Tires Nexen or Goodyear
I recently (this year) bought Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate in 255/40/19 and they have been absolutely great in the dry and wet so far. They also get some pretty high, respectable scores in Tire Rack's testing
Just got them installed on my MY today. Seem to be more grippy and a little less road noise.
Nexen is amazing.....I drove above 200kph many times without any issues.
I use Nexen Roadian RA8 tires on my Tahoe and love them. $130 a piece for 265/75r16. I get a lot of snow where I live and they haven't let me down.
I bought a 2013 last year that has Wrangler A/T's and they have performed great. They haven't slipped on me once in the New England weather.
I ran them through until they needed replacing, had no issues minus slippage in muddy steep terrain which is not super common in the AZ desert.
I bought them for my model 3 based on the TireRack video that praised them as the most comfortable/quiet of the test group. More so than the Ion Evo which people seem to be raving about. I don't have anything to compare them to unfortunately, but I like them a lot. They're quiet while giving a very composed feel.
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.
Every Good year tire that I have owned was terrible. When I got my most recent F150 new it came with Good Years and I slid all over in just rain... put Michelins on in under a year as a result and was very happy. I do highway driving a lot so sliding in rain basically just coasting wasn't going to do well on a wet highway.
My experience with Goodyear is from buying used cars. Viva 3s and now reliants and the Goodyear-made Kelly’s. The cheap tires are absolute garbage, considerably harder than Chinese tires but with the same treadlife rating. I get them to spin on a Toyota Camry.
