Tires Firestone or GT Radial

GT Radial Tires

The GT Radial SX2 is 200tw and there are a few super cheap sizes out there. I like them enough that this is my second set.

Pros: super cheap sizes
Vehicle: Mazda

Ran Firestone on my old truck, same model number it came with. 65k, on the 1st set, 70k on the 2nd and had 65k on the 3rd set when I sold the truck.

Mostly highway driving, a lot of country roads. Tire pressure and regular rotation is what got me there.

Pros: high mileage, regular rotation
Mileage: 65000 km

GT Radial Tires

I decided to go with [GT Radial SX2](https://www.gtradial-us.com/sport/champiro-sx2/) tires, these are low grip tires that I want to use daily plus track duty. I choose these because they are better for learning and don't hide mistakes, provide great feedback, last long, handle track heat.

Pros: great feedback, last long
Cons: low grip

GT Radial Tires

I am currently using GT Radial (budget Indonesian brand) all terrain for our SUV and it performs a lot better off-road for me than the Yokohama Geolandar I replaced it with.

Pros: better off-road performance

My Wrangler came with Destination M/Ts. They are awesome tires. I have 3 new ones sitting in my garage because I could not get the size I wanted when I lifted the Jeep. Went with Toyos. The Destinations are on my off-road trailer too and nothing wrong with them.

Pros: awesome tires

GT Radial tires are manufactured by Giti Tire, a Singapore-based tire manufacturer with nine facilities worldwide. Ironman tires are a budget sub-brand of Hercules Tires, which is in partnership with Cooper Tires, and manufactures its tires in different countries.

Realistically they are probably close to equivalent to each other, but both are low end budget tire brands. They seem to fair well on dry pavement and do marginally well in wet conditions, but are noticeably lacking in snow and winter conditions.

Pros: fair well on dry pavement
Cons: lacking in snow, winter

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

Dang Firestone charges me 170 and can’t even clean the old wheel weight adhesive (from them) off, plus they overinflated each tire by 10psi. Maybe time to go somewhere else, I mean at least they haven’t damaged my rims like I’ve dealt with almost every other time.

Cons: overinflated tire, didn’t clean adhesive
