Tires Nexen or Goodyear

I got a good deal on new Goodyear Winter Commands at end of season in the spring, so I’ll be trying those.

Right now Goodyear has a great sale

I have driven on my Goodyear Wrangler Tires purchased at Walmart under 70k miles over about 5 years, almost 6. I am not even bald.

For context I have worked in the tire industry the last 6 years. The 2 Goodyear, which are clearly your new tires, are perfectly fine.

3r is the goated non-slick tire. Rapid pace and great durability during it’s life (3 track days). The only other tires that compete in pace are the cup2R and the trofeo R.

SC3R is excellent. Very forgiving at the limit and just over the limit, easy to get heat into them and they handle heavy loads very well. Probably a better track-day tire than the RE71RS, but I can’t speak to the Nankang. Even when pretty old or near the end of the their life, they retain pretty good limit-handling characteristics, even if they do lose a little pace.

I mostly can't get 200tw track tires that fit my car, but the Supercar 3R is a wonder compared to its main competitors in the category of OEM performance car fitments (Cup 2, Trofeo R). Substantially faster, more consistent, and cheaper.

It's the cheapest tire that's kept in stock at my Sam's club. There are probably longer lasting budget tires, but there are far worse.

They are a softer rubber with less tread than the other Goodyear options. So they must be rotated and maintained or you won't have good mileage out of them.

Alignment, air pressure, and general maintenance will cause tire issues regardless of the tire type though. So again...it's a very average cheap tire.

Nexen Roadian GTX came with my 22 tucson and they’re almost down to nothing after 21k miles. And we woke up to a puncture this morning to top it off.

Had them on my TJ and they were deafening on the highway.
