What kind of tires do you have?

My 08 came with Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires, M & S, 205 55R 16, 89H rated.
They seem to grip well in dry or rainy weather (including moderate cornering).
The only complaint I have (and it may not be the fault of the tires as much as an absence of underneath sound-insulation) is that at highway speeds the tire/road noise is so bad that enjoying music on the CD isn't really possible.

What kind of tires did your xB come with?
What do you think of them?

If you got aftermarket tires...what kind and what do you think of their driving characteristics?

Re: What kind or tires do you have?

I got some Nitto Gen's. I forget the exact size at the moment. They are xxx/40 R18 they are very nice. very grippy, and suprisingly quite for such a large tire. I will try and get you the exact size later.

Oh yeah I checked my old tires yesterday. They are the eagles as well but I don't remember how I felt about their handeling since I didn't have them on very long. I will know better this winter when I throw them back on.
