Tires Pirelli or Goodyear
I just went with the Goodyear Electric Drive 2s. Only driven a few hundreds miles on them so far but efficiency seems about the same as the OEMs and rain performance has been better.
I've tested them on track at 30c. Not ideal but they're not going to pop.
They'll be fine at -10c too, we're usually testing below that.
I have an SUV with these tires I live in Luxembourg so the weather is more the least identical and I went on holiday to Portugal in the summer I caught very hot days on a very motorway and they are still very good.
I've just bought the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 for my car (Mazda 3 2.0 186hp). I live in south of Germany where there isn't much snow and the temperatures are mostly around -5 to 10C from December to March. The summer tyres I've got with the car (Toyo Proxes R51A) are actually worse on wet than most premium all seasons (at least according to the label), so I'm losing "just" some of the dry grip in the summer. I drive only like 6-7k km/year. For now they feel surprisingly good (around 5-10C outside) especially in wet - actually not much different than the UHP Hankook summer tyres I had on my previous car (were probably a complete overkill for the car).
I've been a fan of Goodyear Duratracs on my last 2 trucks (including my current one), specifically LT275/65R20. The aggressive profile looks great, and the 65 profile helps fill in the space in the wheel well without rubbing. The tread is slightly over .5" and I've used them over 65k miles.
GP5000 S-TR are a bit lighter/thinner than PZero Race - thus LESS puncture resistant.
so, stick with PZero Race ;)
In November I bought a set of Goodyear weather ready tires for my 2022 Camry hybrid. The thing is I had a large drop in mpg when I switched. I had Firestone all season tires before with an average mpg of 48. After the switch I’m hovering around 34-36.
If you drive conservatively, they might last. If you drive a performance/sports car and you like to drive like you have a pulse, then they won’t last very long, you’ll want more than they can provide, and they love to squeal like a pig.
Goodyear has never been good for me. I've had like 4 sets. At the end of the year, they were gone. And they just didn't grip like michelin does
I have the 20" F1s and am not a fan. They are not happy when not fully warmed up; can get squirrelly on hard acceleration and fast cornering and before PSM kicks in. I find them to perform relatively better for wet weather. They are noisy but doesn't bother me much.
