Tires Kumho or Goodyear

Goodyear related: I remember the F1 dsg3's (IIRC) that were OE on the MK4 GLI 1.8t. being one of the best wet weather tires I had experienced up till that point.

I actually just grabbed a set of Kumho solus 4s all weather for Canadian driving and I absolutely love them on my awd suv! It was between those and the falcon wildpeak AT trail …both had great reviews so I went with the Kumho because slightly cheaper and I think I can see myself buying these again

Goodyear Assurance Weather Ready. Liking these tires in the snow.

We have/had Duratracs on (4) of our vehicles currently. 99’ F250, 98’ TJ, 04’ LJ & 14’ JK.

I won’t run another tire unless i get a good reason. Started running them after a guy who owns a snow removal business said they worked better than any other tire on his fleet trucks.

Amazing traction. Great in the snow/ice. (West Michigan) Good tread life. Tough tire offroad.

I live in snowy Canada and it's my first winter running duratrac 3 peaks. So far the grip seems good. I have more confidence in deeper snow and I've been able to drive right up to my dumpster regularly (which is in a difficult to reach location with a 3ft snow bank and 2ft of snow all around).

Currently have their All-weathers Kumho HA 32. Snowed a ton in BC and having no issues on plowed roads and sidestreets. Handles much better in rain than my OEM Bridgestone Ecopias. Burns ~10-15% more gas in comparison thou.

Spend the extra $ and get the Kuhmos. Kumho Ecsta PA51 is pretty good for a budget UHP tire. It does seem a bit weak on winter traction though….

If your car feels like it’s bouncing/bobbing sideways (I’m guessing that’s what you mean by “bubbling”), it’s probably due to the softer material used on the winter tires. I’m running a set of Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady and they show the same behavior. The effect will less noticeable eventually as the tire passes the break-in period.

I have the 2019 warlock crew 4wd, and run snows 6 months of the year and 62k km. I bought new. So OE wranglers have about 30k km and are done. I’ve towed 3 or 4 times, no offroading. Pretty disappointed but I guess for OE its typical. Snows look good.

I got 3 years/70k out of them. Absolute dog shit for traction but they still had some tread when I changed them out for continentals.
