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’ve used Nankang plenty of times on my older cars, they were fine. Drove fine in wet, drove fine in dry, no louder than any other tires.
Agree - quality brands make a huge difference. Goodyears are my go to. Have had great experience with Maxlife and WeatherReady
I think it really depends on the car. A fresh set of 13” AR-1 will last 2000-3000km on track on my dad’s Caterham.
I had the Duratracs on two trucks and they lasted a long time and we’re great in snow. However they get super noisy at 50mph speeds starting at around 25k miles.
My experience with Goodyear is from buying used cars. Viva 3s and now reliants and the Goodyear-made Kelly’s. The cheap tires are absolute garbage, considerably harder than Chinese tires but with the same treadlife rating. I get them to spin on a Toyota Camry.
Years ago I bought the lowest end Goodyear tire because i thought if they were going to throw their name on it that they would have at least a medium level of quality. They were absolutely awful. Driving on them on dry pavement was like driving on rain and on rain on ice.
