Goodyear Fortera TripleTred — 255/55HR18
Related Entries: Automobiles
Last post about car stuff, promise! I didn’t know tires could make a difference. My OEM Goodyear Wrangler HP tires lasted 57,000, which is longer than what most people get from those tires (based on tirerack.com opinions). I was going to get the same tires when I found out about the Goodyear Fortera TripleTreds. At first, I didn’t like the look of the tred, however, I still went ahead and bought them — they have a 60,000 mile tread warranty plus a 30-day trial period. The 255/55HR18 TripleTred tire looks really nice and the tires perform exceptionally! A much smoother ride and the tire really grips the road. This is the highest rated tire at tirerack.com and it’s all true.

Damn! You were just starting to warm up. I don’t know about you, but I can’t judge a tire until I’ve put it through some elements. A light rain or some snow perhaps? Before that it is sort of like the feeling that you can run faster when you put on a new pair of sneakers…all in your head.

Marc,
Good point… I think a lot of it is “all in my head”. Anything is better than my almost front bald tires these replace… it’s raining here in Seattle and they have been solid, I might take it up to the mountain to check out how well they perform in the snow… just for the hell of it :)

I got 45k on my stock GTI treads … cannot recall the brand. But I thought 45k was great. 57k is amazing … I mean were they bald at 57k? ;)
