Tires GT Radial or Barum
Barum Polaris 6. Au fost foarte bine cotate inclusiv versiunile anterioare (eu am folosit Polaris 3) in cateva clasamente din anii anteriori, fiind deseori in primele 5 locuri umar la umar cu marcile premium.
On the Forester I put some Radar branded tires on. They were the cheapest Mud + Snow three peak rated tires on Tire Rack. Car drives fine but they are LOUD. I thought a wheel bearing was going out as soon as I put them on (and I'll probably just proactively change the wheel bearings anyways). On the Econoline I got some Ironman tires. Honestly they seem fine, but the van doesn't have the smoothest ride and has a lot of stuff inside bouncing around so I can't judge their ride/comfort. One of the tires had a pretty good hop on the balance machine, though. On the Toyota Pickup I have some GT Radials I put on about 5 years ago and they've been great, no issues in the time I've had them (about 15k miles so far).
GT radial UHP AS tires are like $70 a tire, and more than good enough for the street. I even took them on track for a session, and while they are a bit floppy, they're also way better in the rain and more comfortable than most summer tires.
Just get the GT radial IMHO, higher rating (60k miles) and cheaper than Douglas (45k miles).
I just installed GT Radial on my truck and they’re actually great! So far very pleased!
33" GT Radial Adventuro ATX are good in the snow
I had GT Radial Adventuro Mud tires a few years ago. I loved them.
Tried both but I’ll go with GT Radial
I just bought these tires so I can't directly comment on them, but they were in my budget and the specs were about the best in the price range.
I drive a 05 wrx and have had both Blizzak WS80 and GT Radial Ice Pro 3 on it. I only got the GT Radials because I was in grad school and they were cheap. They get the job done, but are definitely not as good as blizzies. Obviously haven't done any scientific tests, but the steering feel is noticeably worse on the radials, stopping distance is much longer, acceleration worse. Frequently notice them understeering significantly on both wet and snowy roads.
