Hi Scotty, i drive over 200k miles with Godyear All Seasons Tyres. Bevore i had a Winter and Summertyre sets. After i change to the Goodyear i can tell you that these tyres work better in the winter as my last wintertyres. I can recommend the Goodyear All Seasons 100%!!

Good vid. Being a retired Industrial Engineer from BF Goodrich in Akron, I give you an A+. Goodrich sued Goodyear early on for name infringement. Since Charles Goodyear never ever worked for Goodyear, Goodrich claimed they were simply naming their company similar to Goodrich to make people get confused and buy Goodyear tires believing they were made by Goodrich - which was an established name and, at that time, a much larger and better known company. Goodrich lost that legal fight but did years later launch an advertising campaign with their “We’re the other guys” line. Remember the kids looking up saying “look, it’s the Goodrich blimp!”

Top notch video Scotty! I'm 77yrs and my Father was born in Fifeshire, Scotland in 1899. My Grandad & he owned a garage which they developed from Grandad's Blacksmith business. They were both natural engineers and as a Design Engineer & DIYer myself I was in awe of their design of a trailer, of which they made about a dozen of for the local farmers around the small Fifeshire village. I'm very proud of our Scottish (not Scotch BTW, that's something else! :) inventiveness and I still have a Postcard promoting John Dunlop's products, from early 1900s, which my Dad left. There was nothing Dad didn't know about servicing the model T Ford and he marvelled, at the time, about the thin components they used for the crankshaft etc as I think the USA metallurgy was ahead of ours then. Of course, we're ahead now! 🤪 Key Pup the good, even great, work Scotty! What the hell are we going to do when you're gone? NoAxe

I too am in Toronto. U find those perform well in the snow? Like that crazy insane (nothing like the US just had tho) storm we had last winter?

[@Antiorganizer]

Reasonable to use those in Toronto. However, places like Ottawa or Montreal get more snow and winter tires provide better stopping distance. The CC2s are great, but winters are better still.

[@No_Comment87]

Winter tires are always better in snow and cold but.....the cross climate 2 is amazing. If you don't already own winter tires and cross climate 2 fits your vehicle they are definitely the all season tire to buy in Canada.

[@mossmiller]

In case no one mentioned it yet, the tire at the very beginning of the video is the Pirelli Winter Cinturato, made in Russia and it got me thorough a blizzard a few years back. It morphs into an all-season tire as the tread wears down, with the tread indication "No Snow" after about 12,000 miles. These tires are a necessity in winter here in the North East.

[@bbrad628]

Tire rubber starts to dry-out from Day 1 after their manufacture. When buying tires, ask the seller to tell you the manufacture date also imprinted on the tire sidewall. The tires should be 1 year or less, otherwise the seller is selling old inventory. If over a year old, either don’t buy them or demand a discount. Tires, driven on or not, lifecycle is around 6 years or less.

[@tacocin]

Might have been a good idea to talk about UTQG, Temperature & Traction ratings. Example: 720 A B It's important when comparing tires.

[@solarfall2728]

Those ratings are almost meaningless. Each company rates their own tires, and there's no set standard that everyone uses. Back in the 80's, when people started reading things like Consumer Reports, customers started looking at these numbers and the tire companies kept re-rating the same exact tire with higher and higher treadwear numbers. Those numbers really don't count for much.

[@tacocin]

@@solarfall2728 Partially correct ... manufacturers do indeed assign their own ratings. However, they do so under the guidance of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) who establishes the Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standards in 49 CFR 575.104. The NHTSA has the right to inspect the tire manufacturer's data and can fine them if inconsistencies are found.

[@solarfall2728]

@@tacocin I'm not partially correct. I'm 100% correct. Those numbers are a scam. I've seen with my own eyes the same exact tire get re-rated every year or so to keep up with other companies. Its fairly well documented. The laws aren't too specific. That's how they get away with it. Its been going on for decades.

[@boobtubeakatv1296]

@@solarfall2728 The reason they get re-rated is from the change in construction. They may look the same to your eyes but different in the makeup. NHTSA does a good job at holding tire companies liable for mislabeled ratings. They could and have lost millions from liabilities.

@@boobtubeakatv1296 You're wrong. I'm not guessing. What I'm telling you is a fact. You can check for yourself, and believe what you wish. But regardless of what your beliefs are, the exact same tires were re-rated. Check for yourself.

