Tires BFGoodrich or DUNLOP
I switched the Kumho Crugens that came with my 2022 Santa Cruz SEL nonturbo with activity to BF Goodrich Trail Terrain, still at 245/60r18 about 2 weeks ago. The Trail Terrain is a lot more quiet, in fact, I can hear the hum of the engine much clearer now. Great in mild snow and ice, never slipped. It also performed very well in the rain and a little puddle, no hydroplaning so far. Cornering is not at good as the Crugen and needed a bit of correction. The ride is almost as comfy as the Crugen, but I can feel the little road imperfections subtly. I averaged 26.8 mpg on the Crugen, the Trail Terrain set me back a dismal 23.9 mpg.
The stock tires actually perform quite well (my stock were Dunlop AT20 Grandtreks). For anything other than mud, fantastic. Sand and greenlaning were no problem.
Great tire with awesome grip; however I prefer the q4 because the 5s wear out faster.
The Q5/Q5S is a good fire and has great grip with relatively low maintenance in the sense that you don't need to run warmers. What does suck is the wear, which is pretty aggressive ????
I run the Dunlop Direzza on my 2007 JCW - with no complaints.
For City just get Toyo Japan made. It'll cost u lest than RM600 per tyre. I've used Dunlop before and it's good. Threadwear high but the tyre not too hard. Good grip in dry but average in wet. Toyo Japan made excellent in wet n dry.
My Dunlop Sport Maxx’s are pretty cracked, my Skoda can out accelerate a Miat with them
Have KO2s on my work truck. Never left me stuck on a job site. No issues after 3 years. Would I put them on my jeep? Probably not. It depends on use.
Those are the worst tires I’ve ever had on an Outback and I don’t get why everyone wants or likes such insanely heavy stiff tires. They are also ansotkrkt horrible in winter on ice and snow and caused my car to slide and perform like crap.
I'm at 31k on the factory 17" dunlops, I'm NOW starting to slide in the rain a bit
