Tires Goodyear or WEST LAKE
You really need to get the new Goodyear Electric Drive 2's. They're amazing in wet weather and they're whisper quiet with no noticeable loss in range.
I got Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady2 on now and should be OK in everything short of ice.
The short answer is, No. This sub is an echo chamber. It skews very much to the purist side of racing. Reality - The racing is as good as it has been for a long time. The championship race was very encouraging. NASCAR and Goodyear seem to have found the correct tire combo for Phoenix which should help out Gateway and New Hampshire. That was the best Phoenix race we've had in a very long time from a racing standpoint. The Playoffs aren't as unpopular as this sub makes it out to be. Those who are happy are typically not the ones complaining about things on Twitter/forums/Reddit
The tires are good, BTW. I had them on my old car and was going in circles around others who apparently cheaped out on their tires. Like, had to help get a 4WD pick-up truck out of a ditch at one point.
I ran some good year winter tires for 8 winters before without issue.
Goodyear Ultragrip was good on RWD 535d, tuned
They were awesome and very, very grippy when thick (and warmed up). But once you wear half of the thread, the grip changes considerably. And it becomes dangerous below that.
Tried westlake once, good first couple of months, by the end of the first year the wet grip degraded a fair bit.
My Goodyear assurance weather ready tire had dry rot after 40K miles.
OMG, two years ago, I put Goodyear Reliant all way around on my Kia Soul. They are the worst tires I've ever had in 50 years of driving. They are cupping in the back & cut in front, have become incredibly noisy, even though they still have decent tread.
