Interesting link to this tirerack.com. Been reading on this AF thread how Goodyears aren't any good in rain and winter. Boy, I disagree on that - but maybe it is the specifics that make the difference. My truck has the Goodyear Eagle LS tires P275/55/20. TireRack doesn't even show them on any comparison lists - so if readers are looking at those lists - remember - everything isn't there.
All I know is living in Western Wisconsin has lots of months of snow, ice, morning horefrosts, and we have lots of hills and valleys and big coulees. We just don't have long stretches of wide open runs like some parts of the country - so I'm not talking about flatland driving. We have challenging driving conditions in winter - and very fun driving conditions the rest of the year - lots of curves, irregular driving patterns, and bluff-top highways and river valley driving. If you're in the East Coast area - think of Connecticut with much tougher weather. My Goodyear Eagles - on my 2wd VHO work excellent - good on ice, great in snow, decent on hills, and great traction on our frequent rains and frost conditions. I dont' know about other brands of Goodyear tires, but I do know they make excellent motorcycle tires, and Chevy/GMC picked them specifically for their SS and VHO trucks - because of handling and all season capabilities for a sport truck - and top it off - they look good. Not the cheapest tire - but a good one IMO. Like I said - I have no experience with Goodyear RT's - only the Goodyear Eagle LS - and that one is a dandy tire.
Tirerack.com doesn't even list all the Goodyear tires. Here is the one I have - the one Tirerack doesn't even show on its listings:
