Tires Goodyear or KENDA
My DuraTracs seem a bit noisy compared to other tires, but I absolutely love them. Have a set on my Frontier and a set on Xterra. I literally have 0 complaints.
I've gotten nearly 70k out of my Duratracs. I'm leaning towards Wildpeaks for the next ones, but I can't complain about longevity with the Duratracs.
The Goodyear Weatherready is a top tier 3PMS tire. Has excellent traction, for an all weather, on ice and snow, Runs fairly quietly as well.
For the tyre you posted, there is only a few mm till you reach the tread marker which indicates that you will need a new tyre again very soon. On the other hand, one of the best premium tyres in the market only costs you around 50-70 pounds for a new one and it can last for 40000 miles
The KRads are so fucking good. Kinda heavy but they last forever.
Kenda AT2 if you plan to off-road and daily drive, RTs if you are wheeling a lot. Made in Ohio, way cheaper, better performance then Goodyear's.
I just installed a set of Kenda 33x10.5r17's and have been very impressed by them. They were cheap to buy, run quiet on the highway, look good, and most importantly did great in the mud this weekend. 10/10 would buy again...
If your car feels like it’s bouncing/bobbing sideways (I’m guessing that’s what you mean by “bubbling”), it’s probably due to the softer material used on the winter tires. I’m running a set of Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady and they show the same behavior. The effect will less noticeable eventually as the tire passes the break-in period.
I had some Kendas on a K75 a decade or so ago and they were garbage.
On my '16 RT, the dealer installed a new set of Kenda KM1 sport touring tires when they prepped it to sell. I've put a couple hundred miles on the tires now, and I'm not crazy about them. Above 55mph, the entire bike feels like it's "squirming" slightly. You can feel a little instability in your hands, almost like you're riding on a highway with rain grooves.
