Tires Goodyear or KENDA

Currently have Goodyear Wintercommands on my '06 Lexus ES. Last ones were Bridgestone Blizzaks. I think I prefer the Goodyears, they handle quite well under acceleration. They were a good price too.

I've had very good experience with Goodyear Weather Assurance tires.

I have Goodyear assurance triple treads on my 97 Town Car. 5 years old and over 100,000 miles also! Almost $400 each but well worth it.

Maine here. I have Duratracs on my 3rd gen and BFG KO2s on my 2nd gen. They do make more road noise than the KO2s, but seem like they would perform better than them in deep mud and snow. Comparatively, going from stock all seasons, my 2nd gen lost a little MPG with KO2s, my 3rd gen had a larger difference in loss of MPG with the Duratracs. The Duratracs also seem to fling up fewer small rocks and stones than the KO2s, which I definitely appreciate.

My buddy ran them for years on his first gen. They are great tires. Did well in any season British Columbia had to offer. They last a long time too.

I have them on my Tacoma! There is a bit of road noise with them but nothing that is too unbearable. Living in Canada I will say that they have been pretty good in the winter months as well!

I had them on a 2 door JK and now have them in 265/75r16 on my Tacoma. I live in Salt Lake City and need something that will be decent on the highway to Moab, just as good on the trails, and get me up to the ski resorts in the winter. I love the Duratracs, they’re load e so they are heavier but I wanted the beefy sidewalls for rocks. I think the AT3W might be a more sensible tire around town, but these things perform great and look the best of any AT in my opinion.

Kenda is one of the better China made tires, but given the choice, I’d take the Goodyear’s and continue using my old wheels. It’s actually the choice I recently made.

I am not exactly sure what comes on these but the Good Year Wrangler AT with Kevlar that came on my Tacoma Off Road were the worst tires I have ever owned in 30 or so years. At 20k miles they were done. Every one had a patch. Every one had slow leaks and the wear was crazy at 20k 2 years.

From my personal experience from owning Goodyear’s that they are only good for one good year and horrible in the rain trying to take off from a dead stop.
