Tires SUMITOMO or Goodyear
I have Goodyear Forteras on my GC and like them a lot. They're very smooth on the highway.
Just had them installed this weekend at Sam’s club. I have the same impression in terms of noise but they feel like they track pavement grooves more than the OEM so it feels less stable than stock at highway speeds. Overall same efficiency and better grip than the OEMs so I am really happy. Let’s see how they hold up over time!
My early review of the Goodyear ElectricDrive 2 tires just bought for my 23’ Bolt EV LT2 with about 500 miles driven. So far, very happy with the tires. They are definitely very quiet and smooth riding. On asphalt roads I pretty much got to listen hard to hear any noise. On concrete roads there of course is some noise, but not anything that would bother me at all. Takes bumps and rippled roads well. Efficiently wise, seems equivalent to the OEM Michelins. Not as pricey as the OEMs. So if you’re looking for what “ looks like” a good tire for your Bolt or any electric car, these seem to be a wise choice. I will re-review when I get around 2500 miles on them.
Good year weather ready tires are very good. I would get them for my winter setup if they came in 15's and my buddy just put them on his golf r as his winter setup.
My OEM Goodyears laster 36k miles. Currently, I have the Hankook iON EVOs on and they're at 4/32 at 46k miles. 2021 MYLR w/20" fully forged aftermarket wheels.
Sumitomo Encounter ATs are hands down the best bang for the buck.
J'ai toujours jeté mes pneus après 30k km et je n'ai jamais eu de surprise particulière avec goodyear, michelin, pirelli.
Ours came loose too and started shaking the steering wheel. We had 53k miles on our tires and there were getting replaced soon anyway. When I got new tires I got goodyears with no foam and no difference in road noise. The foam seems to be unnecessary and just something that will cause problems later.
I know this thread is almost a year old...But it was one of the first things to pop up in Google. I bought a Challenger with the Sumitomo all seasons. 245/45r20. They were terrible tires. I figured I try to get 2 years out of them and it didnt happen. They were manufactured in March 2023. Lasted 12,000 miles before one of them separated from the side wall in November 2024. I got a set of new tires at discount tire and they showed me that 2 of the other tires were starting exactly the same thing. Separating the tread from the side walls. All on the inside so I couldnt see it. The car shook over 75mph...They wouldnt hold air pressure...They were downright dangerous in winter conditions. They were very noisy and wouldnt grip even on a hot road surface.
I just replaced a 3rd brand new set of reliants. They were horrible in my experience. They ALL dry rotted. Those 3 sets were purchased within 4 years.
