Tires Goodyear or OEM Volkswagen

If you hop on TireRack.com and don’t mind getting a Goodyear credit card on the spot, you can get a killer deal on the Goodyear Assurance Weatherready which I think would fit your needs well

Great choice! I did the same and we traveled 27k miles with them so far without issue!

Also the first "modification" I made to my new Rockwood. Goodbye Castle Rock (seriously?) tires and hello Goodyear. I took the wheels to the tire shop myself, the first thing I noticed was how much heavier they were with the new Endurance tires installed. That's gotta mean something as far as reliability, all I know is that the peace of mind was money well spent.

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.

Been running these on my JKU for three years now. They tend to get much louder as they age. They're great in snow, but not very good on ice or even wet roads.

My experience with Goodyear is that they are trash.

I bought tires from walmart exactly once. One developed a big bulge in the sidewall after a couple days, one didn't hold air, one had a knock, and they fucked up the weight placement on one so it was hitting my caliper. Never again.
