Tires Goodyear or Giti
I've had nothing but good experiences with Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs on our 3rd gen, 5th gen, and two trucks. Bonus that you can get them studded if you're running a dedicated winter setup or live in weather that requires it.
Had them on my old Ranger and had zero issues on road and 2wd off road camping, and dirt biking. I even got 60k miles out of them (and they still looked pretty good). Very good bang for the buck.
I noticed the higher mileage with Goodyear Fuel Max tires.
Got 2 tires GoodYears A/S for back $170 for both And 2 Goodyears A/S in front for $150 Both have 9/32+ on tread. This site does sell used but I’ve haven’t had a problem with any of there tires. Highly recommend.
Personally I run Goodyear Assurance Weather ready and I've been really happy with them.
I got some real dope good years
I have run Gitisynergy H2 in 195/65R15 size. Where it loses out is sheer feel and dry grip. The sidewalls on H2 are softer, tends to roll a lot, leading to a numb and delayed handling feel. On the plus side, it was very puncture resistant and had wet grip on par with the T005. I did not feel that the tyres were sketchy in the wet. Wear was average - at around 40,000km mark the sidewalls were wearing down into almost nothing and the tyre was becoming a bit donut-shaped.
Ontario here. I had them (OEM warlock takeoffs). They were good the first winter, kinda ok the second winter, useless the third winter. Siping is shallow.
I too have Assurance tires that lasted about half the amount of miles they are warranted for.
I have two sets of these on a pair of 2013,2015 Ford Fusions. 225-50-17.
One tire got a sidewall bubble at a couple months old. Walmart refused to help because I didn't have them install the tires but I suspect they would have come up with other reasons like road hazard to avoid a warranty claim. I was able to talk to Goodyear and have one of their company stores inspect. The cause was a crack at the inner liner splice and air migration into the carcass. They refunded me my purchase price.
A tire on my other car had the same problem in almost the exact same spot also less than a year old. Same result.
Tires are currently 2-3 years old and they have weathering and sidewall cracking. (Parked outside in Michigan). Multiple tires are developing something that looks like a heat ring to varying degrees.
