Tires BFGoodrich or Sailun
I've been happy with the bfg ko3 tires. Noise wise they're similar to the scorpions, but switching from the old scorpions to the new ko3s was like night and day. I've only got about 7k on then but they haven't become any louder yet
Sailun erange ev. A perfect bang for the buck!
SailunTerramax AT2 are good tires on and off road. I run them and they have been good off-road and don't impact my mpg on the highway.
Had an 04' wrx with BF Goodridge tires. Rotated them every 10k miles and they lasted almost 75k.
Had ko2's on my 03 outback and for the 3k miles it had them, they still looked brand new
I have been really happy with my BFG HD Terrains. Picked them up from eBay as a set of takeoffs in practically new condition. Great on and off road.
Have driven Sailuns 4Seasons on a rental Model 3 for 3 days last winter. Didn't encounter snow or ice but heavy rain, where the tires didn't feel comfortable up to the same speeds I am accustomed with Michelin summers or Bridgestone winters. Outside that they seemed ok.
I did exactly one road / camping trip in my Gen 2 Tundra with the stock BFGs. I got 19 mpg highway. I also got stuck in the desert.
Can confirm that KO2 are horrible on ice and snow.
I have load range E tires (BFG KO3) on Rock Warrior 17" forged wheels, so I've made that tradeoff too, but am clear-eyed about consequences. Also, loss in MPG and acceleration due to having to spin more weight on each wheel. And incorrect speedometer / odometer readings. And loss in tow capacity (due to giving away torque via taller tires, which effectively decreases gear ratios).
