Tires Goodyear or Cooper

Cooper discoverer st max, I drive lots of gravel roads and get lots of mileage out of them, I like bfg at’s but the gravel chews them up

Continental Extreme Contact for winter and Goodyear Eagle Sport all season. Was expecting to remove the seasonal tires but have not done so in last 2 years. Seventy percent highway/ thirty city. Very good tire in snow and ice. Was not expecting that. Benefits: gas mileage up about 50km per tank, better handling on pavement (less mushy on highway) due to less sipes in tread. Great handling less body roll, crisp cornering.

Depends on which brand you're interested in. In the past I've bought BFGs and Ingold's in Durham was my jam, but this time I'm going with Coopers and Discount Tire seems to have the best price.

I have Firestone Winterforce tires on 15" Forester wheels for the winter set and Goodyear Assurance all seasons on 16" impreza wheels for summer tires.

I just replaced my worn out Michelin's with a brand new set of Cooper RS3-G1 tires (235-45-17) and the traction from a standing start is impressive.

Goodyear Supercar 3 needs the most heat. The stickiest of the three. Good trackable street tire.

Tire fit no rubbing at full lock so I ordered three more. The increased diameter is noticeable under acceleration, but I can live with it.

Goodyear Assurance Triple-tread tires (really love these in the snow/wet, great daily tires!)

I worked at Goodyear for 3 years and you are partially correct. Their quality isn't bad across the board, it is just not consistent. Some are great and last way longer than they should while others are just junk. I had 2 Ultra Grip Winters blow out on me a few hours apart (2 days after they were mounted).

I was always a Michelin fan until I started dealing with Cooper/Mastercraft tires in 2010 or so. Haven't put anything else on a car. I'm not pleased by the Cooper CTS I put on my moms car but those will be warrantied no problem.
