Tires Firestone or Goodyear

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.

Firestone Indy 500 tire? What level are you running at and on what car? What is your psi? It's a great novice (to intermediate-ish)tire, but you have to know when to back off. Run them too hot and they'll get a little greasy feeling. Although I can't see that happening after 1 lap.

The Goodyear reliant from Walmart are affordable and unlike other cheapo tires the side walls aren’t paper thin

Goodyear is definitely not as good as they used to be. Their tires are on the lower end side now and their prices reflect that.

I have a vendetta against Firestone since they exploded on my Explorer and nearly wrecked me, only had like 10k miles.

They’re near useless in mud, snow or ice. Mine still have plenty of tread left in them, and I’m still getting new tires installed on Friday, because they were already sketchy in the snow last winter.
