Tires Nexen or Goodyear

For the Nexen, I had a set of Nexen Roadian AT tires and they worked well for me.

Great SUV/CUV tire if you don't deal with snow... And Nexen has arguably the best warranty in the tire industry that includes a 2 year road hazard warranty from the manufacturer.

I’ve got Goodyear Wrangler Duratrack 265/70R16 on my 2020 TRD PRO. They’re loud, but let me tell you a story: December 24, 2023 (or 2022) from Nashville we were heading up to West side of Chicago on I65. The further north we went, the weather turned into a blizzard. Semi’s, cars and trucks were all over the road spun out on the side of the road. Could see maybe 20 feet ahead. Seeing everyone else either spun out or driving about 10MPH. Around Elizabethtown KY, I put my Taco into 4 wheel drive (one click of the dial counter-clockwise). With those DuraTracs and the 4 wheel drive, I was able to go 35-40MPH easy driving and fully in control. By Lafayette, IN we were about the only vehicle on the road. All others left or were spun out. Scared the hell out of us. It was amazing. Now, I don’t know about the other makes, but I‘ll take the noise when it means the safety in terrible situations. IMVHO

My next set will be Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6. Both tirerack and tyrereview rave about the good blend of traction, comfort, and wet capabilities.

Apart from FB Marketplace, Nexens are quite good. I have a set of Nexen Winguard Sport 2s on my WRX and so far so good.

2026 a Goodyear

I just replaced the original Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires on my model 3 RWD after about 16,000 miles and 2.5 years. They were down to about 4/32" in places and winter was coming.

I went with the Goodyear ElectricDrive 2's. I've only had them installed about 6 weeks ago so too early to tell about wear but they drive fine.

Something similar happened to my 2016 Civic EX sedan when I switched from the OEM tires, Firestone FT140, at 76,000 miles, to Goodyear Assurance MaxLife tires in October, 2022. I was averaging just under 40 MPG (calculated, NOT using the trip computer) to just under 35 MPG, also with no change in driving habits or routes.

I have a personal distaste for Goodyear (I think that’s what those are. We called em good for a a year even when they were new.

Triple Treds dry rot in 2 years anyway
