Tires Goodyear or Kleber

I got nearly 70K miles out of my CC2's. That's pretty economical. I did go with Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady 2's this time just because I stacked incentives (USAA = 25% off, Goodyear credit card offered $200 rebate). They were really good in this recent NY storm.

Just put 4 Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady 2’s on our ‘24 and they’re rockstars. Bit of a mileage hit but that also could be because it’s winter and the car is warming up more in the mornings here in New England.

I bought Goodyear weather ready 2. First winter season is going great. I love them and they beat the benchmark crossclimate on tire rack testing.

Kleber Quadraxer 3 and BFGoodrich Advantage All Season are also made by the Michelin group, as second tier brands, and they have a similar performance profile to the Cross Climate 2 as they have very strong winter performance.

Walmart have Goodyear at 150 a tire and 18 bucks to fit.

I have the Reliant's on my Fusion and they have been great.

Duratracs on my excursion always because I traveled a lot in the snow and ice in Wyoming, beat anything else I tried, until it got muddy or rainy. They wouldn't clean out for shit, didn't seem like enough swiping but that was the older version of them. All my ranch vehicles ran them and I had zero issue, snow, sand, rocks just sucked in mud or rainy asphalt.

I actually didn't hate them on jeeps I've had in the past. Both my tj and xj had them. Iirc they were a 45k tire. Did ok in the ice and snow, but not excellent. Honestly they were pretty ok tires. With reasonable care, they Delt with slush and light snow pretty well when above the bottom 1/3 of the Tread. Ice was so-so, Reasonable enough to stop my xj without abs. They did pretty good off road, good enough to keep up with a stock or lightly modded jeep, and would probably tackle trails fine with careful lines and good technique. They fell flat in the wet. They were a little bit slick in the rain on pavement, and would turn into a grease ball in the mud.... But they weren't a mud tire. I bet they would be A perfectly reasonable choice for anybody living south of Iowa, or out west. Within reason they were just fine in Minnesota as well.

I had Ultragrip Performance G1s on my Kia and they were a pretty bad experience noise-wise, so I'm hesitant to go with Goodyear again.

Every Goodyear tire I have owned was pure shit. A set of Ling Longs would have been better. So premium price, not premium tire?
