Tires Nexen or Goodyear
I've used Nexen from South Korea and found it very decent compared to Chinese ones which can be noisy.
Goodyear wrangler duratracs came on mine, I liked them for my first a/t tires. 30k right now, I feel like they could go to 50k but unfortunately there is a nail right on the line of the repairable area in one tire.
Mine lasted 49k was trying to hold off until 50k but the front right was starting to lose small pieces of rubber and had started to vibrate and was getting really loud. Got the Goodyear Workhorse AT on sale at Sam’s Club. I think they are not louder than stock
Nexen tires are massively better in quality and value. I trust Nexen not only with my life, but put them on two of my kids vehicles when they went away to college in the Dakotas (extreme climate variation and brutal winters). Right now we have three vehicles on Nexen tires. In general, Nexen tires are not only worth the money, but they give more value for the price than most tires... They are not the "best" tire out there, but they are a good, quality tire that punches way above their price point.
NASCAR teams sell used Goodyears, and Formula drift teams give them out too.
If you do any winter weather driving or off road, the Goodyear wrangler authority are my top pick for all terrains that wear very well, aren’t to noisy and perform very well.
I had the Nexen Winguard Sport (not the 2) on my 2019 Mustang GT. I drove that car (RWD, manual, 460 hp) for 3 winters on those tires and never had any problems.
I am trashing all three of my Tx's today. Replacing with Goodyear Exhilerates. Suppose to be a good tire by the reviews that I have read (especially with wet traction).
At my 35K (mi) scheduled maintenance, I was told I had 2/32 left on the OEM Nexens.
I started sliding sideways when taking off from the lights in the rain. The very next opportunity I had Pilot Sport 4 on and never looked back.
