Tires BFGoodrich or Goodyear
I love mine in the great lakes region and cannot wait to get at least 50k miles since my Goodyear's and Pirellis were bald before 40k.
I just replaced all 5 on my Forester, BF Goodrich All Terrains, for AU $1250, so about US $840 at Costco.
BF Goodrich KO3 AT , I have those now and road sound is barely there, compared to my previous tires , which were Toyo Open country trail rt. Grip is really good, They are wet and snow rated , so they do really well on those conditions but overall, are great.
I’ve got Goodyear Wrangler Duratrack 265/70R16 on my 2020 TRD PRO. They’re loud, but let me tell you a story: December 24, 2023 (or 2022) from Nashville we were heading up to West side of Chicago on I65. The further north we went, the weather turned into a blizzard. Semi’s, cars and trucks were all over the road spun out on the side of the road. Could see maybe 20 feet ahead. Seeing everyone else either spun out or driving about 10MPH. Around Elizabethtown KY, I put my Taco into 4 wheel drive (one click of the dial counter-clockwise). With those DuraTracs and the 4 wheel drive, I was able to go 35-40MPH easy driving and fully in control. By Lafayette, IN we were about the only vehicle on the road. All others left or were spun out. Scared the hell out of us. It was amazing. Now, I don’t know about the other makes, but I‘ll take the noise when it means the safety in terrible situations. IMVHO
FWIW I have the E version of the KO3’s on both my Tacoma and 4Runner. You won’t regret going with them. I live in Maine and so far they’ve handled back country roads, rain, snow, and pavement like a champ.
Just drove through a massive storm in Lake Tahoe, CA (specifically Highway 88). I slapped a set of BFG Trail-Terrain T/A 3PMSF onto my 2019 Tacoma TRD Off-Road and they charged with great grip.
Something similar happened to my 2016 Civic EX sedan when I switched from the OEM tires, Firestone FT140, at 76,000 miles, to Goodyear Assurance MaxLife tires in October, 2022. I was averaging just under 40 MPG (calculated, NOT using the trip computer) to just under 35 MPG, also with no change in driving habits or routes.
I run the BF Goodrich K02, but I’ve heard the new K03 is a bit average.
Tesla Tires suck, go for another option. Michelin X Ice Snow for Winter, Goodyear ElectricDrive2 for Summer.
I got Goodyear Reliants and absolutely regretted. By far the loudest tires I've ever had.
