Tires DUNLOP or GT Radial
Best bang for your buck is the Dunlop RoadSmart III. You should be able to get 6k+ miles. And they’re plenty sticky enough for spirited riding in all but expert track conditions.
in the end I ended up installing the stock tires Dunlop AT22 which are the best
I'm planning to try the Dunlop Ensave in 195/65R15 because its the only eco focused tire in that size I can find that weighs under 17lbs.
The stock dunlops are actually a pretty good summer tire, they just wear fast, but their grip in the dry once they warm up is pretty good.
The jeep I bought had GT Radial Adventuro AT3’s on (285/70r17) and they’ve been solid tbh.
It was ok up to about 35000 miles. After that, They dangerously hydroplane like crazy. But those first 30000, I really didn’t have much issues.
With its original Dunlop Enasaves our Gen. 4 Prius consistently indicated \~ 62-63mpg in mixed driving. At \~ 42,000mi. the Dunlops were replaced with Michelin Defenders, the mileage immediately dropped over 18% which persisted for nearly 1000mi.
Yea they have terrible treadlife; noticed more than half of it gone at 12k miles, with only 7k of those on the summer tires.
I'm at 31k on the factory 17" dunlops, I'm NOW starting to slide in the rain a bit
I have not been a fan of these tires at all. The stock Dunlops wear quickly and are bad tires for rain and obviously cold weather.
