Good Tires, Goodyear

Finding good tires at good prices is a chore.  It can involve hours of research and endless reading of reviews, visits to stores, and discussions with salesmen.  But in the end, a few brand names keep getting mentioned as the best in the middle market of tires; not too expensive, not too cheap, not perfectly sturdy, but definitely not weak.  Amongst these names is a company that has basically become a household name:  Goodyear.

Goodyear truck tires are renowned for good prices and durability.  With an outstanding web-site where they rate their own tires, Goodyear is upfront with the customer regarding each tire, how it performs under wet traction, snow, off-road or whether or not the tires will deafen you with one ride.   Reading the Goodyear site first and select the tires you think might be of interest to you.

Then take that list to more unbiased tire review sites.  Most tire web-sites will carry the universally known brand name, and if your model is readily popular, reviews will be posted.  Read every review to get a general consensus on the tire, including how cost-effective it is, as tires that don’t last are not worth much.  Aside from the regular tire store web-sites like Wheel Works, Discount Tire and Tire101, you will often find reviews on other sites such as Amazon or Epinions.  Consumer Reports, and Consumer Search are two excellent sites for tire reviews and recommendations by the experts.

Goodyear truck tires can be placed on trucks or SUVs.  They have a wide variety of choices, and which one you choose will depend on your specific needs.  Their “TractiveGroove Technology” line is meant for trucks that need high traction, or if you own a truck but want a smooth, quiet ride, their “Silent Armor Technology” line is more suited for your needs.  If durability and toughness is your main concern, “DuPont Kevlar” Goodyear truck tires are always a good bet.  For all-around stable and long-lasting tires with no specific off-roading needs, their extensive “TripleTred Technology” line is suited for most trucks.

Some prime examples of Goodyear truck tires are Fortera Triple Tred.  This particular tires provide 3 tread zones for increased traction.  Be it in snow, rain, or icy environments, these tires will resist slipping and hold on tight to the road.  But they are not meant for off-roading, so if that is what you need, then perhaps the Wrangler line is more for you.  Wrangler MT/R with or without Kevlar all excel in off-roading, but the inclusion of Kevlar make them slightly more usable in dry or wet traction, while making them lose a point in snow traction.  The usage of Kevlar, though, provides for a slightly quieter ride.   These Goodyear truck tires are readily available and are considered durable.  According to Consumer Search, however, they report that mixed reviews on mud and rocks, provide no tread-ware warranty and are quite noisy.  Also, these tires are more expensive than better-rated competitor’s tires.  One search at Consumer Reviews, and you will see that when considering Goodyear Wrangler tires of this model, they recommend the all-terrain Pirelli Scorpion ATR, which costs $125 compared to the Wrangler’s $170. 

Using reviews and gathering information will help you purchase the best Goodyear truck tires for your needs.  Bear this information in mind prior to visiting a retailer that carries Goodyear truck tires so you walk in knowing exactly what you need, and have a very good idea on how much you’re willing to pay for your new tires that will hopefully last a relatively long time.
