Tires Hankook or Goodyear
I have Goodyear wrangler duratracs and I really like them. I drive on the highway and use it on some crappy skid roads. They work great in deep snow too.
Goodyear Duratracs are great in snow and are reasonably priced.
Nexen, riken (made by Michelins), Hankook are all budget friendly made by good brands.
I just put the Walmart special (Goodyear Reliant 185/65/R15 for $88/ea) on my 2009 and I like them! It makes the road noise seem more quiet too!
I’m sticking with the Goodyear ones at Walmart for $88 each. I get 50+ mpg and the grip/control has been great in all weather conditions.
Goodyear weatherreadys - specifically for the adverse weather conditions when you actually care about the tires you’re using.
I got the Goodyear assurance fuel max tires on my 2017 after the OEM tires wore out. 4 years and 60k miles later and so far and they still have good tread. I live in the Chicago area, no issues, even in snow.
In my 20 years driving experience... I seem to recall using goodyear only once. It was ok, nothing special about noise or grip level. But I remember getting a lot more punctures on the goodyears than any other brand I've used. But again, it could just be bad luck.
I am not exactly sure what comes on these but the Good Year Wrangler AT with Kevlar that came on my Tacoma Off Road were the worst tires I have ever owned in 30 or so years. At 20k miles they were done. Every one had a patch. Every one had slow leaks and the wear was crazy at 20k 2 years.
From my personal experience from owning Goodyear’s that they are only good for one good year and horrible in the rain trying to take off from a dead stop.
