I run continental Extreme Contacts DWS on mine. They’re amazing and handle snow well too
Conti Viking 7 have been best of the three in my opinion. Excllent in winter and I am even running 19 inch. I took my car out for a Sept warm wknd (was forced to) and even in those conditions I had no idea I was rolling on winters. If I had done that in my Blizzaks, you would have felt the softness. Based on their feel and winter performance, I won’t be looking at other winter tires again.
Right now Goodyear has a great sale
I have driven on my Goodyear Wrangler Tires purchased at Walmart under 70k miles over about 5 years, almost 6. I am not even bald.
For context I have worked in the tire industry the last 6 years. The 2 Goodyear, which are clearly your new tires, are perfectly fine.
3r is the goated non-slick tire. Rapid pace and great durability during it’s life (3 track days). The only other tires that compete in pace are the cup2R and the trofeo R.
SC3R is excellent. Very forgiving at the limit and just over the limit, easy to get heat into them and they handle heavy loads very well. Probably a better track-day tire than the RE71RS, but I can’t speak to the Nankang. Even when pretty old or near the end of the their life, they retain pretty good limit-handling characteristics, even if they do lose a little pace.
I mostly can't get 200tw track tires that fit my car, but the Supercar 3R is a wonder compared to its main competitors in the category of OEM performance car fitments (Cup 2, Trofeo R). Substantially faster, more consistent, and cheaper.
Maybe I just got lucky. I used to always get Michelin's, but my CC came with Conti (Pro Contact I think), so went for them again, and then picked another Conti that is a little sportier (not DWS06, just PureContact LS), and they have been OK. Steering feel hasn't been as good as with Michelin, but I did not experience any problems.
Some people like them, I really hate them. I find them slow, hard and not grippy, not puncture resistant at all, heavy. My back wheel would just slide around on its own when it was wet out.
