I run goodyear eagle F1 asymmetric 2 on my car. Good for between £70-80 per tyre.
My friend had them on his fiesta st which was putting out 300ft lbs of torque and he had no issues. Also great in the rain.
Continental Extreme Contact for winter and Goodyear Eagle Sport all season. Was expecting to remove the seasonal tires but have not done so in last 2 years. Seventy percent highway/ thirty city. Very good tire in snow and ice. Was not expecting that. Benefits: gas mileage up about 50km per tank, better handling on pavement (less mushy on highway) due to less sipes in tread. Great handling less body roll, crisp cornering.
I have Firestone Winterforce tires on 15" Forester wheels for the winter set and Goodyear Assurance all seasons on 16" impreza wheels for summer tires.
For what it's worth, I used to run the cheapest 235/40ZR18 tires I could find on my Jetta(Sunny brand if I recall), after a few years, I never had any complaints. Paid about $105 each and they seemed worth the money to me and not much different than the name brands($200+ each), at least as far as durability/safety was concerned
Goodyear Supercar 3 needs the most heat. The stickiest of the three. Good trackable street tire.
Goodyear Assurance Triple-tread tires (really love these in the snow/wet, great daily tires!)
Good Year Nordics from Canadian Tire. I loved them, good price, great in slush and deep snow, and Can Tire has a pretty good tire warranty.
I worked at Goodyear for 3 years and you are partially correct. Their quality isn't bad across the board, it is just not consistent. Some are great and last way longer than they should while others are just junk. I had 2 Ultra Grip Winters blow out on me a few hours apart (2 days after they were mounted).
Goodyear.
Vw has used crappy American Goodyear Eagle LS-2 back on the mk4 and b6 passat days. So crappy VW issues a TSB for abnormal wear rates.
