19 SEL came with Goodyear Assurance tires. No complaints so far at 6K miles. I'll be buying Cooper CS5s when the time comes. I put a set on another car I own and it was like night and day. Never knew a set of tires could make that big a difference in 40+ years of maintaining cars. Far far smoother ride and to top it off they are made in the USA. One of the few left.
Currently using Goodyear Weather Ready tires. They have been great so far. I find they are better than the X-Ice I used to have.
I haven’t looked at the Goodyear data myself, but I have spoken to people at Calspan, and I’ve been told that the Goodyear mu is “10% higher than the Hoosier stuff”.
Last winter I bought then (then brandnew) Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady tires. They are All-seasons, but have the snowflake on the mountain symbol. They did great in the Mid-Atlantic where we don't get more than 2 days of actual snow but a lot of cold rain, occasional sleet and slush. They did come in handy when we visited the in-laws in Erie PA while they got their 100" of snow at Christmas time.
I have 225s (Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice WRT) and one of mine tipped over while changing tires and it got a scuff on it. Would have been worse with 205s.
My trailer had some junk "D" load rated tires that I replaced with "E" load rated Goodyear's and I saw improvement in handling and fuel economy.
I recommend the Goodyear Eagle GT. It was a much better performer than the Continentals that came with the car and they handled well in the rain.
They worked great when I had them but wore very quickly for me. I have cooper st maxxs now and they have been basically the same but have lasted longer.
rather snot-slick. They slip in conditions my baby shoes never did. Overall, they are nice and quiet, but their traction is nowhere near as good as it seems it should be.
In my experience, not a huge fan, on pavement I felt they were loud and squirrelly and wear out pretty wonky.
