Tires Firestone or Goodyear
I've been a fan of Goodyear Duratracs on my last 2 trucks (including my current one), specifically LT275/65R20. The aggressive profile looks great, and the 65 profile helps fill in the space in the wheel well without rubbing. The tread is slightly over .5" and I've used them over 65k miles.
I've been getting good service, tires and otherwise, from Firestone for literally decades. Many locations for ongoing service needs and access to history, good road hazard warranty protection, relatively good with appointment timing.
Just swapped in Goodyear Wrangler TrailRunner AT Light truck tires at 275/65/20 on Friday and they are night and day different from the road noise of the Scorpions.
I've been a Goodyear customer for almost 20 years. I've had their Assurance all-season on many cars and suvs. I used to swear by Michelin until I had to buy my own tires. That being said, Michelin at Costco seems ok.
You really need to get the new Goodyear Electric Drive 2's. They're amazing in wet weather and they're whisper quiet with no noticeable loss in range.
I got Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady2 on now and should be OK in everything short of ice.
The short answer is, No. This sub is an echo chamber. It skews very much to the purist side of racing. Reality - The racing is as good as it has been for a long time. The championship race was very encouraging. NASCAR and Goodyear seem to have found the correct tire combo for Phoenix which should help out Gateway and New Hampshire. That was the best Phoenix race we've had in a very long time from a racing standpoint. The Playoffs aren't as unpopular as this sub makes it out to be. Those who are happy are typically not the ones complaining about things on Twitter/forums/Reddit
Habe die Goodyear UG Perf 3 auf einem BMW 5er Touring in 245/45/18. Unauffälliger Reifen bisher (eine Saison). Gehe jetzt nicht ans Limit auf Schnee u Eis und habe Allrad. Sind aber gottlos teuer geworden auch…
They gave me a new pilot and I immediately noticed these tires were not as smooth, comfortable or quiet as the CC2s I had been used to so for me I would say yes. These are just poor quality tires.
I’ve had both the firestones and pilot sports on my corvette. The wet weather grip on the PS is much better. I would fishtail pretty regularly with the firestones. Would not recommend if you plan to drive in the rain.
