Tires Firestone or Goodyear
after I switched to Goodyear Asymmetric 6, I've seen better cold grip and more stability in mid speed corners.
I've really enjoyed my Firestone Indy 500s. Plenty of grip and they give confidence in the rain.
Reviews put them as extremely close performance wise and I haven’t had any issues with them.
I got the quatrac pro + after trying to use the default summer tires last winter and it being basically impossible to get anywhere. So far no regrets at all amd they have done great with the 8 inches of snow and ice we have had.
I'm waiting on my factory tires to get a little more wear on them before I replace them. However, when I do I know I'm going with a much better set of Firestone tires then what the factory put.
I have Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric 6 as they scored extremely well in all conditions, now a year old and still in great condition.
I replaced my great condition hankook run flats with cheapo firestone weathergrips and they are better in every way. Warm weather, cold weather, rain, snow.. Better traction and ride comfort across the board.
Goodyear Assurance Maxlife are warranty at 85k miles and will last you about 43k miles down to 3/32th.
I wanted to write this because there are almost no reviews on this tire online. Firestone claims it's a big improvement over the previous generation. Traction is good on wet and dry roads. Slippage prediction is also decent. Road noise is fine. Ride comfort (in terms of feeling the road) is really good. Steering responsiveness is ABYSMAL. It's like driving an aquarium on top of a trampoline. Due to the fact the sidewall seems to be made of marshmallows, it's quite terrifying doing any aggressive driving. Highway driving, making turns specifically, is terrifying. Overall: Do not buy unless it's for rears only, or you're driving a car that is exceptionally light weight. If the steering and body movement responsiveness was fixed, this would be an excellent tire. Sadly the responsiveness is so bad, the tire feels legitimately dangerous.
A worker at Discount Tire told me that one of their customers had the foam that is glued to the interior of the Goodyear ElectricDrive 2 tires delaminated and come off leading to the tires wobbling after a few months.
