Tires NITTO or Goodyear
I got a good deal on new Goodyear Winter Commands at end of season in the spring, so I’ll be trying those.
Nitto NT555 G2’s have been very good to me in a place that never sees below 60. Rain, sunshine, don’t matter. They grip and don’t break the bank.
Right now Goodyear has a great sale
I have driven on my Goodyear Wrangler Tires purchased at Walmart under 70k miles over about 5 years, almost 6. I am not even bald.
For context I have worked in the tire industry the last 6 years. The 2 Goodyear, which are clearly your new tires, are perfectly fine.
3r is the goated non-slick tire. Rapid pace and great durability during it’s life (3 track days). The only other tires that compete in pace are the cup2R and the trofeo R.
SC3R is excellent. Very forgiving at the limit and just over the limit, easy to get heat into them and they handle heavy loads very well. Probably a better track-day tire than the RE71RS, but I can’t speak to the Nankang. Even when pretty old or near the end of the their life, they retain pretty good limit-handling characteristics, even if they do lose a little pace.
Nitto Motivos. They came with the car so I can't compare. I'm sure they're nowhere as good, but seem like a good value based on the price. They skip just a bit on a hard launch even when warmed up. Good in the summer. I live in S-FL, so no experience with winter roads. I did some racing on a cool night and broke loose coming out of first. Pretty good on wet roads for the most part as long as you don't do any racing.
They’re near useless in mud, snow or ice. Mine still have plenty of tread left in them, and I’m still getting new tires installed on Friday, because they were already sketchy in the snow last winter.
I have the GY Wrangler A/T's on my 22 OR. I (personal opinion) can't stand Good Year tires. I've never had a pair worth a shit, ever. I'm just too cheap to dump 1k on tires when the ones I have still hold air. That's about all they are good for. Mine have terrible wet traction, especially when turning.
