Not in my experience. I run 32/32 and my tires now have 35k on them, and are good for another 5k or so more no problemo. Wear is about as even as I've ever seen for a tire this far into its useful life. I messed around with a lot of different pressures before settling on this combo, and it's what works best for me.. and definitely no adverse wear issues.

Pros: even wear, long life

Cons: requires pressure experimentation

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 56327 km

I weighed my MCS 17"s on a bathroom scale - 49 lb. That's with the 205/45-17 Badyear RS-A's. My 215/45-16 and 16x6.5" Enkei RPO1/Falken Azenis weighed 37 lb. on the same scale. 12 lb per corner is a HUGE amount, and is extremely noticeable while driving.

Pros: noticeable while driving

Cons: heavy per corner

Vehicle: MINI

My car handles great in the snow with the stock 17" Goodyear Eagle RS-A's. The biggest problem is it gets so damn dirty

Pros: handles great in snow

Cons: gets so damn dirty

Do a search, there's at least two other threads going... Bottom line: Eric at Tire Rack says the best Goodyear tire he's ever driven, and he likes 'em better than the Bridgestone S-03.

Pros: best Goodyear tire ever
