Goodyear Eagle NCT 5

Replaced the OEM tires on my BMW with the Goodyear Eagle NCT5. Thank God I bought the Road Hazard, which now is mandatory on each tire now. I have had 11 replacement, yes 11 on 1 set of tires. The ride is rough and hard. I never had to replace a tire on the OEM run flat set in 4 years 4 months. Tires are always on backorder, so I have to wait weeks for replacements. Goodyear then charges me for balancing and road hazard on each tire again. These tires need to be replaced with another model to customers that have purchased them. Goodyear is a better company than this!

These tires seemed OK when first installed. We run them in Canada during the summer months only. As the tires got worn they got extremely noisy to the point of distraction. We just had them rebalanced after winter storage and they run terrible, sound terrible and handle terrible. Estimate that they are about half life on tread wear, but we'll be scrapping them. By comparison our winter tires are much, much less noisy and handle much better.

I've got over 40,000 miles out of this set of tyres and there is still plenty of tread left. Not bad for a heavy powerful car. MPG is good with these tyres and the tracking perfect.

Brilliant durability! 42000 miles of my 'questionable' driving and im finally having to change them, although the front tires (which were the back) probably have a few k in them yet tbh.

The only reason i knock a star off for is the tyres tendancy to aquaplane.

Goodyear NCT5 standard fitment to a brand new VW GOlf Hatch in 2007. 40 months later they are being replaced at 77000km. Absolutly no problems with them in terms of handling, braking, wet weather driveability or in the dry. No doubt the manner in which I have driven has a lot to do with it too. I'm heading back to Goodyear for a new set, althought NCT5's aren't available any longer.

Had a full set put on my Boxster S about a year ago and felt very uneasy from the start! In the wet the back end felt very twitchy. I have now replaced the back with Avon ZZ3 and the difference is astonishing in the wet and dry and replacing the front soon. I know I won't get as many miles out of the Avon's but I would rather have the confidence in knowing I've got some decent grip below me.

All tyres replaced on my 2003 bmw 320d touer at 60000 miles (was then a company car) .Replaced rears at 137000 ,thats a life of 77000 ,The front pair are still on today with about 3ml left at 147000 ,87000 so far..Will replace with same no question...

Had these fitted for 20,000 miles so far. On current wear trend i expect they will just do 30,000 miles. Good grip wet or dry, they seem happy on my AWD car, no unexpected noise or feedback through the steering. A good all round tyre in my view. I understand that they arn't produced anymore?

My Skoda Octovia came with Goodyear Eagle NCT5 91H tyres when new, and now I've gone back to these Goodyear tyres and repalced all four at 56,000km. In the meantime the original front tyres only lasted 36,000 km and I replaced them with economy ones which didn't last as long. So the tyres on the back gave me 56K and there was still plenty of thread on them.

The grip is fine. I drive in rain and sleet on motorways and minor country roads. Surley long wearing tyres means the rubber is harder which gives less grip. Softer tyres offer more grip - I don't believe you can't have it both ways!

My Fusion came with Goodyear Eagle NCT 5 tyres on. I do a lot of motorway driving and don't push it in handling terms so perhaps I'm not typical. However, the front set lasted 47,000 miles and the rear set have now run through 62,000 miles and still have 3 mm of tread left. The Continental Contipremium Contacts that replaced the front set are down to 2 mm after only 15,000 miles so I know which ones I will choose in the future if I were paying!

Grip in snow, slush or ice is poor but a light weight car on 195 wide tyres is never going to be good on any normal tyres. As I live in the Pennines, I carry snow chains and don't rely on the tyre for grip under such conditions.
