Tires Goodyear or Laufenn
I have had laufenn z fit eq tyres for the last couple years and they are brilliant. Heaps of grip in the wet and the dry and I have had the grip to brake suddenly to avoid a couple accidents In that time.
The Goodyear reliant from Walmart are affordable and unlike other cheapo tires the side walls aren’t paper thin
I work at Goodyear and they look like normal new snows to me, the softer rubber can pick dirt and other shit up faster than other tire models if not driven in winter conditions if you’re referring to the faded coloration
My local tire store didn’t have the Hankook in stock so I went went Goodyear Electric Drive and I like them quite a bit. There was a YouTube video about EV tires and the Electric Drive also got good ratings across many categories. So they were well balanced. The Hankook have quite a bit less grip than some other brands but that’s paid off in less rolling resistance and better range.
I had Maxlife on my 1.5T and was satisfied
Goodyear band Efficient Grip Performance 2 are the tires installed.
Almost 20000 a year in all weather conditions, very good mileage and no tire noise.
I think the tires are named as a summer tire but they have excellent grip!
Especially in the rain soooo a perfect tire for driving in Belgium.
I run a similar Laufenn on my 1 tonne work truck as my winter set up and they have been excellent. I actually have Laufenn on my sport truck, wifes mini cooper s and my work truck. All have been great. Good traction and well wearing.
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.
Back in the early 2000's I had a set of these on my old K5 blazer (94 model)... They didn't drive like they were made of rubber so much as a hard plastic. I felt the traction was very poor with them. After that I've been running KO2's since. Won't purchase goodyear again.
When they were new, they were great. As soon as they started losing tread my traction in the rain was terrible. Certainly won't be buying these again. Be warned.
