Tires BFGoodrich or RIKEN
Rikens are fine. They're quite a soft tyre, probably because like you said Michelin make them butbthat does meant the grip is decent.
Get urself some 33" BFG KO2s. You won't regret it
Currently running bf Goodrich ko2s, 245/65/17 slight rub at full lock when in reverse. (Just melted and made some space in the wheel well with no probs) loved em in the snow, mud, rain, and just daily driving
AWD with BFGoodrich KO2 tires handled amazingly.
I went with the KO2s on my 2021 Silverado 3500. The mileage difference was about 1mpg less with the KO2s. The road noise was also noticeable at lower speeds but not annoying. The performance in the rain and the little amount of snow we did have was awesome. Never had to use 4x4 in the snow.
I put BFG Long Trail T/A's on my Wrangler, it was mostly stock, but it was a pavement pounder, didn't really take it off road. Treadwear was good, and I felt the ride was better than the Goodyear Wrangler's which came on it.
I have a 2020 Kona SEL and replaced my Nexens with BF Goodrich 215s about six weeks ago and thought I would share my range difference after I got to try them out for my Thanksgiving road trip. I observed about 11% range lost in town driving and 8% range lost in highway driving with the new tires. I think it's well worth it to not feel like you are going to die every time it rains though haha.
BFG KO2’s best performance on road and off road in snow sand dirt ice rain. I have tried nitto’s and I seemed to have better performance and treaslofe with the KO2’s
+1 for the BFG Comp2 A/S Plus. I've had a couple sets of the DWS06 tires, but used them as "three season tires," as they are trash in any real snow. But for the other three seasons, they were good.
I got KO2s because everyone raved about the "triple peak" snow performance. Both sets of mine sucked ass in the snow.
