Tires Toyo or Goodyear
my usual go to reccomendation for "an tyre" are Toyo proxes comfort at this moment in time, good levels of grip and they wear well for a mid range tyre
Personally, I'd go with Toyo Proxies CF2's. I find they are around the right budget and still get "enough" quality without straying towards the needlessly expensive ones.
I have Goodyear Eagle F1s on the front and mid range on the back, being front wheel drive the back doesn’t really do much other than follow.
When I was driving (passengers at the time) full time & doing a ton of miles (around 1000-1200 miles per week), I would get the Goodyear Viva's from Walmart. They were like $~80 a piece and lasted me well, I'd get around 45k out of them and I believe they were rated for 60k.
I buy Toyo Proxes. They're ~$110/tire in my car's size and last 2-3 years (18,000-27,000 miles give or take).
I’ve had two flats in my Model Y factory all seasons (Goodyear Eagle F1s with the foam). Local tire shop was able to pull the foam back, patch and put the foam back. $39 each time.
Back when I had an Evo 8 I was running Toyo R888s, until they became too costly to run during daily driving, so I switched to Nankang NS2Rs.
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.
I was originally looking at the new Toyo Observe GSi6 for my winter tires to replace my 6 yo Blizzak DMV2. After further research, I found that the GSi6 tested at or near the bottom of winter tires. Very disappointing for a new tire IMO.
I run Open Country 3's on my truck, and these tires are just too loud. They do not like the Arizona freeways, highways, and any asphalt road. When I do get on dirt, it is best, but there are too damn loud in my book.
