Tires Toyo or Goodyear

The Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady2 won Tire Rack's first place overall rating last year. The weaknesses of this tire are noise and fuel economy, and even in those areas, their performance is above average. Excellent heat/cold, wet/dry/snow performances on track and on skid pad testing.

The Rav4 with these tires did a fantastic job on snowy interstate, and through snow-covered Berkshire mountain uppy/downy roads with multiple inches of snow on them. My biggest complaint is the sensor warnings stopping me from being able to monitor AWD activity on the dash. Otherwise no complaints and significantly increased confidence in inclement winter weather.

Love my Toyo AT-3, I went away from E to C years ago they look good

Kelly Safari A/T. Made by Goodyear. I got load range E for rock climbing but also comes in C. 3peaks snow rated. My second set. My used FJ came with a set on it. Rides great on the highway too.

I like Goodyear Assurance. But I'm only one person! I do avoid Kumho tires - I hated them on my car.

Goodyear WeatherReadys are pretty good for all year. If you live on the western side of the state you might want some dedicated snow tires.

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.

Major tire recalls in 2025 involved Continental, Nitto, and Toyo for tread detachment/production issues, affecting many truck/SUV tires like Nitto Crosstek 2, Toyo Open Country, and Continental TerrainContact/Grabberlines.

I got Goodyear Reliants and absolutely regretted. By far the loudest tires I've ever had.

Goodyear tires are notorious for doing this. Several factors play a role on why this happens. Overweight from running low air pressure, vehicle sitting for a period of time in the sun.
