Tires Pirelli or Goodyear
Pirelli Cinturato Velo or Hutchinson Challenger TLR. Both are faster, tougher and grippier than Gatorskins.
Well, I’m the OP, and I ended up getting a set of Goodyear Wrangler Radials 235/75r/15. It’s been about 4 months with these tires, and these ride really cushy and soft which I like, compared to the Kumho regular all season tires that I used to have which used to ride like complete trash over potholes and bumps.
Also, the Goodyear wrangler radials have pretty good traction even in the rain, and surprisingly quiet for an all terrain tire.
I mean, once i tried Pirelli i couldn't get any other brand. They are stupid expensive though and don't last as long as something like a Bridgestone. But tons of feedback.
I got the Goodyear Reliant on my 2016 Crosstrek and they are very nice and ride especially quiet. Very happy with my purchase for the price paid.
I use the Pirelli P Zero PZ4 on my Mercedes and BMW and Michelin PS4 on Range Rover. The Pirelli is superb and grippy but wear out faster and more noisier.
I got 50k out of a set of OEM LS-2’s on my AWD Ford Fusion. Not a Goodyear guy at all, but these tires were very good.
I run Goodyear EagleSports ($125 a tire) all seasons and they’re fantastic. Had them for 4 years now and they’ve gotten me thru everything from 1/2ft of rainfall to 2ft of snow all without losing grip.
Tires I've run that have been trouble-free: Goodyear, Michelin, Toyo, BF Goodrich, Bridgestone, and Firestone.
Tires that have failed me catastrophically: Kelly, Continental, Uniroyal, and General.
Perillis are JUNK! Have had them on several cars; and refuse to put them on my Range Rover.
I absolutely hate Pirelli tires. The one time I had them on my 2013 Hatch the car didn’t feel right. It felt like it was way too slick in the rain and turns felt sluggish.
