Reviews: Goodyear 225/40ZR18 Tire, Eagle Exhilarate - 104002568

The car rides so much smoother on my Mercedes 250CLA Awesome

Purchased these as a replacement for OE Summer only tires. Ride comfort is great for an UHP Tire. Grip is amazing in the corners and solid traction in various road conditions. Very impressed with the level of performance and technology in this tire.

Tires have met my needs perfectly on my 2016 Challenger RT. Smooth ride and excellent traction. No complaints so far.

Father time necessitated the replacement of the Fierce Instinct ZRs that had served me well for 8 Summers. Recommendation for my type of driving ( limited annual mileage/no Winter driving on this particular vehicle) was the Eagle Exhilarate. Very impressive handling on both wet roads and "quick" curves that just seem to beckon rear wheel drive sports cars. Seems to be a bit quieter than the ZRs although when driving top down at highway speeds - tire volume is a bit tough to guage. Overall - they have that confident feel to them especially braking effect on wet surfaces.

I have a 2012 Buick Regal GS. Original tires were Eagle RSA, it was a good, quite tire but hydroplaned. After 40k Miles I replaced with Eagle F-1, while both dry and wet handling where excellent, they were noisy tires. I purchased the Exhilarate and have been extremely pleased. They are made in the US, they are made out of US grown soybean oil. The tires are extremely quite, to the point that I find myself going way over the speed limit because of it. Great wet/dry handling, as well if not better than the F-1. I cannot speak to snow conditions yet. The only negative is I don't find the tire to be as attractive as the F-1. The F-1 has a more squared off sidewall to tread tire design, and the rim protector was both functional and aesthetic. It is my understanding that the Exhilarate tires will replace the F-1, which is ok in my book as I am very pleased with these tires.

These tires grip great in the dry and rain. I have not had a chance to drive in the snow yet. Just a heads up They do produce road noise. But overall well worth it

I have only had these tires on my 86 Mustang GT for a few days, but I have been blown away with their performance so far. With a modified high performance suspension and brakes, I have struggled with finding tires that provide a comfortable ride while providing high performance, quietly. These new Eagles do all that, plus they look great. They are very predictable at speed, under heavy braking, and cornering, and they never let out any squeals. They seem to take everything I ask of them with no drama or complaints. I won't be driving them in ice or snow, but I look forward to driving them in wet conditions. I am sure they will be great there too.

I bought these tires to replace my previous set of Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric A/S tires. The old tires were solid performers, but these new Exhilarates are, well - exhilarating!! Love the immediate steering response and tons of grip no matter how frighteningly fast I go on very twisty back roads for the sheer fun of it. The tires inspire confidence in all driving conditions from calm to very exciting. And the ride is so comfortable. The tires soak up bumps and road irregularities effortlessly, and are whisper quiet too. What a great combination of performance and comfort. I just got the tires a week ago and have put less than 100 miles on them only in dry weather, but I expect the wet performance will be stellar. Can't wait for it to rain!

Great tires again Goodyear!!!!! Love them!!!!! Amazing tires for that sport enthusiast in all of us. Great grip and handling. Very quiet and extremely smooth ride. Can't say it enough. I love them!!!!!

I would definitely recommend these tires, they offer sharp handling while also providing compliant ride not harsh or noisy. Haven't tried them yet in the rain or winter conditions.

I noticed the difference in the first week of driving my vehicle

Overall very happy with the GY's. Great ride, low noise, great traction in wet weather. Installed in early March, one small run in snow and they did great. Only reason not 5 stars, have not been through a big storm.

These tires should have come with my 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback, but instead I got some Yokos, designed just for the Corolla. I removed the Yokos after 2000 miles and could not be happier with the Exhilarates (225x40R18) on 8 inch wide wheels. The Corolla hatch, though not fast, is fun to drive around curves and these tires have dramatically improved the handling, dry and wet, and the road feel. I live in Austin, Texas, so no snow but lots of heavy rain. So far (4 months winter and spring, 2K miles), and a variety of surfaces and speeds, I have not been able to break them loose in the rain. Tested down to about 35 degrees. A little bit of hum on rough surfaces, a firm but not harsh ride, I would say these tires are on bubble between AS and UHP. An enjoyable, confidence inspiring ride. If the tires last to 40K, and continue to perform at this level, I will buy them again.

Bought a new 2019 Cadillac XTS Premium Lux that came with 20in Bridgestones that were so loud I couldn't take it. (I had traded in a 2018 XTS that had GY All season 19in that I liked them very much.) I showed my Cad dealer this tire on the website, dealer bought them put them on no charge. I picked up the car and instantly could tell a difference, the ride was better and it was much, much quieter! The next day I drove SF to Vegas, 8 hours 1,200 miles RT, freeway, 80 mph, hit a rainstorm these tires were great, in the mountains through curves were great sure-footed, on flat grooved pavement=Great. Rough roads=Great. What a nice well mannered tire, lots of grip, very quiet. I would highly recommend these tires.

I purchased a set of these tires for my '10 Camaro SS. I've always trusted Goodyear tires, and so far, these tires have not disappointed. I don't plan on driving this car in the snow, since it's my sprin/summer car only. The traction and grip are outstanding!

My experience here was excellent. The gentleman that helped me was courteous and knowledgeable, my SUV was serviced promptly and efficiently. Overall a very good experience.

Needed a new set due to my others beings shredded. These were price matched, which was awesome. Handling and traction is on point for dry and wet. Unable to gauge snow due to a lack of. Overall, great tires that grip, with minimal noise.

So far, very impressed with wet and dry traction and handling. Quiet on the road and they look good, too!

Only had the tires for a few months, but loving the ride. Traction has been excellent on wet and snowy roads.

Just took them up to the rain and snow in Tahoe on my Audi A4 Quattro. Solid grip and good handling and braking on wet, slushy, and icy roads. On dry roads, quiet and smooth on all the usual paved surfaces, and nice confident and predictable lines through cornering on twisty roads.
