Tires Firestone or Uniroyal
I need new tires for my taurus 255/45/19. They're all way too expensive except for the uniroyal tiger paws at $135 per tire. I'll be getting them.
I have 177000 miles on mine, I just went with the value tire. Uniroyal Tiger paws. great so far.
Therefore Firestone builds a tire that doesn't require tire blankets to have a safe level of performance.
A set of studded Firestone winterforce..
7 seasons and still great.
Falken, Toyo, Uniroyal etc are all good midrange. Don't skimp.
I've driven about 200 miles on my new Weatherpeaks on my stock Subaru Outback. I was shocked with how good the tires performed in the downpour. On very wet roads with massive puddles, the Weatherpeaks felt like my old tires did on completely dry roads. Grip was fantastic. No slipping at all. Even when I hit really large puddles at speed I didn't hydroplane. The tires do feel slightly "softer" in the turns when its dry than the stock tires but they still feel great...and are a much smoother and quieter ride overall. Even on dry roads I feel like the car has better control.
Notably less road noise than the fire Stones I had before and pretty good grip. I'm happy with them.
I have been running the 14" tiger paws for over 5 years on my Mk3 2.0 Jetta and have loved them.
I had my factory Firestone’s taken off at 35k and they probably still had another 5-10k mikes left in them.
We just replaced set of Firestones, less than 8000 miles by previous owner, that got hard and tried to disintegrate when we weren’t paying attention; chunks were coming off! Never seen a tire do that before unless it was old.
