  • Ride comfort:
Rating 4.5

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).

Pros: no issues, great performance
Vehicle: Toyota
Mileage: 15000 km

GT radial UHP AS tires are like $70 a tire, and more than good enough for the street. I even took them on track for a session, and while they are a bit floppy, they're also way better in the rain and more comfortable than most summer tires.

Pros: good for the street, better in rain
Cons: a bit floppy
Vehicle: Toyota

I'm on my 3rd year with Firestone Firehawk A/S tires. Roads in Oklahoma are crap around here. But no problem with my 18's.

Pros: no problem with 18's
Cons: crap roads

Firestone Weathergrips are great tires. I had them on a 2011 Escape before it got hit by a retard. They handled an Alberta winter no problem, however my studded winters were obviously still better.

Pros: handled winter no problem
Cons: studded winters better
Vehicle: Ford Escape

I have these on a BMW 528i and they’re great. Good responsive steering and is confident in canyon carving in Colorado. I disagree with every negative you listed.

Pros: good responsive steering
Vehicle: BMW

These tires are terrible. I’m in MA and they struggle in light snow. Mine only have 32k miles but I’m replacing them asap because they are actually dangerously bad, even in 4WD

Cons: terrible, struggle in snow
Mileage: 51500 km
