Tires Goodyear or VITOUR
Just got them installed on my MY today. Seem to be more grippy and a little less road noise.
Sunday I'm doing my first event on the Vitour P1, moving from the Rival S 1.5. I'll report back.
Biggest thing on them is the sizes. They make weird sizes that can net you an advantage, especially on specific cars.
I've done about 1200 Street miles and it's a clearly faster tire. Hard as hell when cold. Like, the first mile or two is pretty bouncy. But settles in quickly just on street driving. I imagine the first lap will get enough heat in.
While I'd love to do an apples to apples size wise, the very availability of a 305 in a 15" tire at 200tw is a huge consideration. Like for like they could be slower, but the next widest 15" option is a 245" by the competitors' 200tw offerings. So, I'll post my results after Sunday's event.
The shorter overall OD can also help (or hurt) depending on gearing.
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 just out a set on my daily and so far I really like them. I came from BFG Rivals. The P1 definitely grips harder.
They're very new so not a ton of data on them, but they seem to be running with the fastest tires, and supposedly are lasting longer while being cheaper to buy.
I've put about 1500 miles on mine so far and am impressed with the wear.
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.
It's the cheapest tire that's kept in stock at my Sam's club. There are probably longer lasting budget tires, but there are far worse.
They are a softer rubber with less tread than the other Goodyear options. So they must be rotated and maintained or you won't have good mileage out of them.
Alignment, air pressure, and general maintenance will cause tire issues regardless of the tire type though. So again...it's a very average cheap tire.
They're slower than the top tires(re71rs,a052,rt660s)
2022 Audi Q5. 25,000 miles and left rear had a broken belt and tread separation. Felt a vibration while going down the highway at 65mph. 1/4” separation about 1/3 of the way around the tire. Also with 25,000 tire wear sucked.
