Tires Goodyear or OEM Volkswagen
Latest all season tires like Good year vector gen3 and Pirelli Cinturato received very good reviews, the former are the first ever tire to get a “good” by ADAC. Maybe worth a look.
I got a good deal on new Goodyear Winter Commands at end of season in the spring, so I’ll be trying those.
Right now Goodyear has a great sale
I have driven on my Goodyear Wrangler Tires purchased at Walmart under 70k miles over about 5 years, almost 6. I am not even bald.
For context I have worked in the tire industry the last 6 years. The 2 Goodyear, which are clearly your new tires, are perfectly fine.
3r is the goated non-slick tire. Rapid pace and great durability during it’s life (3 track days). The only other tires that compete in pace are the cup2R and the trofeo R.
SC3R is excellent. Very forgiving at the limit and just over the limit, easy to get heat into them and they handle heavy loads very well. Probably a better track-day tire than the RE71RS, but I can’t speak to the Nankang. Even when pretty old or near the end of the their life, they retain pretty good limit-handling characteristics, even if they do lose a little pace.
I dailied +0 sized duratracs on a stock 2007 4runner for a few years. At 40psi and they were great in just about everything on weekends. But I hated them on damp pavement (concrete highway specifically on big turns at speed felt like they wanted to slip)
IMP GoodYear is garbage. I had problems with mine from the factory and they stopped making quality tires a long time ago.
Go Michelin - they grip way better in all conditions.
No, the tread rolled off my tire after 40,000 miles and only 3 years old.
