Tires Nexen or Goodyear

I bought Goodyear tires at Sam’s Club. Exact same price as 11/28/2022. Surprised me.

Excellent all weather tires... A generation newer than the CC2... More balanced overall, so although not quite as good in the snow, the suffer less from road noise and loss of fuel economy.

I had a set of Nexen on a 2011 Honda Civic I had many, many, years ago. They were cheap, but still very good tires.

I just installed the Goodyear Weather Ready 2's that look almost identical to the CC2's. Except the Goodyear has more sipes on the outside of the tire that go all the way through. Installed them on a Volvo XC60.

We've been running the WeatherReady 2's for almost a year on our Santa Fe, in a variety of road conditions, dry, wet, snowy. I've been very satisfied with them.

If you only occasionally go off road or encounter mud and snow, and 85% of your miles are pavement, I'd recommend one of the other two. I have run the Wranglers on my XJ, I currently have the KO2 on my WJ and my Excursion. I'd say the Wrangler handles mud slightly better than the KO2, but the KO2 handles rain, ice, and snow better on the road. Basically, the Wrangler will help you get out of a ditch a little easier, but the KO2 will help you stay out of one to begin with.

I actually didn't hate them on jeeps I've had in the past. Both my tj and xj had them. Iirc they were a 45k tire. Did ok in the ice and snow, but not excellent. Honestly they were pretty ok tires. With reasonable care, they Delt with slush and light snow pretty well when above the bottom 1/3 of the Tread. Ice was so-so, Reasonable enough to stop my xj without abs. They did pretty good off road, good enough to keep up with a stock or lightly modded jeep, and would probably tackle trails fine with careful lines and good technique. They fell flat in the wet. They were a little bit slick in the rain on pavement, and would turn into a grease ball in the mud.... But they weren't a mud tire. I bet they would be A perfectly reasonable choice for anybody living south of Iowa, or out west. Within reason they were just fine in Minnesota as well.

I’ve had wranglers before. They’re essentially a road tire beefed up to look like an offroad tire. Fine for daily driving and gravel roads. Weak sidewalls from what I remember.

I’ve had two Goodyears delam at high speed. Will never consider one again.

Auf meinem Alten habe ich vor fünf Jahren Ganzjahresreifen (Goodyear) drauf gezogen und naja, begeistert bin ich nicht. Hatten eigentlich das ganze Jahr über nen schlechteres Fahrgefühl als die Saisonreifen.
