Also if you can, get Goodyear assurance. We had them on my husband's old car and they were good. Very little road noise, compared to the cheap Kelly edges the dealership put on his Impreza before we bought it.
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.
Goodyear Wrangler ultra terrain, awesome in the snow and fairly quiet.
On Tuesday, I had new tires put on the car. Nothing special, some goodyear assurance all seasons. The new tires made a big difference in ride quality and handling.
I went from Sumitomo HTR Z2 tires to Michelin Pilot Super Sport and was left very disappointed in the Michelins. Initial turn in suffered (slight delay from steering input to vehicle changing direction). The Michelins are like sticky gummy bears, the Sumitomos had much stiffer side walls and that made driving far more enjoyable even though they were less sticky.
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.
The stock Goodyear wranglers are shitty tires. I had 4 flats in 6 months with them. And ride quality/handling wasn’t great. But I’m a cheap ass and got 30k miles out of them.
I’ve only purchased Michelin for many years now. When my stock wranglers looked similar to OP’s photo, I put Michelin LTX M/S on and never worried about tires again - until this week.
70,000 miles later and the Michelins are finally at the end of their journey- going to replace them with Michelin Defender LTX since the M/S line is discontinued
The wranglers on my 2016 were past the wear bars bald, completely slick, by 29K miles. They single-handedly guaranteed I’d never have another set of Goodyears for as long as I live.
