I've been a Goodyear customer for almost 20 years. I've had their Assurance all-season on many cars and suvs. I used to swear by Michelin until I had to buy my own tires. That being said, Michelin at Costco seems ok.
You really need to get the new Goodyear Electric Drive 2's. They're amazing in wet weather and they're whisper quiet with no noticeable loss in range.
I replaced them with the Michelin CrossClimate 2s just in time for the rainy season in my area. even with the new tires, I can easily lose traction and spin my wheels if I gun it off the line because this car is a FWD torque monster. But when I spin the CC2s, I never feel like I don\u2019t have control of the vehicle. I\u2019m really glad I upgraded the tires for the rain.
The OEM Michelin Energy Saver tires sound borderline dangerous in the rain. I'm in SoCal; the previous owner had already swapped to Michelin Defender 2s lol. The Defenders though, they got grip for days.
I’m running the alpin 5 and the ground connection was strong.
I got Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady2 on now and should be OK in everything short of ice.
I switched to the Michelin Cross Climate 2s and they have substantially better traction than OEMs. You may have better options if you don't need the snow performance. The OEMs have notoriously poor traction, especially on wet pavement.
The short answer is, No. This sub is an echo chamber. It skews very much to the purist side of racing. Reality - The racing is as good as it has been for a long time. The championship race was very encouraging. NASCAR and Goodyear seem to have found the correct tire combo for Phoenix which should help out Gateway and New Hampshire. That was the best Phoenix race we've had in a very long time from a racing standpoint. The Playoffs aren't as unpopular as this sub makes it out to be. Those who are happy are typically not the ones complaining about things on Twitter/forums/Reddit
I got the defenders for the 21" wheels 4k miles ago. I am currently at 2.31 mi/kWh and climbing. Pretty similar to the original Pirelli tires.
They gave me a new pilot and I immediately noticed these tires were not as smooth, comfortable or quiet as the CC2s I had been used to so for me I would say yes. These are just poor quality tires.
