Tires BFGoodrich or Goodyear
Goodyear Ultragrip was good on RWD 535d, tuned
I like BF Goodrich T/A KSI they are less expensive than Michelin XIce. They have good performance and seem fairly durable
I’ve got a plug in the same spot on some BFGs and it’s held fine.
So glad I made the move. The scorpions were awful and loud. Very happy with our GYs and they still look more like an AT but we have definitely had an efficiency increase
I replaced the BF Goodyears on my '68 convertible last year. They were 36 years old. They had about 5k miles on them. They looked brand new inside and out. They have been inside for 99.9% of their life. The same tires are on my '70 Mach 1, at 32 years. Are the new BFGs I put on going to last 36 years, or is the quality not the same?
Been on 285/75/16 ko2s for 4 years. I also have a four wheel camper I use in summer, I tow my seadoo too. Separately most of the time but sometimes both. No regear. I run sport 4 with ect on. I can run 70-75, you gotta work her on the passes though. But my trucks been great.
I've been happy with the bfg ko3 tires. Noise wise they're similar to the scorpions, but switching from the old scorpions to the new ko3s was like night and day. I've only got about 7k on then but they haven't become any louder yet
I would take a Nexen over most Goodyear tires in the all-season passenger tire market... I honestly don't feel most Goodyear tires are much more than a mid-range budget brand anymore similar to Cooper, General, Falken, etc. They have some excellent tires, but their mainstream lines are nothing of note.
The only thing I didn't put right was I bought good year tires and I'm regretting it. After my engine rebuild, the cheap tires are just too easy to spin in the rain.
I have load range E tires (BFG KO3) on Rock Warrior 17" forged wheels, so I've made that tradeoff too, but am clear-eyed about consequences. Also, loss in MPG and acceleration due to having to spin more weight on each wheel. And incorrect speedometer / odometer readings. And loss in tow capacity (due to giving away torque via taller tires, which effectively decreases gear ratios).
