Tires Firestone or Goodyear
Switched out my old Michelin sport tires with these Goodyear, EV tires and my car cabin noise has reduced by 90% of believe it or not. Feels like a new car.
Another solid budget pick is the Firehawk Indy 500 (basically a baby Pilot Sport but cheaper). I ran them on my old Mk7 and they were awesome for daily + fun drives.
Indy500 - probably my favorite all around tire. Good looking tread, great dry grip, SUPERB wet grip, and also very quiet & comfortable
Firehawk Indy 500. They've been great and also really good grip in winter/rainy weather. I have about 26k miles on them with plenty of tread still. And they're cheap.
Goodyear Eagle F1 Arymetric 6 in 215/45/17. Good grippy tire.
For your Prius and the ’04 Accord you don’t need anything crazy, something like Michelin Defender 2 or Goodyear Assurance will last forever and ride nice.
I got nearly 70K miles out of my CC2's. That's pretty economical. I did go with Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady 2's this time just because I stacked incentives (USAA = 25% off, Goodyear credit card offered $200 rebate). They were really good in this recent NY storm.
Supercar 3Rs were designed to go with the ZLE, when I drove them I would get onto the track at 29psi. A lap and a half ish I would hit 30psi and that’s when it was go time. After 36psi they’ll start to fall off but that was generally about the time a 20 minute session ended.
Good Year tires are not what they use to be. I don't buy them anymore Michelin is way better.
I had Ultragrip Performance G1s on my Kia and they were a pretty bad experience noise-wise, so I'm hesitant to go with Goodyear again.
