Tires FEDERAL or Goodyear
Goodyear Wrangler ultra terrain, awesome in the snow and fairly quiet.
Federal 595's are to my knowledge, the best bang for your buck.
I have used the 595-RSR tires for 8 years now, several sets. yes they are noisy, get worse with miles but I noticed the newest ones were even louder! These tires are the ultimate in grip/handling, one of the few that can put FWD power to the ground. Make my cars handle like its on rails and they don't squeal when pushing to the limit around corners. They are so sticky they pick up all the rocks/debris and throw it up in your wheel wells/rockers. I think they are easily one the best handling tire out there. Very stiff sidewalls, but extremely loud (like louder than winter tires). If you can handle the sound and dont expect a lot of miles out of them, go for it.
On Tuesday, I had new tires put on the car. Nothing special, some goodyear assurance all seasons. The new tires made a big difference in ride quality and handling.
Goodyear Eagle Sport All-Seasons.
I enjoy more spirited driving which sometimes does involve sliding the car a little. However for daily use, they're pretty quiet and are pretty good on tread wear.
I made it just shy of 60k. Now I have Coopers. The Good Years were way better in ice and snow.
Goodyear wrangler duratracs came on mine, I liked them for my first a/t tires. 30k right now, I feel like they could go to 50k but unfortunately there is a nail right on the line of the repairable area in one tire.
In my 20 years driving experience... I seem to recall using goodyear only once. It was ok, nothing special about noise or grip level. But I remember getting a lot more punctures on the goodyears than any other brand I've used. But again, it could just be bad luck.
I got 3 years/70k out of them. Absolute dog shit for traction but they still had some tread when I changed them out for continentals.
I don't like Goodyear or Michelle tires. They don't last for me.
