Tires MICHELIN or Goodyear
Absolutely worth it. Mine feels so much better in wet weather, and it barely affected the fuel economy over the eco-tyres I had before.
Yes, good tyres are absolutely worth the money when you need them.
Try Maxxis AP3's, they're dirt cheap and nearly as good as the Michelin Cross climates. I've genuinely been impressed by that specific Maxxis tyre, on my 3rds set now.
Decent brand all-season tyres will last well and be safe and capable all year round (come snowy season you might get roped into giving lifts lol), and you’ll have peace of mind; and those to me are certainly valuable enough to spend £350 on.
I replaced all my mismatched tyres when I bought my 2012 Yaris three years ago, with a set of Michelin CrossClimate+. Worth the piece of mind.
I have Goodyear Eagle F1s on the front and mid range on the back, being front wheel drive the back doesn’t really do much other than follow.
Try some Michelin Pilot Sport tires
When I was driving (passengers at the time) full time & doing a ton of miles (around 1000-1200 miles per week), I would get the Goodyear Viva's from Walmart. They were like $~80 a piece and lasted me well, I'd get around 45k out of them and I believe they were rated for 60k.
Have these on my MDX. Great traction, especially in the rain.
Noisier than the Continental LX25. Burned out fast… but that’s probably my driving
I hated my geolanders and was so glad to get rid of them. True that my only off roading is forest roads but I have a set of Michelin defenders that takes on everything from dry slalom’s to loose forest road hills and snow with quiet confidence.
