Tires BFGoodrich or GT Radial
bfgoodrich g-force comp-2 a/s
These tires should be perfect. They provide a VERY surprising amount of grip on dry and wet roads for all season tires. I even run these tires throughout the east coast winter and they handle very well in snow and storms for all season tires.
Only cons I noticed with these tires is that they are bit more noisy and I noticed the slightest drop in mpg after putting these tires on. Tread life is bit lower than average since they are ultra high performance all season tires. I've put about 15,000 miles on them, I can probably get about another 15,000 out of them.
FYI. The K02's are great. They are however sensitive to tire pressures. I always recommend you chalk test these particular models! I am running 38psi up front and 35 in the rear. They can get very noisy if underinflated. I used them as all seasons for the year and they did extremely well in most conditions with the exception of hard packed slushy roads - just not enough grip!
I bought some BFGoodrich Advantage T/A Sport and have been very happy with them for a year now.
The KO2’s are what I’m running now. It’s a pretty legendary tire and has been around for decades now. They have good thread life, look aggressive, decently quiet on the road and do well in most off road situations except for thick mud since they aren’t, well, a mud tire.
I run the E-rated KO2's, have for the past three years. They aren't loud, ride smoother than the Geolander AT's that came on the truck, and balanced perfectly the first time through. People hate on the KO2's but I'm not sure why, it's an extremely solid, durable, race bred tire.
Ever since that, got some KO2s and can drive confidently in snow all day long.
For what it's worth , I run the 245x40x18 BFGoodrich g-force on my GTI. They fit fine on the stock wheel, they don't rub, speedo is off by like 2mph.
Tires I went with BFGoodrich g-Force COMP-2 A/S when I replaced the OEM rubber. They work very well in the dry and wet. I change to Blizzak's for winter time.
The socal 86 cup is sponsored by them, so they've all I've ever used. They're more like 260tw. But I got 245 r40 17 for like $80 each. They're not the best, but they're the best for the money.
I’ve had KO2’s on my Jeep Wrangler, RAM Rebel, and my gf’s 4Runner. They’re impossible to balance, caused a death wobble on my Jeep, and aren’t snow rated (compared to Nitto’s). I swapped over to the Ridge Grapplers for all 3 platforms and will never ever look back.
