire in the dry and snow. I have these mounted on a 8th generation Honda civic sedan with the r18 engine and these tires have me absolutely glued to the ground. I replaced my old Goodyear eagle "all season" tire which had the snow performance of a summer tire in the snow and didn't even preform well in wet or dry. But back to the vredestein, I once was screwing around (dry, 65°f) taking a highway exchang ramp a bit too fast, I hit one rather sharp bend at probably 55+mph and didn't break traction for a second, no tire squeal or anything. Another time (30°f, snow) I had to go to work before the roads were plowed (about 4" of snow on the ground). I got geared up and headed out. The tires gripped very well. I would hit understeer going up steep hills that had thick slush underneath but I was able to pass an SUV barely going 8mph and once I got close to my work I was having an easier time than some 4wd trucks. And for the wet, what used to happen to me in my Goodyear's was that I would be at a stop and have a narrow opportunity to go so I would gun it, but my tires would peel out and I'd be stuck in the middle of the damn intersection going maybe 10mph. I almost got T boned from that once lol. Once I got the vredestein I tried to replicate this. For the first few weeks everytime it rained I would gun it from stops trying to break traction with no luck. Eventually I got frustrated and lined my front tires up on a freshly painted soaking wet stop line and slammed the gas pedal. I was able to get a "squeak" on the paint but once I was on pavement I launched right off. Overall, for me these tires are perfect, everything I want without being too expensive. I paid about $750 USD for these to be mounted and balanced which is about what I expected.

The design of the tire is good. But the handling is so terrible! My car is all over the road and there's nothing I can do to prevent it. The side walls are way too soft.

I've used it around June 2022 and by Jan 2024, 2 front tire got sidewall, one of it was just give minor sign. My first impression first time using it, was quite good, the noise was minimal, the dry&wet grip was also above than average, which I was pretty happy. The downside is only its lifespan. it's pretty quick for me, as this tires just rolling around 45000km only, most of the time using normal city road, maybe normal city road in Malaysia quite rough for it.

I was talked into these tires by a KAL Tire dealer in BC Canada. They told me these tires were "EXCELLENT" in wet conditions. We get alot of rain so I figured they would be a good choice. WRONG... these tires are TERRIBLE on wet pavement!! They do better on very wet roads in regards to not hydroplaning, but have abysmal traction on a regular wet surface. I drive a 2015 Honda civic with a manual transmission and it's common to have wheel spin when on wet roads. Cornering on wet roads is just as bad with the tires losing traction easily even at low speeds. They did pretty good in the snow (to give them some credit) but since it only snows about 3 weeks a year, for me that's not important. Overall considering they were sold and endorsed as an "excellent" wet tire I'm extremely disappointed. There quite loud too and seem to be getting louder as they wear. I would never buy these tires again and am not surprised they rank in the bottom 10% of this list. I wish I had done more research before buying

I bought the tires after looking Yokohama Made in Japan 4419 built and got on in 2020 but they last only 20-25k. Not a value for money. Having weaker side walls, the tire blooped out like Dunlop. Not buying again.

Despite very bad first impressions, the overall evaluation is not that bad. First impression: Within the first week one tire became punctured. Somehow, somewhere, mysteriously. It was during that craze at the end of 2020 when everyone's tires were seemingly mysteriously punctured and there were no police reports about it (plot twists: maybe someone caught those perpetrators and beat them up without involving police). The interaction with the manufacturer/seller left a bad impression. They advertise that they can refund the bad tire, but with a super mighty big asterisk. You must buy the fifth tire, then send them the bad one, where they will inspect (abroad). If they decide it's their fault, they will refund the shipping and the fifth tire costs. But if not, then you're done screwed. The bad tire was fixed, and I have decided not to risk it, and just not buy the fifth crappy tire for the car with 4 wheels, like an extra leg for a dog. The dry grip is ok. Nothing super exciting. Don't push it though. The wet or not super dry grip - not overjoying. It does the job - it grips. But the stability controls lights will flash occasionally. It is wearing ok. No complaints. Not sure how long it will last. I will not buy a Nokian again though. Bad first start, and horrible customer terms are repelling me from ever wishing to deal with a Nokian again.
