I'm approaching 38K miles on my stock tires (2019) and looking at either Wildpeaks or Michelin Defenders. I'm leaning more towards the defenders because most of my miles will be highway, near max load. The wild peaks sure look great but I've run Michelin Defenders on other vehicles, including in snow, and have no complaints.
I had the Geolandars on my 4wd Tacoma when I lived in Alaska. I never got snow tires during winter because I thought I’d be good enough with the Geos. They worked well enough for me, although a couple of times I did slip. Nothing major. I just ended up using my brakes further away from my intended stopping point. In the rain they worked great, never had an issue. Versatile tire without the price point of BFG. Also, the ride on dry highways wasn’t loud and obnoxious, smooth ride imo.
I have Grabber ATX's in standard load for 265 70 R 17s and love them. They look aggressive, quiet on the street, awesome in all weather conditions and on/off the road. 60k warranty with 3 peak's rating.
Live in Minnesota had the Wildpeaks and they did great on the rain and snow. I wanted a more aggressive look so switched to the Duratracs and they were just as good performance wise.
Have had these same ones for about 2 years. Great tires for the snow and just about anything. A little cabin noise, but nothing terrible.
I run pirelli sottozeros and they are a great mix of grip and performance
I had these on my Forester and loved them. My Crosstrek needs new tires and can’t wait to get these!!
Got these installed couple months ago. Great tires so far. Had KO2 prior and it’s night and day on the road noise especially most of my commute is highways. MPG same.
Getting back to reliability, the one thing that all the forums agree on is that the OEM Continental ProContact TX 245/35R20 on the SEL-P R-Line is vulnerable to just about anything.
This weekend I had to pay tire discounters to remove the foam from all 4 of my tires because it was coming off and causing unbalanced tires. These tires aren’t good.
