Tires Goodyear or WEST LAKE
I haven’t looked at the Goodyear data myself, but I have spoken to people at Calspan, and I’ve been told that the Goodyear mu is “10% higher than the Hoosier stuff”.
I have some Westlake SA07 for 10k miles now and they're holding up pretty good. Really good tires for the price.
I personally run Westlakes SA07’s and will swear by them until the day I die
Last winter I bought then (then brandnew) Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady tires. They are All-seasons, but have the snowflake on the mountain symbol. They did great in the Mid-Atlantic where we don't get more than 2 days of actual snow but a lot of cold rain, occasional sleet and slush. They did come in handy when we visited the in-laws in Erie PA while they got their 100" of snow at Christmas time.
I have 225s (Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice WRT) and one of mine tipped over while changing tires and it got a scuff on it. Would have been worse with 205s.
My trailer had some junk "D" load rated tires that I replaced with "E" load rated Goodyear's and I saw improvement in handling and fuel economy.
I recommend the Goodyear Eagle GT. It was a much better performer than the Continentals that came with the car and they handled well in the rain.
I've got Westlake on my escape and mustang, they seem fine to me.
Mine only made it about 20k. They aren't very good off-road tires either.
Yesterday we had to buy 4 new tires because the OEM Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure with Kevlar tires which had a 60k limited warranty (they can't honor) were bald after just 30k road driving... anyone had a similar experience ?
