The winter tires - Michelins - got about 10k put on them.
Here are OEM Conti 5p and Michelin P4S in 235/35/19 mounted on VMR 710FF 19x8.5 et45. OEM Conti’s are a little stretched. But not bad. I ran the wheels that way for two summers before installing the Michelins. The Michelins run a little wider so they are squared off more.
I had GY Duratracs on my 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee. For the most part I really liked them. Not sure I would say that if they didn't see some offroad though because they were pretty noisy at highway speeds. In the snow and ice, they were amazing. Best tires I've ever had in that type of weather. Also did quite well in mud. The sidewalls were too soft for me to feel comfortable in the rocks though.
We have Duratracs on our LR3 and they have performed very well for us. They are just now getting noisier but have a lot of miles on them. Snow traction is really good, we've gone up hilly unplowed driveways with them and they went through it with no problem.
I have some Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmor tires and they have been fantastic on my Xterra. I have about 50K miles on them and they still have some tread life left. Work really well in the snow and have been great when we get downpours.
Went with Michelin Latitude X-ice in stock 18\" size, on Sport Edition F5 wheels. Package from Tire Rack - they come mounted and balanced at not charge, and Michelin had a $70 rebate on 4 tires. Wish we'd had more snow this year! In the little we had they worked very well.
I run goodyear eagle F1 asymmetric 2 on my car. Good for between £70-80 per tyre.
My friend had them on his fiesta st which was putting out 300ft lbs of torque and he had no issues. Also great in the rain.
I have Michelin Super Sports on one of my cars and Continental GXs on my other, faster car, and I vastly prefer the Michelins.
I worked at Goodyear for 3 years and you are partially correct. Their quality isn't bad across the board, it is just not consistent. Some are great and last way longer than they should while others are just junk. I had 2 Ultra Grip Winters blow out on me a few hours apart (2 days after they were mounted).
My newish Michelin Defenders did that.
