Tires Goodyear or KENDA
Goodyear reliant from Walmart are still on sale, I have them on my beater, they’re great!
If you are also borderline on needing summer tires, buy Goodyear Assurance Weatherready tires. They are not snow tires, but are the best all-season tires for snow.
The best tire I have found for this setup is the Kenda K161 Knobby Cross 27x1-3/8 Gum Wall Tire. I have a set on a city bike of similar vintage and geometry and they're really quite good.
Dedicated snow tires are not required, but they do help. That being said, we have 3-peak *all-season* tires on our vehicles (Goodyear WeatherReady) and find they do a decent job and do better than regular all-season tires.
When I changed my Trofeo Rs to Goodyear Supercar 3R’s - that also saved about $1300 and they last 4K miles longer.
For context I’ve got them on a 2012 ford focus FWD, and they’ve absolutely blown my mind with how good they are in the snow. Great tires Goodyear
For example the K193 Tires were made to be super puncture resistant at a higher PSI than the first K Series(100PSI) but due to budgeting, they had to sacrifice handling, and also some rolling resistance, they do roll nice but not the best, they handle like crap, and aren’t not safe in the rain despite being advertised as such..lol… they also wear like iron, after 8,000 miles i still have life left them in and never had any puncture issues compared to other tires.
I have a set of RT's on my truck. They were put on at 59,000 miles...my truck has 133k miles on it now, same tires..and I'm JUST now about to put a new set on...but don't absolutely have to yet. I'm fed up with the road noise as they wear down
I had a set of kenda tires. They look aggressive but are the most slippery tire on the road. I wouldn't buy them again.
2yrs - had to change all tires, merong factory issue yung original good year
