Tires Firestone or Goodyear

early I loved the AT2's I had on my F150 they did great in Mud, Snow and Ice.

I currently have Firestone LE3's on my 14 Explorer. They have a little over 26k miles on them. 255/50/20's for $930 mounted/balanced back in 2021. Overall pretty good tires, especially for the money. Smooth, good traction in the dry/wet and pretty good in the snow. They did seem to get louder fairly quickly, but I don't think they've really gotten any worse over the last 15k miles. Wet roads seem to exacerbate the noise. Last time I looked at them (few k miles ago), they were wearing really well. I can't say I'd buy them again yet, but if they get us another 26k miles without getting significantly louder, they (or their successor) would be on the list. In the past I had OE Hankooks (good dry/wet, excellent life, absolutely terrible in the snow) and Michelin Premier LTX (good in all conditions, short life, overpriced for what they were).

I've had Goodyear EfficientGrip on my 1.8 Civic for 20k miles and 3 years. There is still about 5mm of tread on them too...

Recently purchased two Goodyear RSA from Walmart that were in sale. So far so good. The ride is nice and comfortable.

Firestone has Suredrive tires that are basically rebranded Kuhmo Solaris TA71s right in your range. Good reviews on Reddit. I just bought a set today. Seem quiet.

Just ditched the OEM set of Goodyears on our Atlas this weekend for a set of Michelins, do it. Don't let tires hold back enjoyment of a vehicle.

If you have a Walmart, Goodyear Reliant tires. They are Goodyear's Walmart exclusive tire. I have run about 5k on mine and so far, so good. Quiet, good grip, solid warranty. Better than my original tires that csme eith my car new.

Firestone destination le3 is decent and cheap tire there, a lot of sizes. Is the tire amazing? Fuck no, but has great wet traction, low rolling resistance, and through the roof treadwear.

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.
