I just put Goodyear Eagle Exhilarates on my Miata, 205/45/17’s. So far, so good, also got the road hazard warranty due to the potholes around here.
Since changing to the Goodyear tires, I've hit similar potholes, sometimes even much HARDER, and haven't had a single popped/torn tire (though HAVE had issues with air leaking, which they attributed to the 'tag/sticker' still being on the tire when installed).
Pirelli is now Chinese owned, so I will never buy another set of them. I put Goodyear on my 3 and couldn't be happier with my choice.
I've had my Ridge Grapplers for about 4 years. Mostly highway. My only complaint would be wet pavement traction is not as good as I would prefer. Dry pavement is as good as I need it. Best traction of any tire I've ever had in snow. Road noise is pretty damn low for an aggressive looking tire. The best thing about these tires that will make me get another set soon is that I currently have about 100,000 miles on them.
Take a look for some Nitto in your area. Made by Toyo and decent looking tread patterns. And 3pms rated on a few.
Went from:
Nitto Terra Grappler G2s (good)
to Ridge Grapplers (meh)
to Recon Grapplers (amazing). Great ride super quiet still enough knob for the back 40.
Goodyear Wrangler ultra terrain, awesome in the snow and fairly quiet.
Ran these for 1.5 years had two flats. Still had good tread depth. One was a rock puncture which I have never had before. On my beater truck so I wheeled the piss out of them. Good in snow, ice, mud and sand. Bad on wet roads imo.
I would never put goodyear anything on my vehicles by choice. I've never had a set of wranglers I've liked. Bad things always seem to happen.
I’m never buying Goodyear again was in a 6 hour trip and my Goodyear endurance tire did this.
