Tires BFGoodrich or Triangle
BF Goodrich is Michelin’s “consumer” brand; I’ve had those exact tires on my Mazda3 and liked them a lot.
I switched from BFG KO2s to these and I'll never go back. Very quiet at highway speeds, smooth, and great in the snow. 85k KMs on them and still like new
BF Goodrich, Michelin tires three years after and at third of the price.
BFGoodrich MT KM3
I run BFG 265R18 Trail Terrains which I’ve put on multiple vehicles. They’re not as noisy as KO2s and are snow rated.
I've always ran BF Goodrich advantage controls, Michelin CrossClimates, Goodyear Eagle RS-A, or Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 for summers only.
Given I get a pretty big discount since I work for a tire shop, it's the experience I've had that makes my opinion. Haven't let me down unless I've done some stupid shit, like burnouts or drifts, and even then I only do when I've got the next set lined up.
BF Goodrich’s Adv Controls are solid
I have a suburban and a Tahoe, I went with KO2 on both first but they suck in wet weather. Highway speeds and flash flood rains those tires are all over the road, and are noisy. They are great off-road and have taken them through rough terrain that took chunks off the sidewalk and never had a puncture and they last forever. I am now running the AT3w they are quieter on the road, perform better in wet weather. And they still perform well offroad.
The BF Goodrich MT/TA 255/75 R17 are the original tires on my JEEP Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock which has only 24,000 easy miles on it. I have never been off road. At 24k miles they are badly worn and cupping and the noise has become unbearable.
Those are the worst tires I’ve ever had on an Outback and I don’t get why everyone wants or likes such insanely heavy stiff tires. They are also ansotkrkt horrible in winter on ice and snow and caused my car to slide and perform like crap.
