Tires Goodyear or OEM Volkswagen
Agree - quality brands make a huge difference. Goodyears are my go to. Have had great experience with Maxlife and WeatherReady
I recently (this year) bought Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate in 255/40/19 and they have been absolutely great in the dry and wet so far. They also get some pretty high, respectable scores in Tire Rack's testing
Just got them installed on my MY today. Seem to be more grippy and a little less road noise.
I bought a 2013 last year that has Wrangler A/T's and they have performed great. They haven't slipped on me once in the New England weather.
I ran them through until they needed replacing, had no issues minus slippage in muddy steep terrain which is not super common in the AZ desert.
I bought them for my model 3 based on the TireRack video that praised them as the most comfortable/quiet of the test group. More so than the Ion Evo which people seem to be raving about. I don't have anything to compare them to unfortunately, but I like them a lot. They're quiet while giving a very composed feel.
I’ve had a set of the original Goodyear ElectricDrive on my Model Y since they came out (about 18 months ago). They have been great! Tread looks like it may last 50% more than the Continental original tires.
I have since transitioned to a set of Goodyear Wrangler A/Ts (275/60/20) for the past year and a half.
The best I’ve gotten was shy over 19 MPG (19.3-19.5) but average 17-18 MPG highway, same speeds 65-70 MPH.
City is around 14-16 on average.
Back in the early 2000's I had a set of these on my old K5 blazer (94 model)... They didn't drive like they were made of rubber so much as a hard plastic. I felt the traction was very poor with them. After that I've been running KO2's since. Won't purchase goodyear again.
When they were new, they were great. As soon as they started losing tread my traction in the rain was terrible. Certainly won't be buying these again. Be warned.