FWIW, I learned back in the 1990's that if you buy good rain tires, they will be good in the snow, as well. Goodyear made the 'Aquatred'. R&S sold the 'Aquaflow' (or some other similar named tire, I can't remember) for about half the price, and it worked wonderfully, even in the blizzard of 1996 when we got 3 feet of snow. Wife drove home with those tires in her little car, with no problems at all. She did as well as I did in my big 4wd SUV with mud/snow tires. Why? because rain tires have deep grooves, which can remove lots of snow.

(I didn’t have the heart to tell my little Suzuki that she wasn’t a 4WD truck! LOL She was AWESOME in snow and ice!)

[@mcdon2401]

Most underrated part on a car...it's the only connection to the road, yet many people are only interested in putting on the cheapest they can find. Pro tip, you won't get a tyre that works in all weathers, lasts 100,000 miles, doesn't get punctures and doesn't need the pressures checked regularly, and certainly not for £10 a corner.

[@ogshotglass9291]

Added note from the end during tire pressure bit: if you are either racing or going to be continually driving on a highway for long periods of time in weather above 90 degrees, be sure to let out a little air actually, especially close to the engine. The friction from the road and ambient engine temperature causes heat buildup and increases tire pressure, and the tire can pop in those conditions. I see blown tires constantly here in the SoCal desert in Barstow in the summer due to over-inflated tires or properly inflated tires driven too long. It regularly hits above 110 degrees Fahrenheit here in the summer, and in August can go to around 115-120 highs and 85 degree lows for close to a week straight. Much of the people I've helped have tried to go from Los Angeles areas to Las Vegas or Needles or vice versa nonstop, except stopping for gas in Barstow. NOT a good idea actually to do that nonstop.

[@noob.168]

I usually just bring an extra set.

[@JustAlanIsCool]

Don't forget the 4-digit number on the sidewall: Example "0818" means that the tire was manufactured in the 8th week of the year 2018. First two digits are the week, last two indicate year. Useful when you check out a car that has new used tires with 90% tread made 10 years ago 😐

Very interesting history of the tire. When I was a teenager I worked in my grandfather's tire store then at a Goodyear tire store changing tires. Back then it was dirty, hard, work, especially trucks, and especially dangerous with split rims and tractor tires that had to be put inside steel cages when filling. Another worker who didn't take precautions when filling up a tractor tire and sat on it while filling it got launched across 3 bays and was lucky not to be killed.

Fun fact: the origin of tires goes back a lot farther than Goodyear. The steel belt around the outside of a wagon wheel is also called a "tyre."

Depending on where you live, I was in Phoenix for over two decades, hot climates destroy rubber and that includes tires, windshield wipers, radiator hoses and belts etc. I'm surprised Scotty didn't mention that four digit code, he lived in Houston for so many years. Maybe the humidity helped tires last a little longer than 5 years. But any tire I have that's over 5 years old I take off the car. They won't hold up forever. Which is why zombie movies and apocalypse movies are so dumb to me when people start driving old cars. The batteries would be dead, the gasoline would be gel, and the tires would be completely rotten. Rubber does not hold together forever.

Love the new video format and style. It's perfect. I love the way you explain the facts in this video compared to your older ones. It's much easier to understand as your communication is better here. Love it. Keep your future videos like this. It's better.

[@MyGuyKirby]

This is one of your best informational videos, all drivers should view this one.

[@kenrubin4461]

Scotty. Thank you. You Rock! I actually found out today I need tires

[@davidhoulden5791]

I live in an area that gets lots of snow and have been using Nokian "All Weather" tires on my Corolla, so far after 3 years I am very happy with them. All Weather tires are truly 4 season and have the distinct "snow" rating vs. All Season which are really 3 season tires.

Hey Mr. Kilmer! I love your content. Always informative and respectful. Doesn’t hurt to mention that I’m a former Texan from close to the same Houston area as yourself. I currently drive a 2015 Ram. V6, reg cab 4x4. I put a set of BF Goodrich TA ko 2 on her. I’m Currently in west KY close to the land between the lakes. As you know, we got a ton of snow and ice. These tires along with the 4x4 capabilities of my Ram are amazing. I have no trouble with stop line acceleration, turning, or flat out stopping. The truck goes where I want it to. I only break traction when I want to. I just want to say that if you have a 4x4 and live in any area that has adverse weather conditions, the TA KO 2 tire is the way to go. Amazing grip and performance. Even in summer driving. Keep up the great work. From one Texan to another, yeehaw.

Thank you Scotty, the most under rate component in a vehicle.

[@bluehawk7342]

Did I miss something? I was expecting a recommendation for a specific tire brand that would "last forever."

