Tires Goodyear or NANKANG

I’ve now had 3 different sets of these tires. On one wrangler I had 31” and switched to 33” after a year, put another set on the other wrangler also. Can’t complain one bit. Not too expensive, great tread, they don’t wear down fast, and most of all they are so quiet.

19 SEL came with Goodyear Assurance tires. No complaints so far at 6K miles. I'll be buying Cooper CS5s when the time comes. I put a set on another car I own and it was like night and day. Never knew a set of tires could make that big a difference in 40+ years of maintaining cars. Far far smoother ride and to top it off they are made in the USA. One of the few left.

Currently using Goodyear Weather Ready tires. They have been great so far. I find they are better than the X-Ice I used to have.

I haven’t looked at the Goodyear data myself, but I have spoken to people at Calspan, and I’ve been told that the Goodyear mu is “10% higher than the Hoosier stuff”.

Last winter I bought then (then brandnew) Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady tires. They are All-seasons, but have the snowflake on the mountain symbol. They did great in the Mid-Atlantic where we don't get more than 2 days of actual snow but a lot of cold rain, occasional sleet and slush. They did come in handy when we visited the in-laws in Erie PA while they got their 100" of snow at Christmas time.

I have 225s (Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice WRT) and one of mine tipped over while changing tires and it got a scuff on it. Would have been worse with 205s.

My trailer had some junk "D" load rated tires that I replaced with "E" load rated Goodyear's and I saw improvement in handling and fuel economy.

I had them on the c5s, drove them prettybhard in all sorts of weather and they were great,.. But at the first sigh of snow they were horrible, barely made it home with a 1/4 in of snow.. Dry wet however was great and to me they seemed silent..

I ran Nankangs for a while, they were fine as long as it was dry, which it is only 10% of the time here. Slipped in slides all over in the wet.

Friends have run these, they are outright terrible in all respects.
