Tires Goodyear or Nokia
I mostly can't get 200tw track tires that fit my car, but the Supercar 3R is a wonder compared to its main competitors in the category of OEM performance car fitments (Cup 2, Trofeo R). Substantially faster, more consistent, and cheaper.
I'm happy to report that after several months of driving I've enjoyed the Reliant a lot. They've been good performers in the wet and are wearing quite nicely.
I see extremely harsh winter conditions and run Sparco Terra 16x7 +35 (bronze) with 205/60r16 Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 Studded on lifted 2023 BRZ 6MT. Wanted as much sidewall as possible for the types of roads I drive.
You should look at Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 or Continental Viking Contact 7. I’ve used both on my Mini and I’ve used Nokians since I got my first Mini. Blizzak WS-90 are good.
The Goodyear reliant from Walmart are affordable and unlike other cheapo tires the side walls aren’t paper thin
Love my Nokian Ones. Seem to be good on efficiency, wear, performance, and price.
I've had the Nokian WRG models for the past 10 years and there's always been a song and dance with each model I tried. The WRG3 were excellent in the snow but the treadwear and dry performance was average (Enough for my driving needs, however). The WRG4 were slightly worse in the snow compared to the WRG4 (Still decent) but leaps better in dry performance and rain. The problem with the WRG4 was the susceptibility to dry rot and overall "wear" from normal driving. They have been punctured, misshapen, and suffered "premature" treadwear compared to what was advertised as the expected tread-life of the tire. But given how well they perform in my 4-season climate state, I would rate them highly. Tire noise is minimal, performance all around is outstanding, and minimal diminishing of performance through treadwear.
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
Coming from OEM 275/60-20 Wranglers.
Recalibrated using a Taser. Noticed a 2.5 mpg drop, using the lie-o-meter.
Noticeable reduction in peppiness and extended braking, but still love it.
I replaced the Michelins on my Lincoln mKX with Goodyear weatheready tires. There is no comparison between the weatherready and the Michelins defender. The weatheready feels like it has a one ply sidewall when compared to the Michelin defender. The old worn out defenders ride better than the new weathereadys, buy the Michelins!
