Tires BFGoodrich or Sailun
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.
Gona have to second the KO2 good in snow, mud, dirt, slick rock, quiet in pavement, look aggressive, priced well, and you can put a lot of miles on them.
Sailun Ice Blazer WSL2's Their one of the top chinese tire brands. Have had them for 3 seasons driving the fraser-cariboo and they have been awesome.
When I picked up a set of wheels a few years ago, they had half life G-Force Comp-2 all seasons on them, so I just used those for half a season. 225/45/17 of those were quicker than 205/55/16 Hankook RS3 autocross tires that were probably heat cycled out but had tread left. Point is, those BFGs aren't terrible and the sidewall was stiff enough not to be rolling over.
Drove about 30 miles on AT3W but the steering wheel shake was so bad that I paid more for the KO2’s. Shake is still there but not as bad. Whatever you pick, make sure to get your wheels properly road force balanced.
