Tires Goodyear or Laufenn

I just got set of 4 rated for 80k miles (Goodyear) installed, balanced, with roadside assistance etc for $450 all in for cyber monday at walmart

We have most recently been purchasing Goodyear from Walmart. They tend to have good sales in November and December. We have gotten 4 sets from there in the past 2 years (including last month). So many because we have 7 vehicles.

I had a big coupon for Goodyear weatherready 2 tires, so I bought a pair since I got them right about $1000 installed

Goodyear Assurance Weatherready2 have been amazing. I just put a set on my 24 Tucson. They go amazing in the snow.

I bought Goodyear Eagle Exhilerates on sale and they are great. Quiet, great traction and smooth.

Most will do all-season tires such as the Michelin Crossclimate 2 or Goodyear Assurange WeatherReady 2

Have the gy exhilarates, been good, but now discontinued, only had to replace 1 because of sidewall bubble.

I drove the Vector gen3 for two winters just because they came almost brand new with my car. I am a very calm and mindful driver and my suv is 150hp (awd) and top speed 170 km/h, so the performance never felt lacking , including druring blizzards and on shiny slippery ice. That's with my driving style and without mountains, mostly flat roads. But I feel that if you constantly push them to the limit, you may get mixed results. Especially on compacted snow with frozen tire tracks, it can be quite unsettling experience. I think the excellent awd made it feel sufficient, but I never felt completely stable and completely safe. All-seasons are usually a bearable compromise and aren't excellent at anything. This Goodyear felt rather solid and just the fact I could drive in 40C and highway speeds, and in -15C in snow is very impressive. BUT at only 3 years old they were already dry rotting and all cracked, to the point one started leaking through the sidewall. Tread wear was also very rapid. The Goodyear had so much noise, including some vibrations and even a loud roar at high(er) speed. I honestly thought it might be my rear diff indicating it wants an oil change. I didn't know it was all just from the tires. Now I only hear some slight wind and nothing else. I guess the all-season compound baked during the summer and lost its qualities, just as the winter compound would.

I've had nothing but trouble out of Goodyear since the 90s. Granted, I've only been foolish enough to buy 2 sets since then. Gravel can exacerbate their poor rubber trouble too.

I have the same tires on my work van (Ford Transit), also from 2022 and they look the same. They are also very understeery in wet weather
