Tires Goodyear or OEM Toyota

For context I have worked in the tire industry the last 6 years. The 2 Goodyear, which are clearly your new tires, are perfectly fine.

3r is the goated non-slick tire. Rapid pace and great durability during it’s life (3 track days). The only other tires that compete in pace are the cup2R and the trofeo R.

SC3R is excellent. Very forgiving at the limit and just over the limit, easy to get heat into them and they handle heavy loads very well. Probably a better track-day tire than the RE71RS, but I can’t speak to the Nankang. Even when pretty old or near the end of the their life, they retain pretty good limit-handling characteristics, even if they do lose a little pace.

I mostly can't get 200tw track tires that fit my car, but the Supercar 3R is a wonder compared to its main competitors in the category of OEM performance car fitments (Cup 2, Trofeo R). Substantially faster, more consistent, and cheaper.

I'm happy to report that after several months of driving I've enjoyed the Reliant a lot. They've been good performers in the wet and are wearing quite nicely.

The Goodyear reliant from Walmart are affordable and unlike other cheapo tires the side walls aren’t paper thin

I work at Goodyear and they look like normal new snows to me, the softer rubber can pick dirt and other shit up faster than other tire models if not driven in winter conditions if you’re referring to the faded coloration

It's the cheapest tire that's kept in stock at my Sam's club. There are probably longer lasting budget tires, but there are far worse.

They are a softer rubber with less tread than the other Goodyear options. So they must be rotated and maintained or you won't have good mileage out of them.

Alignment, air pressure, and general maintenance will cause tire issues regardless of the tire type though. So again...it's a very average cheap tire.

No, the tread rolled off my tire after 40,000 miles and only 3 years old.

Noticed these two splits on the sidewall of this Goodyear Assurance tire, they’re less than 4 years old, manufactured on the 39th week of 2020, it’s a 225/45R18, wondering if anyone ever had an issue like this one on such a new tire or if maybe I should watch out for someone trying to slash my tires? Contacted Goodyear about this issue just now and it’ll be getting replaced either way tomorrow
