Tires Kumho or Goodyear
I recently got the reliant all season tires and I drove to Ohio to NYC for Christmas with no issues so I’d say their good
I have a set of Goodyear Wranglers HT on my Silverado 2500HD, a set of Goodyear Wranglers AT on my Silverado 1500 and a set of Goodyear Assurance on my Malibu. They’ve been great to me. The ones on the Malibu are very comfortable and my wife likes them better than the Firestones the car came with.
the goodyears are shaping up to be as good or better than the crossclimates in basically any meaningful category, but the michelin is no slouch. get whatevers cheaper and youll be happy with them
Both are great performing tires in the snow. I would say get what's cheaper, but I give the slight edge to the CrossClimate 2.
My favorite tire for this purpose is the Goodyear Duratrac. I’m still on the stock Pirelli’s on the R1S, but on my diesel pickup that every day weighs 9k I got 80k on the last set. They are excellent in snow and I had that truck in places it should never have been with no issue due to those tires.
I have been using Goodyear Assurance Weatherready SL for the past 4.5 years. Gave me 66000 miles with driving atleast 100 miles for 3 days a week and another 25 miles for the remaining days. I have just ordered another set of 4 tires and costs me $600. I will recommend using the tires. I own a Prius.
Kumho tires are a decent brand.
I would agree with another poster that they are a good mid-tier brand. In that range of tires, you generally pay less and get very good performance.
What I’ve found is the mid tier brands usually give something up to the top tier brands like Michelin. For example, if you get a performance tire, the Kumho might have dry grip that is as good or better than the Michelin, but maybe the tire doesn’t last as long or isn’t quite as good in the rain.
The differences tend to be small, though. And the price premium you pay for top tier brands is usually a larger percentage than the difference in performance.
Coming from OEM 275/60-20 Wranglers.
Recalibrated using a Taser. Noticed a 2.5 mpg drop, using the lie-o-meter.
Noticeable reduction in peppiness and extended braking, but still love it.
Yeah, unfortunately those stock tires are trash. Especially with the 19” rims, they get used up quickly and you can feel every single rock you drive over with them. I’m not surprised they hadn’t lasted very long.
I have a 2023 Accord Hybrid Sport, it's currently at 19k miles. They found all 4 tires nearly worn out, the tread depth on all 4 is between 5/32 to 4/32 of an inch. I can't believe the shitty quality of tires that Honda has installed. I do drive rough but no way can the tires be this worn out at 19k miles. They use Goodyear Eagle Touring tires and apparently the quality of these is really poor.
