TL Baines Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Just purchased my first Toyota, 2021 Highlander Premier, which came with Goodyear Eagle tires as original equipment. As a former Goodyear employee I was glad to finally see Goodyear on a new vehicle, my last three had Michelin, Continental and Pirelli in that order. After working for 25 years at Goodyear, mostly in sales, I am very familiar with the Eagle tire line which is known for great handling but not so much for tread life. What concern's me are the reviews I have read which gave low marks for handling as well as tread life. Just curious if any other Highlander owners that have Goodyear tires have any comments about the tires on their vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymondo Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 These Goodyear tires are very mushy, and ride very rough, hate these Eagle tires! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TL Baines Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 This is what I am hearing. Guess when it comes time to replace tires I'll have to look at my options. Now that Goodyear owns Cooper Tire I can consider them and still use my employee discounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Toyota Sienna had Goodyear guarantee all-season tyres, which were replaced under warranty after only 22k miles. When they were brand-new, they were fantastic, but they wore down rapidly and wet traction became a problem as time went on. staying with Michelens moving forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
