Tires FEDERAL or Goodyear
Great choice! I did the same and we traveled 27k miles with them so far without issue!
Also the first "modification" I made to my new Rockwood. Goodbye Castle Rock (seriously?) tires and hello Goodyear. I took the wheels to the tire shop myself, the first thing I noticed was how much heavier they were with the new Endurance tires installed. That's gotta mean something as far as reliability, all I know is that the peace of mind was money well spent.
Currently have Goodyear Wintercommands on my '06 Lexus ES. Last ones were Bridgestone Blizzaks. I think I prefer the Goodyears, they handle quite well under acceleration. They were a good price too.
I've had very good experience with Goodyear Weather Assurance tires.
I have Goodyear assurance triple treads on my 97 Town Car. 5 years old and over 100,000 miles also! Almost $400 each but well worth it.
Maine here. I have Duratracs on my 3rd gen and BFG KO2s on my 2nd gen. They do make more road noise than the KO2s, but seem like they would perform better than them in deep mud and snow. Comparatively, going from stock all seasons, my 2nd gen lost a little MPG with KO2s, my 3rd gen had a larger difference in loss of MPG with the Duratracs. The Duratracs also seem to fling up fewer small rocks and stones than the KO2s, which I definitely appreciate.
My buddy ran them for years on his first gen. They are great tires. Did well in any season British Columbia had to offer. They last a long time too.
Note to self, don’t cheap out on tires. (Federal SS 595). These aren’t bad bad but for autocross they need to be better.
I just put new Goodyears on my trailer. One of the 4 was a GY Marathon and it feels so squishy and the sidewalls just feel weak compared to the other Chinese tires so its going in the trash for sure.
I am not exactly sure what comes on these but the Good Year Wrangler AT with Kevlar that came on my Tacoma Off Road were the worst tires I have ever owned in 30 or so years. At 20k miles they were done. Every one had a patch. Every one had slow leaks and the wear was crazy at 20k 2 years.
