Tires BFGoodrich or Laufenn
I like BF Goodrich T/A KSI they are less expensive than Michelin XIce. They have good performance and seem fairly durable
Laufenn is a budget brand of Hankook, a reputable tire manufacturer headquartered in South Korea. These are the tires I recently ordered for my Model Y. They're black, round, and also have a treadwear rating of 500.
I just bought these for my Model Y, partly because they were priced at $108/each. I think it's an outstanding deal. I'll happily run my Laufenns.
I’ve got a plug in the same spot on some BFGs and it’s held fine.
Neighbor has Laufenn X Fit and I have G Fit and we're totally pleased with this Hankook sub brand in middle TN. Really quiet tires as Hankooks tend to be. Mostly excellent reviews on tire rack but a few folks claimed they were horrific in wet. So I went out on soaked roads and a parking lot and tested them and it took really heroic maneuvers that I never do to get as much as a chirp.
I replaced the BF Goodyears on my '68 convertible last year. They were 36 years old. They had about 5k miles on them. They looked brand new inside and out. They have been inside for 99.9% of their life. The same tires are on my '70 Mach 1, at 32 years. Are the new BFGs I put on going to last 36 years, or is the quality not the same?
I’ve had KO2s on my 2023 4Runner for the last 2 years. Pretty good off road and on dry pavement but can be downright scary on rainy days on road. If you live somewhere that doesn’t have a long rainy season then they are fine. But not good for rainy days around town.
I have KM3's. No complaints but perhaps more expensive than perfectly comparable, cheaper options.
Hated the KO3s in the rain. Did a 1000 mile trip and as soon as I got home had Discount Tire swap them for AT4Ws.
got rid of my KO2 when I got stuck on my friends brick paved driveway because it was at a slight uphill (everyone else made it up perfectly fine and looked at me like i was disabled). This wasnt the first wet incident.
