Tires Uniroyal or Goodyear
I ended up getting an Uniroyal summer tire for it as it was considerably cheaper than the Conti. Anyway, from tests I gathered that it is supposed to be top tier in wet condition and mid at best in dry. I have used for over a year now as my situation changed and ended up keeping the Corolla for the time being. I used it around 15k km so far in wide variety conditions, from 0 Celsius up to 40 and so far have zero issues. There is no sign of wear and tear, thread is still deep, no dry rot and driving never felt unsafe or had any other issues.
I would look into Goodyear WeatherReady. Goodyear still makes awesome tires and WeatherReady is one of them. I’ve got them on all my vehicles and have zero complaints.
Just came to this thread after ordering Goodyear Maxlife. I happened to look at Goodyear Assurance Maxlife on a whim and saw that they were priced lower than the Pirellis by about $7 per tire and was able to price match to Discount tire who had these in stock at one of the stores.
Run Wrangler SR-A on my JK in the summer. Takeoffs from Ram 1500s. Awesome highway tire. Not an offroad tire at all but they survive forest service roads.
Have these on the Tundra. It isn't an off-roader, but am on the 2nd set now. They lasted pretty well and were outstanding on wet roads and good on snow when I lived in the northeast
From my experience, goodyear offers the best rim protection, I got goodyear assymetric 6 225/45 r17, and the rim protection is big and also the sidewalls are stiff.
early I loved the AT2's I had on my F150 they did great in Mud, Snow and Ice.
I dailied +0 sized duratracs on a stock 2007 4runner for a few years. At 40psi and they were great in just about everything on weekends. But I hated them on damp pavement (concrete highway specifically on big turns at speed felt like they wanted to slip)
Every Good year tire that I have owned was terrible. When I got my most recent F150 new it came with Good Years and I slid all over in just rain... put Michelins on in under a year as a result and was very happy. I do highway driving a lot so sliding in rain basically just coasting wasn't going to do well on a wet highway.
My experience with Goodyear is from buying used cars. Viva 3s and now reliants and the Goodyear-made Kelly’s. The cheap tires are absolute garbage, considerably harder than Chinese tires but with the same treadlife rating. I get them to spin on a Toyota Camry.