[@notreally2406]

Me too WTF

[@jaycho6747]

First time?…

[@nadien1958]

i ran my tires at around 40 psi. but every time i had to get the fixed -- nail or other creating 'slow leak'. the tech would use the "recommended factory setting" of 36 psi. every time I drove away, it was around 2-5 miles away, the TPMS would go of for low tire pressure and it was always the the I had fixed. personally, I think I was using the wrong repair shop. unfortunately as a diesel mechanic, i don't own my own repair shop. keep up the good work and i did see your vid on the Kia. I bought a Forte, but not because of your vid, it just happened, my VW was in need of s $2k+ cam job.

[@joeseda8102]

Great info Scotty! Having personally analyzed the cost of tires and installation costs versus the cost of parts and labor for front/rear suspension over the last 15 years, I have come to the conclusion that lowering tire pressures by 3-5psi under manufacturers specifications gives me a much nicer/smoother ride and much less wear on major suspension components. Tire wear has basically been insignificant than running them at factory specs and i am on my second set of tires in that time span. I have also noticed that tires wear out in a much flatter wear pattern when i check the print patterns. Using wider rims and slightly bigger tires has also greatly improved handling of vehicle at higher speeds and while cornering. I have switched many of my customers at the shop to similar and appropriate wheel/tire combos and they are very happy at the major ride/handling improvements plus the long term savings on chassis component repairs. During the last 15 years they have saved tons of money on repairs and components just by making those small changes and have yet to visit alignment shops. Wheel hub bearings have not been changed during that time but only on two customer's cars out of the 50 cars i set as limit for the long term test. CV-joint problems have occurred on only 5 of the 50 vehicles. Most of these customers run their cars around 65% of the time on highways and 35% in city driving. Just thought readers would like to have that type of info for their own personal use.

Scotty! You’re forgetting Harvey Firestone. Pioneered the mass manufacturing of the pneumatic tire and struck a deal with Henry Ford in 1906 to put his tires on the Model T’s.

[@5argetech56]

Here is one reason why your videos get so many views. It's because they provide valuable useful information that you can apply to your vehicle on a daily basis. Thank you very much Scotty.🥰

[@poetrynook962]

Could you discuss the date on the tires and how tires start to go bad almost immediately after being manufactured?

[@stevefick3919]

God Bless Texas! Good move going to Tennessee, eh Scotty? WOW! Hopefully, the cold will lift soon.

[@florret2003]

Scotty moved to Tennessee because he wanted to try out some snow tires. Little did he know he could have stayed in Texas.

[@dr4nujgaming391]

So whats the best for me to get in dry/wet road tires?

[@davidhoffman1278]

What are you driving and what tire size does it use?

This video made me tired?!! Haha! Great job Scotty!

[@elizabethjansen2684]

Ouch

[@brustertherooster]

First video of Scotty's I've seen where he is not hollering. I like it when he talks more calm.

[@Hammerhead547]

Fun Fact: the Michelin Tire Company created the "Michelin Star Award" in the 1960's as a way to sell more tires by granting awards to restaurants that would get people traveling great distances too eat there.

[@sylviahouder6665]

I always wondered how Michelin got involved with a food rating. Thank you.

[@aussieazz]

That's my most fun fact today, thanks 👍

[@David-lr2vi]

I always wondered what what the go was with that! I just figured there must have been a famous chef or something that shared the same name!

[@NikoBellaKhouf]

@@sylviahouder6665 they created the Michelin guide because back then you had to travel great distances to get your tires changed and it took a long time so people needed to know where they can go get a bite to eat locally that's good.

[@bryantwhitis1268]

Michelin put out a new tire the cross climate 2 it's an all season tire. I wanting Scotty Kilmer to give me his opinion on them. The reviews are positive.

[@frankcerbantes9429]

That's why Good year s are still on top my favorite after Michs

[@gillhall2777]

Everytime I watch one of your podcasts I learnt something and it was a pleasure to listen to you

[@---David---]

Would love to see more educational videos like this from you Scotty. 👍

[@Phil-D83]

I use all seasons in spring-summer-fall. I like quiet and rain grip. Winter tires in winter. No issues

[@olegdrozd3856]

Amazing job, Scotty! Tires 101 - 111 in under 11 minutes !!! Great history lesson and all the needs to know about tires in one short video! Very pleasant video class! Thank you, Scotty once again, for do what you do and sharing your auto love with millions around globe! We, the regular folk that can't afford to buy a new car period ( forget about buying new model every year without hitting national lottery! ) do love your videos and learn a whole bunch about cars! P.S. To bully lawyers of big car companies: is there consciousness involved in being a$$ holes?
