Tires Goodyear or Nokia
I use all season Nokian Seasonproof 2 for driving around Europe. This year it was quite a harsh winter in Poland and I couldn't be happier with their performance.
*Nokian Hakkapeliitta are amazing tires. Have never had any issues with these. The noise isn't too bad and the rubber is still in great shape. Now saying this, this is the last year i can use them according to the internet. Still look almost new, bought 8 years ago, store inside during the summer. Again still in amazing shape, and honestly the best snow tire ive ever had. The longevity on these is absurd.*
Get yourself a brand new set of nokian hekkopolita 10 studded winter tires.
The Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady2 won Tire Rack's first place overall rating last year. The weaknesses of this tire are noise and fuel economy, and even in those areas, their performance is above average. Excellent heat/cold, wet/dry/snow performances on track and on skid pad testing.
The Rav4 with these tires did a fantastic job on snowy interstate, and through snow-covered Berkshire mountain uppy/downy roads with multiple inches of snow on them. My biggest complaint is the sensor warnings stopping me from being able to monitor AWD activity on the dash. Otherwise no complaints and significantly increased confidence in inclement winter weather.
Kelly Safari A/T. Made by Goodyear. I got load range E for rock climbing but also comes in C. 3peaks snow rated. My second set. My used FJ came with a set on it. Rides great on the highway too.
I like Goodyear Assurance. But I'm only one person! I do avoid Kumho tires - I hated them on my car.
The Goodyears don't last long at UTQG of 580. But at least they are cheap at under $300 each.
I got Goodyear Reliants and absolutely regretted. By far the loudest tires I've ever had.
Goodyear tires are notorious for doing this. Several factors play a role on why this happens. Overweight from running low air pressure, vehicle sitting for a period of time in the sun.
