got a good deal for $200 per tire at discount tire. Will update how it rides.
Terrific tires. We have about 45K miles on the ones on my wife's RX and there's easily another 20K+ tread life left.

Pretty sure it is the Goodyear Assurance MaxLife. I bought them also in part due to his review/input.

500 mile update on the assurance max life. These tires are smooth. I hear more air noise than tire. Fantastic grip in the wet and very good handling. Very satisfied

12/32 treat means these are going to last a while.

I totally agree with the assessment of the Goodyear Max Life. We have 14,000 miles and they are like new.

How is the grip on dry roads and in the rain?
I find that it’s hard to find a tire that meets the best of both words - good longevity/treadwear, but also good grip in the rain.

I have been pleased in all weather conditions except snow and ice. Blizzaks beat all season tires in the winter.

the deeper tread depth means it can move more water out of the tread (so tire isn't rotating on top of water which is what kills grip)

One thing I've noticed is my MPG has gone down from about 22-23 to 20 MPG with these tires. I did have the Ecopias (which claim to have optimized mpg), but something to take note of. Could also be tires breaking in.
I did make sure cold tire pressure were 33 PSI (as instructed on the driver side door jamb).

It could be gas I filled, but I will re-evaluate after trying out different gas station with same octane rating ofc.

Will be heading out for a 400 mile trip from Dallas to San Antonio tomorrow, so will see how tire performs on longer drives.

Interesting. I did not see any decrease in mpg with the GA MaxLife tires (coming from the Michelin Premier). If anything it may have gone up a little. I routinely average 22 - 23 mpg in mixed. If I do a long highway cruise then it is about 27.

Default 2019 F-Sport...time for some new tires!

Looking for some recommendations for tires to consider for my wife's 2019 F-Sport (AWD). We live in Florida so we do not need all season tires. I don't mind the Bridgestone Ecopia H/L 422 Plus tires that came on the vehicle but wanted to see if we could achieve some better ride out of some better tires.

Recommendations?

I would recommend Michelin Crossclimate 2.
