A set of good years lasts me around 50k miles. I replace at 4/32nds if it is winter/almost winter. If it’s summer I put it off until 2/32nds.
my stock GY wranglers are holding strong through rock climbing and mud.
Even if there's only an inch or two of snow (or more likely icy slush) down on the pavement, you'll notice a difference in traction between all season and proper winter tires.
The only *truly* green tire I know of is the Goodyear Electric Drive 2, which is built to complement electric cars and is made of renewable organic materials -- yet has excellent handling, noise, rolling resistance, tread life etc. characteristics.
I thought they must be crap but after looking into them, they are very well-reviewed. A traction A temp, UHP (ultra-high performance) rated. I like them. You could pay $400/tire for a premium brand but they won't be 4 times better or last 4 times longer.
Ich fahre schon seit Jahrzehnten mit Goodyear Vector All Seasons und damit in der ganzen Zeit nur ein einziges Mal ein Problem, als ich in einer Schneewehe feststeckte und der Reifen nicht greifen konnte. Ein echter Winterreifen hätte das höchstwahrscheinlich funktioniert. Aber solche Schneewehen gibt es ja schon lange nicht mehr. Mehrverbrauch oder schwammiges Fahrgefühl etc konnte ich nie feststellen. Ich würde mal behaupten, wenn man normal fährt, also so einer ist, der ständig an die Grenzen geht, merkt man keinen Unterschied.
Mine was the same way with those tires. I have the Goodyear ElectricDrive 2’s now and it helped a bunch. Quieter, smoother ride, grippier, slippage off the line is no longer an issue, and any loss of efficiency is negligible.
I got mine (22 GT-Line AWD) with Goodyear Eagle Sport tires, and they weren't the best but certainly better than my friend (same model) who had pirelli put on them from the start.
Our 2021 Hyundai Kona Limited AWD came from the factory with Goodyear Eagle Touring 235/45R18s. At 28,783 miles we only have 3/32nds of tred left and will be getting new tires very soon - they won't be Goodyear!
Bought a 2023 GMC 1500 AT4 with the Goodyear wranglers on them. By far the loudest tire I’ve ever heard on a vehicle. From 45-60 you could barely have a conversation it was so loud. I ended up going with the Cooper AT’s and man…. It’s like I’m driving an entire different vehicle. So much smoother, way quieter like zero noise quiet.
