We use Nexen Winguard Sport 2 on our Focus RS AWD... they work very well... they are good tires and punch well above their price level in terms of performance and longevity.
I whole-heartedly recommend the Nexen N5000 Platinums... They are not the best tires out there by any means, but punch way above their price category in quality.
I have these, from Sams Club - using on a 07' Saab 9-3. No complaints.
Their tires do tend to ride a little soft, like you say... but that doesn't seem to affect handling at all. They are not the best tire, they are a good tire, but they are a better tire than the price you pay for them.
Compared to all previous sets they a very quiet and drive very smooth, they feel kind of spongy if that makes any sense.
Hankook tires are great I ran mine 40k but even better were Goodyear Eagles LS-2 just bought a second set of 4 after 60k. Goodyear says 70k and they probably would go 80k if rotated correctly and often.
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.
Goodyear Wrangler Territory, decent in snow but I wouldn’t drive em in deep snow
I don't like Goodyear or Michelle tires. They don't last for me.
7,970 miles. I don't like Goodyear tires. The OEM tires were slippery and the truck stepped out going 25 mph around a corner that I never experienced with my other 2nd gen Tacoma without good year tires. Way to easy to spin off the line even with the torqueless wonder that is the 3rd gen.
