Tires Goodyear or Cooper
I moved to the Goodyear Wrangler Territory ATs. They're a smidge smaller at 33in (stock is 34in), and they are NOT an LT tire. There is a Rivian specific model of this tire, so be specific when ordering. They're significantly quieter on pavement, but still have the AT look. They also maintain the 3PMS rating (which is why I wanted to stay with an AT). I go off-roading a few times a year, and will be testing these off pavement in a few weeks. Most users report good to excellent traction as compared to stockers. Effeciency is largely the same. Environmental factors and angle of your right foot have a bigger impact on range than the tire swap as best I can tell.
BF Goodrich on my truck, since I need to take it off the pavement a lot, but Goodyear on my regular car. Boy I hope my tire shop remembers what's on my car... they're freakin incredible in the snow, better than my 4x4 truck lol
On the trucks we use Goodyear Wranglers, they're a really fantastic long lasting tire. The set on the Yukon lasted almost 80k miles, granted they're at the end of their life, but that ain't a small number.
The goodyear AT adventure reinforced with kevlar are great, good grip off road, and super quiet on road
bumili ako this year ng good year maganda kahit 2024 stock.
Ja sam uzeo Goodyear Ultragrip. Zadovoljan sa njima i drže kao lude. Naravno, ako se vozis unutar granica normale.
I just replaced the tires on my wife's XC 60 with Goodyear Weather Ready 2's because we also live where it snows.
I drove the Vector gen3 for two winters just because they came almost brand new with my car. I am a very calm and mindful driver and my suv is 150hp (awd) and top speed 170 km/h, so the performance never felt lacking , including druring blizzards and on shiny slippery ice. That's with my driving style and without mountains, mostly flat roads. But I feel that if you constantly push them to the limit, you may get mixed results. Especially on compacted snow with frozen tire tracks, it can be quite unsettling experience. I think the excellent awd made it feel sufficient, but I never felt completely stable and completely safe. All-seasons are usually a bearable compromise and aren't excellent at anything. This Goodyear felt rather solid and just the fact I could drive in 40C and highway speeds, and in -15C in snow is very impressive. BUT at only 3 years old they were already dry rotting and all cracked, to the point one started leaking through the sidewall. Tread wear was also very rapid. The Goodyear had so much noise, including some vibrations and even a loud roar at high(er) speed. I honestly thought it might be my rear diff indicating it wants an oil change. I didn't know it was all just from the tires. Now I only hear some slight wind and nothing else. I guess the all-season compound baked during the summer and lost its qualities, just as the winter compound would.
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.
The one I personally actively avoid is Goodyear. I've only ever had one decent set of them and the rest have dry rotted faster than any other set I've bought. Their performance wasn't awful but even burning through a set of tires every 24-30mos, I shouldn't be starting to worry at 18mos when the tires are sporting lots of visible dry rot.
