Tires Cooper or Nokia
I've got a set of discoverer at3 4s as my summer tires and discoverer snow claws for the winter. They're good tires for summer though, especially for the price I paid. Probably 80% as good as a Michelin or BF Goodrich at 60% of the price. The snow claws have been excellent.
I have Nokian one all seasons on my car. Ive had them for a while and they are great so far. they say they can last 80k miles which is a big claim.
Nokian are excellent tires, not sure I will ever buy anything different from now on.
I am using them also. They are as good as the Nokian Hakapellitas I had and cheaper too.
We just replaced the stock Yokos with Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail ATs. Don't have a lot of miles on them yet but they're quiet so far and have performed well in the rain.
used to sell tires for years. starfire or mastercraft were good. they're a lower tier tire produced by cooper that still retain a decent warranty.
My own choice is Cooper, not the cheapest, but it definitely lasted longer than any of my Goodyear or Firestone tires I had in the past.
Nokian tires are great.
You can take a bigger hit in tires alone. For instance, on my stock ContiProContacts, I average 27 mpg with 235/50r18 tires. Same size but with Nokian Z-line A/S, a tire that grips the road much better wet and dry, I'm lucky to hit 25 mpg, usually more like 22 mpg.
I had G-2, G-3 and now G-4. but experiencing dry rot on the G-4's and can't keep them balanced--shimmy at certain speeds even when balanced, and they are getting noisier and noisier--thought I had a wheel hub issue.
