Tires Continental or Goodyear

I’ve now had 3 different sets of these tires. On one wrangler I had 31” and switched to 33” after a year, put another set on the other wrangler also. Can’t complain one bit. Not too expensive, great tread, they don’t wear down fast, and most of all they are so quiet.

19 SEL came with Goodyear Assurance tires. No complaints so far at 6K miles. I'll be buying Cooper CS5s when the time comes. I put a set on another car I own and it was like night and day. Never knew a set of tires could make that big a difference in 40+ years of maintaining cars. Far far smoother ride and to top it off they are made in the USA. One of the few left.

Currently using Goodyear Weather Ready tires. They have been great so far. I find they are better than the X-Ice I used to have.

I haven’t looked at the Goodyear data myself, but I have spoken to people at Calspan, and I’ve been told that the Goodyear mu is “10% higher than the Hoosier stuff”.

If you're interested in a good cheap winter tire the new Continental VikingContact 7's are super cheap on tire rack. I just got a set of four for $700 from Tire Rack and they handle great so far and are just as quiet (actually more so) than the stock 19's I had on before. Highly recommend them.

I ordered the Continental PureContact LS. Reasonable prices (I think they were 240 a piece with installation, tax, and balance from Discount Tire). No noticeable impact to rod noise or range. Supposed to be very good in all weather conditions and have a 70k mile warranty. Very smooth ride and definitely notice better handling in rain and the light snow we’ve had here.

Picked up some Conti Viking 7's from the dealer $1100 with steelies (tax included) for our GSW. The car is a beast with these new tires. So much traction!

I got a set of Continental Winter Contact SI from Canadian Tire. Pretty good tires imo.

I'll be running the same Continental Winter Contact SI on the explorer. They did fine last year for me.

Goodyear.
