What is the difference between RS and LS tires?

Anyone know what the difference is between RS and LS Goodyear Tires?

They are both the Eagle types?

Most likely price and tread pattern!

rs is more of a higher performance tire where as the ls is more of a passenger tire.. neither comes with a tread warranty... ls is not directional and the rs is an inside outside tread design.

Some tires are directional , the direction they rotate when mounted.
Inside/outside tires have a different tread design and need to be mounted
inside ( toward car ) outside (toward curb The side you see from outside the car) on the rim.
