Tires Nexen or Goodyear

If you want less road noise and smoother ride get some Goodyear assurance comfort drive

We have Goodyear WeatherReady Assurance tires on our Acura MDX and they are far and away the best all-season tires I've ever had. They go nearly toe-to-toe with summer tires and also perform exceptionally in the wet, on ice, and with snow.

I got 4 new Goodyear assurance on my civic for about 450 on some sale, through goodyear's website. The techs fucked up my tpms, but the tires are noticeably better than the old ones.

Got winters and they make a huge difference.

knew I should have replaced them before we left - New Goodyear Endurance all the way around

I had a set of Nexen Winguard Sport 2 on my Golf R and had no issues with them in Vancouver, BC winter.

If it's warm I'd recommend considering the Goodyear SuperCar 3. It is faster than the RS4 or RT615k+, better wearing than the RE71/Rival/Yok.

I worked at Goodyear for 3 years and you are partially correct. Their quality isn't bad across the board, it is just not consistent. Some are great and last way longer than they should while others are just junk. I had 2 Ultra Grip Winters blow out on me a few hours apart (2 days after they were mounted).

Lexus seems to have a really bad habit of putting bare minimum shit tires on their CPO vehicles. They put new $100/tire shit Goodyear LS2 tires on both my '13 and '15 GS...

rather snot-slick. They slip in conditions my baby shoes never did. Overall, they are nice and quiet, but their traction is nowhere near as good as it seems it should be.
