Tires Goodyear or Cooper
Goodyear reliant at Walmart is very good $77 same as Goodyear assurance, they drive great I've had 4 sets on several cars
I ride the tires at 42 psi and currently w/ new Cooper Instincts at 44 psi returning comparable mileage.
I have a 2010 Subaru impresa. I drive 4 miles a day. I put nice rims with pirrelli p7's and the original rims I put goodyear snow tires. Seasonal swap. Well worth it.
Walmart has a Black Friday deal every year for their Goodyear tires. I never have a problem with them.
Goodyear related: I remember the F1 dsg3's (IIRC) that were OE on the MK4 GLI 1.8t. being one of the best wet weather tires I had experienced up till that point.
I picked up some Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail ATs for my 2017 RAV4 AWD, in 235/70r16. I haven't seen many reviews of these yet, so I wanted to give some of my thoughts. I've only had them for about a week so I can't give any advice on how they'll hold up, but I have loved them so far. In central PA, we've also had a nice variety of weather in the period since I've gotten them, so they've been tested in several conditions already.
* Wet Traction - 9.5/10
* Really confidence-inspiring wet grip. This is always a question mark with AT tires, but absolutely no trouble at all with these. Braking is especially impressive, even in standing water.
* Dry Traction - 8/10
* Nothing to complain about here - stopping distance and dry traction are both more than adequate for an all-terrain tire.
* Snow Traction - 9/10
* Really impressive snow traction. I tested in deep snow and a variety of slushy conditions. The RAV4 had no trouble at all going through 4-6 inches of snow (on grass), even even starting up a hill in those conditions provided no trouble at all. Braking is also impressive in the snow, inspiring confidence on my snow-covered driveway.
* Comfort/Noise 8/10
* They definitely are a little bit stiffer going over bumps than the standard all-season tires that were on the vehicle before, but nothing I would consider to be viscerally unpleasant. Noise is relatively silent, with the addition of maybe a very slight hum at highway speeds.
Overall, I have absolutely no regrets with my purchase, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these for a person who is interested in a fairly rugged tire that can handle all conditions adequately.
Goodyear Assurance Weather Ready. Liking these tires in the snow.
It's the cheapest tire that's kept in stock at my Sam's club. There are probably longer lasting budget tires, but there are far worse.
They are a softer rubber with less tread than the other Goodyear options. So they must be rotated and maintained or you won't have good mileage out of them.
Alignment, air pressure, and general maintenance will cause tire issues regardless of the tire type though. So again...it's a very average cheap tire.
Mine were horrible in the rain. I swapped them out for Cooper AT3s.
I got 3 years/70k out of them. Absolute dog shit for traction but they still had some tread when I changed them out for continentals.
