I ended up getting the Toyo Open Country ATIII tires as recommended by some of the posters below, and my tire shop! These seem to last longer than some of other options I was looking at, and don't need rotation as frequently. They're also rated as all-season tires, which is a nice plus for New England.

So far I've driven them offroad quite a bit in VT on the NE BDR, some trails in NH, and out on the beach at the Cape Cod National seashore. They've handled it all very well.

As far as road manners go, they are nice and quiet, but of course they are a slightly louder than highway tires. nothing obnoxious. They've also done just fine with grip on wet asphalt, and are fine on dry asphalt as well. I don't think they are as responsive as the HT tires were for steering on the road, but they track nice and straight.

Pros: nice and quiet, good grip

Cons: louder than highway tires

I just put a set of Toyo AT3 on my truck. Feels like I'm driving on Velcro compared to the KO2's. Those tires were great on the trails, but felt like I was gonna end up in someone's front yard in the rain.

Pros: great on the trails

Cons: bad in the rain

Toyo GSI-6. Blockier pattern does well in heavy snow and is still good on ice and slush, but a shorter life.

Pros: good on ice and slush

Cons: shorter life

I have the all season version of these and they're great in the rain. If I'm going uphill or accelerating hard I get a little bit of wheel spin on stock wheels.

Pros: great in the rain

Cons: wheel spin accelerating

I recommend Continental winter contact, General altimax arctic 12 or Toyo observe gsi-6. Top 3 winter tires in my opinion for reliability, tread wear, noise and cost.

Pros: reliability, tread wear, noise

I didn't have as much tire noise with the Bridgestones as I do now with my Toyo Proxies ZR4's. These tires can get a bit loud, especially around 40 mph and at 80 mph.

Pros: good handling

Cons: excessive noise

Ride comfort:

We sold these at the tire center a I worked at. We rarely had a repeat customer get them twice. They always upgraded to the Toyo MT, and that wasn't us being pushy salesmen. We always asked why, and the regular complaints were the loud drone from the tires at freeway speeds and they didn't last for jack under the heavier trucks. 40K miles was on the high side of things.

Cons: loud drone, didn't last
