Tires Firestone or Goodyear

Firestone Tires

I'm in Canada but my summer tires are Firehawk Indy 500s and they grip really well, even in the rain. Would definitely recommend.

Pros: grip really well

I live in Wisconsin,  used to switch snow tires to summer tires every year on my 2x4 2008 Ford ranger, I just went to the tire shop, asked for snow tires,  had the Firestone ones, and some cheap ones off tire rack,  both worked fine.

Pros: worked fine
Vehicle: Ford Ranger

Goodyear related: I remember the F1 dsg3's (IIRC) that were OE on the MK4 GLI 1.8t. being one of the best wet weather tires I had experienced up till that point.

Pros: best wet weather tires
Vehicle: Volkswagen

We have/had Duratracs on (4) of our vehicles currently. 99’ F250, 98’ TJ, 04’ LJ & 14’ JK.

I won’t run another tire unless i get a good reason. Started running them after a guy who owns a snow removal business said they worked better than any other tire on his fleet trucks.

Amazing traction. Great in the snow/ice. (West Michigan) Good tread life. Tough tire offroad.

Pros: amazing traction, great snow/ice

I live in snowy Canada and it's my first winter running duratrac 3 peaks. So far the grip seems good. I have more confidence in deeper snow and I've been able to drive right up to my dumpster regularly (which is in a difficult to reach location with a 3ft snow bank and 2ft of snow all around).

Pros: grip seems good
Cons: stopping issues

I've used the weathergrip on a subaru crosstrek before and was pretty happy with them. They lasted a good while and always got me where I had to go. Not nearly as much grip as a dedicated snow tire, but they were run year round and lasted 50k miles, so it's a decent compromise.

Pros: lasted a good while, decent compromise
Cons: less grip than snow tire
Vehicle: Subaru
Mileage: 80000 km

It's an ok tire... Better than Chinesium brands but barely keeps up with other bargain brands like Cooper, Nexen, Kuhmo, Falken, etc... "Good for a year" is an old joke about these tires and unfortunately, although not really accurate, their longevity seems a lot lower than older Goodyear tires.

Pros: ok in summer, wet
Cons: terrible on snow, dry rot

I changed tires once, and only once, at Walmart. Everything was awful. The staff were a bunch of untrained amateurs who were impatient and didn\u2019t get the wheel balance right. The car was drivable at 60-80 kph, but it noticeably started to shake at 100 kph (60 mph) on the highway. The Firestones were so incredibly noisy I could barely wait to replace them again.

Cons: noisy, wheel balance issues
