Tires FEDERAL or Goodyear

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.

I'm happy to report that after several months of driving I've enjoyed the Reliant a lot. They've been good performers in the wet and are wearing quite nicely.

Tires I've run that have been trouble-free: Goodyear, Michelin, Toyo, BF Goodrich, Bridgestone, and Firestone.

Tires that have failed me catastrophically: Kelly, Continental, Uniroyal, and General.

Back in the early 2000's I had a set of these on my old K5 blazer (94 model)... They didn't drive like they were made of rubber so much as a hard plastic. I felt the traction was very poor with them. After that I've been running KO2's since. Won't purchase goodyear again.

When they were new, they were great. As soon as they started losing tread my traction in the rain was terrible. Certainly won't be buying these again. Be warned.
