Tires Nexen or Goodyear

For your Prius and the ’04 Accord you don’t need anything crazy, something like Michelin Defender 2 or Goodyear Assurance will last forever and ride nice.

I got nearly 70K miles out of my CC2's. That's pretty economical. I did go with Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady 2's this time just because I stacked incentives (USAA = 25% off, Goodyear credit card offered $200 rebate). They were really good in this recent NY storm.

Just put 4 Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady 2’s on our ‘24 and they’re rockstars. Bit of a mileage hit but that also could be because it’s winter and the car is warming up more in the mornings here in New England.

I bought Goodyear weather ready 2. First winter season is going great. I love them and they beat the benchmark crossclimate on tire rack testing.

I had some on a Kia Soul. They were fine. Lasted 45,000 miles. If I was on a tight budget I would look at them.

They have solid pricing, I got a set of Nexen tires last year and they rock.

Have the gy exhilarates, been good, but now discontinued, only had to replace 1 because of sidewall bubble.

I drove the Vector gen3 for two winters just because they came almost brand new with my car. I am a very calm and mindful driver and my suv is 150hp (awd) and top speed 170 km/h, so the performance never felt lacking , including druring blizzards and on shiny slippery ice. That's with my driving style and without mountains, mostly flat roads. But I feel that if you constantly push them to the limit, you may get mixed results. Especially on compacted snow with frozen tire tracks, it can be quite unsettling experience. I think the excellent awd made it feel sufficient, but I never felt completely stable and completely safe. All-seasons are usually a bearable compromise and aren't excellent at anything. This Goodyear felt rather solid and just the fact I could drive in 40C and highway speeds, and in -15C in snow is very impressive. BUT at only 3 years old they were already dry rotting and all cracked, to the point one started leaking through the sidewall. Tread wear was also very rapid. The Goodyear had so much noise, including some vibrations and even a loud roar at high(er) speed. I honestly thought it might be my rear diff indicating it wants an oil change. I didn't know it was all just from the tires. Now I only hear some slight wind and nothing else. I guess the all-season compound baked during the summer and lost its qualities, just as the winter compound would.

My v6 Camaro currently has some tired Eagle Touring tires. These tires are super under-steer crazy.

I can say without a doubt that I will never spend money on another Goodyear tire. I've seen sidewalls bubble within minutes of installation, go flat from a pine cone, and dry rot in months.
