Tires DUNLOP or GT Radial
I put 90k on my original Dunlop tires, and will just be replacing them now. Great tires!
I have the Adventuro ATX's on my Frontier and have 0 complaints. 17,000 miles on them and still showing tons of tread left, no vibes and no noise. They were beasts in the snow and still ride perfectly smoothly. I would 100% buy them again.
I had two sets of Dunlop Sport on my C class in the past, my opinion are that they are good quality/price ratio but not top tier. I would personally consider getting Dunlop in the future.
I bought a set of Sportsmart mk3 last year on my mt09, and I have to say, It's the best choice I've made. The rear is now done after 15k kms, and I ride quite aggressive, power wheelies, fast twisties. I didn't expect it to last this long.
On the Forester I put some Radar branded tires on. They were the cheapest Mud + Snow three peak rated tires on Tire Rack. Car drives fine but they are LOUD. I thought a wheel bearing was going out as soon as I put them on (and I'll probably just proactively change the wheel bearings anyways). On the Econoline I got some Ironman tires. Honestly they seem fine, but the van doesn't have the smoothest ride and has a lot of stuff inside bouncing around so I can't judge their ride/comfort. One of the tires had a pretty good hop on the balance machine, though. On the Toyota Pickup I have some GT Radials I put on about 5 years ago and they've been great, no issues in the time I've had them (about 15k miles so far).
GT Radial tires.
I have the same set of tires and have noticed when my driveway is wet or icy it gets a little squirrelly. I did drive in a snow storm the other day and they did pretty decent, no complaints but they do kinda suck on the ice.
Apparently OE Dunlop tires are designed to wear into slicks down the centre and this isn't due to overinflation by the first owner of my 2021 FWD. But I will never choose Dunlops when I do replace the tires.
Mine lasted 35K miles before I replaced them. Worst tires I have ever had on a vehicle. The ride quality changed dramatically when I replaced them and I realized how shit they were.
I’ve never had the motorcycle Sportmaxx tires but they weren’t that great for the car version lol.
