From owners

Pros, cons & observations

Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.

Tire A Cooper Discoverer EnduraMax

Not enough owner reviews yet to extract themes.

Tire B Goodyear ElectricDrive 2

The Goodyear ElectricDrive 2 is generally regarded as a solid, value-oriented replacement tire for electric vehicles, frequently praised for its durability and ride comfort compared to various OEM options. While many users report a smooth and quiet experience, a notable segment of owners—particularly Tesla drivers—report a measurable decrease in energy efficiency and occasional handling characteristics that fall short of premium competitors like Michelin.

Pros

  • Improved tread durability compared to many OEM tire options
  • Generally quiet and smooth ride quality on most road surfaces
  • Strong value proposition relative to premium EV-specific tires
  • Reliable dry weather traction and pressure retention

Cons

  • Increased energy consumption (10-15% higher Wh/mi reported by some users)
  • Handling and cornering performance perceived as inferior to premium alternatives
  • Occasional reports of vibration issues or 'floaty' steering feel
  • Requires a warm-up period to reach optimal comfort levels

Observations

  • Tesla Model 3 owners provided the most polarized feedback, with some citing significant noise and vibration issues while others found them to be a quiet, effective upgrade.
  • Users driving high-performance EVs noted that while the tires are durable under aggressive acceleration, they lack the precision handling required for spirited driving.

How do we compare tires?

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.

Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
