RP28

Needed a new rear tyre on my RWD car urgently and the tyre guy was looking for used tyres to match the Bridgestone Turanza on the other side, then he showed me this and I thought it was a near new Goodyear. It was actually a new Goodride (I should've looked a bit more carefully), and the price was about what I'd expect of a reasonable used tyre, so I didn't realise until it had been on for a while. Terribly slippery in the wet: spins up far too easily, and it isn't hard to get it to let go around corners. It would be dangerous for an inexperienced driver. Let's just say I'm avoiding these like the plague for my wife's car...

Downright dangerous in wet , no grip , no handling , plasticky feel, noisy like nothing else . I am talking here about the humble little , light and fairly underpowered Mazda 2 . Those Goodrich RP 28 tyres are not capable of even handling that load. In the light rain, the car is sliding like it was icy conditions. Front end is under steering even when driving reasonably slow (significantly slower than normal driving) and if you manage to catch up the front end before it hits the curb or a tree , then the rear end will step out as well. It shouldn’t be really legal to sell this rubbish under the safety act. . If there was an option of 0 points I wouldn’t hesitate to click that option. This is by far the worst tyre I’ve ever experienced in 44 years of driving. In my own defence, it wasn’t my car.

I had these tyres fitted on a second-hand car I recently purchased, and I must say they are the worst-performing tyres I’ve ever encountered. The overall feel is stiff and plastic-like. Given they’re budget eco tyres, I didn’t try push them beyond their intended performance range. That said, in dry conditions, they provide an acceptable level of grip, but the real trouble begins when the roads are wet. Using these tyres in wet & cold conditions is literally a safety risk.
In such conditions, even at low speeds, below the speed limit, it isn't hard to break the tyres' adhesion level to make them skid & slide. From a standstill, accelerating without any front load will have you struggling to get any form of decent grip. Trying to navigate a roundabout at ~30-35 km/h, with some weight transfer to the front axle via trail braking, causes significant understeer.
While I understand that my previous experiences are with touring/UHP category tyres like the Continental UC6, Michelin Primacy 3, PS3, & PS4, the performance gap with the Radial RP28 was shockingly huge. I don't expect them to perform anything even close to touring tyres, but I at least expect them to be safe. I am genuinely surprised tyres like these are still allowed on the market, considering their abysmal performance in the wet & complete lack of emergency handling capability.

Were on car (Suzuki Grand Vitara) when purchased. 5 years and 40,000km later I'm finally replacing them.
They're a budget tyre but if treated accordingly do the job. Probably 10,000km have been on unsealed roads. Have held up well considering.
No punctures. :)
Replacements are Goodride probably G118 to get the correct size.

Purchased a car with these fitted and it's downright unsafe. Horrible wet grip, loses traction just going around roundabouts. Dry driving is okay as long as your car has little to no power and would struggle to spin its wheels on take off. Would not recommend anyone buy these tyres, even as a last resort.
