Tires Goodyear or Nokia
I changed my dads nokians for the first time. He always went to the dealership before. It's a 2015 4runner he bought new, and put new nokians on that winter. The nokians are from 2013. And they are still soft and not a hint of dry rot. The 4runner is garage kept, as are the tires. People here will lose their brains, but they are in much better shape than my 4 year old Continental winter tires.
You really need to get the new Goodyear Electric Drive 2's. They're amazing in wet weather and they're whisper quiet with no noticeable loss in range.
MSW type 52 & nokian R5s . The gloss black looks just like the OEM darks, and are quite affordable. R5s review very well as a winter tire
I got Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady2 on now and should be OK in everything short of ice.
Get some Nokian tires, I am super happy with mine (piggfri) as it's a rear wheel drive, and we like to get sideways. But the grip is amazing, love these tires. Kost about 7 000kr for a complete set. And it is worth it.
The short answer is, No. This sub is an echo chamber. It skews very much to the purist side of racing. Reality - The racing is as good as it has been for a long time. The championship race was very encouraging. NASCAR and Goodyear seem to have found the correct tire combo for Phoenix which should help out Gateway and New Hampshire. That was the best Phoenix race we've had in a very long time from a racing standpoint. The Playoffs aren't as unpopular as this sub makes it out to be. Those who are happy are typically not the ones complaining about things on Twitter/forums/Reddit
If its one thing to NEVER be stingy on, is winter tires, especially in Norway. I've never even heard about these tier makers and I find it sus. Go for nokian hakkapeliitta, it's a brand driven and tested in nordic countries for decades. More pricy? Yes, definitely, quality is high and they know their stuff. But sure, buy some cheap made Chinese made tiers that will be worn out by the end of the year and probably serve you shit to nothing in terms of safety when its needed.
These Goodyear dura tracs will not die, 60,000 miles,noisy as hell and no traction when it rains.
Note to self to never buy Nokian, those things are toast.
Bought these Nokian One tires brand new less than 2 years ago. DOT code shows they were manufactured 2 years ago.
Mechanic says it's dry rot and I need to replace them in a few months max.
