These tires were replacements for Toyo Proxes 4 in the same size. I was looking for a tire with longer treadwear than the Proxes, but with a similar level of wet and dry adhesion. The first thousand miles, I experienced the worst tread squirm I've ever noted on a tire. Luckily, I was able to burn this off in one trip. Once broken in, the grip was more than adequate for my needs. It was not quite as grippy in dry weather as the Proxes--not a surprise given the mission of these tires--but does far better in the wet, in snow, and on ice. Further, they are much quieter. By the time the Proxes were at this mileage, they were already starting to make noise; the Eagles are still quiet as a whisper. It is too early to comment on treadwear adequately, but I expect more than the 21k miles I was able to achieve with the very capable Proxes. No significant wear at this time, so better than expected. Bottom line: If you don't need ultimate grip, but still have enough to drive in a spirited fashion on a regular basis, can deal with severe tread squirm with new tires for almost 1k miles, and live somewhere you can get away with all-season tires all year round (I live in Cleveland, where the roads are plowed on a regular basis in winter, so I can), these tires are a good choice. I am, overall, pleased with my choice.
