Tires SUMITOMO or Goodyear
A couple of months ago I put new Goodyear Electric Drive tires on my 2019 Leaf SV + and so far been very happy with them. I think the efficiency has actually gone up about 5-10%.
I went with Solar 4XS+ available from Walmart. They are manufactured by Sumitomo tires. These came in really cheap at $350 for all 4 tires including lifetime balance and rotation and road hazard warranty at Walmart. These are 89 H rated, so a bit soft which cut down the road noise a lot compared to my previous Bridgestone Ecopia. Efficiency is the same as the Ecopias at 4.3 mi/kwh but they ride smooth and quiet.
Typically I don't like Goodyear tires but my Duratracs have been a great AT tire. Zero complaints.
MTR is my favorite off road tire but wear out really fast daily driving.
My DuraTracs seem a bit noisy compared to other tires, but I absolutely love them. Have a set on my Frontier and a set on Xterra. I literally have 0 complaints.
I've gotten nearly 70k out of my Duratracs. I'm leaning towards Wildpeaks for the next ones, but I can't complain about longevity with the Duratracs.
The Goodyear Weatherready is a top tier 3PMS tire. Has excellent traction, for an all weather, on ice and snow, Runs fairly quietly as well.
If your car feels like it’s bouncing/bobbing sideways (I’m guessing that’s what you mean by “bubbling”), it’s probably due to the softer material used on the winter tires. I’m running a set of Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady and they show the same behavior. The effect will less noticeable eventually as the tire passes the break-in period.
Is it the Goodyear Assurance Finesse tires? Those are hot garbage. Mine only lasted around 28,000 miles before they needed to be replaced.
Those look like the same tread as Goodyear run-flats I have on a vehicle and they are looking similar. The tires were installed in 2020 and have less than 30k miles on them. Worst tire I’ve ever bought.
