Tires Goodyear or Barum

I got a good deal on new Goodyear Winter Commands at end of season in the spring, so I’ll be trying those.

Right now Goodyear has a great sale

I have driven on my Goodyear Wrangler Tires purchased at Walmart under 70k miles over about 5 years, almost 6. I am not even bald.

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 would take the RT45 over any Goodyear Assurance model, especially the Maxlife one which I hear people say has a LOT of road noise at highway speeds.

I got these when they first came out. Worst tires I ever had. They wear out super prematurely on the inside edge due to their “rounded” shape. I only got about 22,000 miles out of them, the OEM Continentals got over 50k before those, and then 40k after before I sold the car. Alignment was good the whole time. Driving style was conservative. These tires also had zero difference in range or performance. In fact I thing the handling was even worse. The road noise was only slightly quieter.

IMP GoodYear is garbage. I had problems with mine from the factory and they stopped making quality tires a long time ago.

Go Michelin - they grip way better in all conditions.
