Tires YOKOHAMA or Goodyear

I had 245/55/r18 Goodyear eagle enforcer winter tires and they are probably the best winter tires I’ve ever had. Even on ice (at reasonable speeds) they handled well.

My first set (255 55 R20) lasted for 4 years. Same size on the 2nd set I had installed in late October of 2023. Superior wet traction in the heaviest of downpours. 80 mph on the parkway with no hiccups! Superb snow traction as well, as I was able to negotiate steep snowy roads with my 2020 Ford Explorer Limited Trim without losing traction.

We've owned a 2018 Tig for ~3 years and would buy again. Reliability at 60k miles has been fairly solid. We did have a problem with the fuel injector harness at 50k miles and it was replaced under warranty. No other issues. The 8 speed transmission is agreeable, no complaints. As well documented elsewhere, it is not one of the fastest compact SUVs, and the engine when pushed hard sounds more like a tractor than a sports car. The total car though is better than its rivals for us. We are running Yokohama Parada Spec-X tires which sharpened up the handling, and it already was competitive in that area. With good handling, steering and visibility, the Tig is not just competent, but even a little fun to drive in its own right. Ours is the R Line SEL Premium. The adaptive LED headlights on this trim level are good. The interior is a pleasant place to be, and materials have all held up well.

Also if you can, get Goodyear assurance. We had them on my husband's old car and they were good. Very little road noise, compared to the cheap Kelly edges the dealership put on his Impreza before we bought it.

I just put Goodyear Eagle Exhilarates on my Miata, 205/45/17’s. So far, so good, also got the road hazard warranty due to the potholes around here.

Since changing to the Goodyear tires, I've hit similar potholes, sometimes even much HARDER, and haven't had a single popped/torn tire (though HAVE had issues with air leaking, which they attributed to the 'tag/sticker' still being on the tire when installed).

Pirelli is now Chinese owned, so I will never buy another set of them. I put Goodyear on my 3 and couldn't be happier with my choice.

I dailied +0 sized duratracs on a stock 2007 4runner for a few years. At 40psi and they were great in just about everything on weekends. But I hated them on damp pavement (concrete highway specifically on big turns at speed felt like they wanted to slip)

2020 XT, I had Yoko Geolandars, now Nokian Outpost APT both 3peak rated, neither are as good as my Yoko IceGuard winter tires in snow/ice or cold weather.

2021 Outback XT and my Yokohama tires drive on snow like it's concrete.
