But my go to tire in this space is Nexen... Nexen N5000 Platinum should be under $600 out the door with mount, balance, and taxes, a solid 70k mile all-season tire.
I had a set of Nexen Aria A7's on my GMC Terrain, I got 52,000 miles out of them and they gripped just fine and were quiet. For the money they are a good tire. They are a Korean brand, not some fly-by-night Chinese garbage brand.
All are legit, and I would also vouch for Nexen. I put a set of Aria AH7 on my '19 Fusion, and they are quite nice for the price.
A car I bought had fairly new Nexen tires on it. They lasted 75,000 miles, were quiet, and had decent traction in the rain (Florida).
I got a great deal on Bridgestone Weatherpeak at Costco. I felt very confident driving them in torrential rains last week.
Bought these tires for my Mazda 3 after one of my OEM Bridgestone EL440’s got pregnant(sidewall bulge), and I plugged a puncture in the other one. Decided to just replace the tires completely.
So far I’m happy with them.
Pros:
- Severe snow rating so they are legally snow tires in my state(for mountain passes and stuff), and I’m guessing the snow traction is way better. They are still all season tires though.
- Seems to be a softer ride overall even on the stock 18” side.
- XL sidewall strength, vs the stock tires being standard. Should help with those sidewall issues.
- They seem fairly quiet as far as noise.
- $150 rebate in addition to being fairly cheap
Cons:
- These are definitely not for those people who want sporty handling, they don’t really feel like a sport tire, and are more of a touring road tire.
- I’ve heard the treadwear isn’t the best(makes sense with the snow rating)
I had the Bridgestone Revo 3 in my last truck and they did great. And they have a 60k mileage warranty. I got 70k out of them. Before my truck was totaled. Probably had another 15k on them.
I got 4 weatherpeak tires brand new in august of this year. I have driven 15,000+ miles with them already and I love them. But my tires are at a 5/32nds all the way around , even with rotating every 5,000 miles. What is causing them to wear so quickly?
Pretty sure I had Ecopias on my new 18 Sportwagen. I think I got rid of them at 40k due to noise and cupping on the rears. I rotated them every 5k as well. Not impressed.
It took me till the day after the first snow when I slid through a red light. They are literal slicks. Get snow tires! Blizzaks make winter magical
