Tires Goodyear or NANKANG
Well, I’m the OP, and I ended up getting a set of Goodyear Wrangler Radials 235/75r/15. It’s been about 4 months with these tires, and these ride really cushy and soft which I like, compared to the Kumho regular all season tires that I used to have which used to ride like complete trash over potholes and bumps.
Also, the Goodyear wrangler radials have pretty good traction even in the rain, and surprisingly quiet for an all terrain tire.
I got the Goodyear Reliant on my 2016 Crosstrek and they are very nice and ride especially quiet. Very happy with my purchase for the price paid.
I got 50k out of a set of OEM LS-2’s on my AWD Ford Fusion. Not a Goodyear guy at all, but these tires were very good.
I run Goodyear EagleSports ($125 a tire) all seasons and they’re fantastic. Had them for 4 years now and they’ve gotten me thru everything from 1/2ft of rainfall to 2ft of snow all without losing grip.
I would. Ran my 10 yr old Goodyear on the old RV til bald and one developed a crack after 2k miles but then I replaced them with Sailuns' TERRAMAX for another few thousand in 3 years and hit Colorado narrow trails in the 1977 class c sportsman those terra max amazed me.
Running 19” Goodyear assurance maxlife. Overall satisfied with these tires. One little quirk is they grab grooved pavement more than the stock Toyo’s. This causes a noticeable side to side sway in the car.
i got almost 6 years out of my goodyear assurance. little louder road noise, but i feel safe with them. towards the last few months of the old tires i could feel them slipping a little if i went over anything like sand, losing traction at startup, etc.
Been running these on my JKU for three years now. They tend to get much louder as they age. They're great in snow, but not very good on ice or even wet roads.
The stock Goodyear wranglers are shitty tires. I had 4 flats in 6 months with them. And ride quality/handling wasn’t great. But I’m a cheap ass and got 30k miles out of them.
I’ve only purchased Michelin for many years now. When my stock wranglers looked similar to OP’s photo, I put Michelin LTX M/S on and never worried about tires again - until this week.
70,000 miles later and the Michelins are finally at the end of their journey- going to replace them with Michelin Defender LTX since the M/S line is discontinued
The wranglers on my 2016 were past the wear bars bald, completely slick, by 29K miles. They single-handedly guaranteed I’d never have another set of Goodyears for as long as I live.
