Tires Kumho or Goodyear

Went with Goodyear WinterCommands in 215/65/17 on VW steel rims. Worked them into the deal when we purchased the Tig. Definitely didnt want to run 19s in the winter.

I actually run the kumho ecsta pa31! So far I love everything about them, they have tons of grip and really low road noise if that's something you're concerned about.

When I bought my car it had a mix of winter tires and odd budget tires all round. I got all 4 replaced for some decent Goodyear eagle F1's with balancing and tracking and had no regrets.

Have them on my TJ in 32.5” been very happy with them especially in snow.

I have 17s and I am on my second set. I got over 60k rotating 5 on the first set. Great grip in wet weather and excellent in snow too. Not too loud either.

Have had 3 sets, best at tire around. Much better than the KO2s I’ve had. 10/10 recommend

I have the Wrangler duratracs on 17"s and love them. They are great in all types of weather and performed really well off roading.

Have about ~25k miles on them and they seem to be at the halfway point in their lifespan.

I have Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max, seem decent and capable in mild snow and slush. quiet too.

I tried kumhos on my gti and x3. Not happy with them. After some wear they get really loud and feel un balanced

I have seen Goodyear tires (that have not been ran flat) that are just completely destroyed. The rubber compound and the foundation of the tire is just complete garbage. Most Goodyear tires that fail are only a few years old, and should have many miles left in them. The pre-mature cracking, and ply separation in these tires is extreme!
