Tires BRIDGESTONE or Maxxis
I like Bridgestone. Never had Goodyears, but I would only get them for specialty purposes (racing, off-roading), not all-year regular passenger car tires.
ive been running the MT-772's for about 5k miles now and they are quite impressive. I have had BFG's and Nitto Grapplers in the past and these are just as good, possibly better (and cheaper). Quite impressive on the rocks and in the mountains as they air down quite nicely and super grippy. Throw in the fact that they're not really loud on the freeway and you pretty much have all you can ask for in a mud-terrain.
I rock the maxis ardent race on my rear wheel of my 29er. Great combo but Ive been ripping the hardtail on techical single track so maybe not the best for your application.
I like my Blizzaks. They've gotten me through some dicey whiteouts and snow storms.
Wife and son drive Blizzaks - she on her 4Runner here in New England; son who lives in Denver and does a ton of snowboarding (Jetta). Both very happy with them.
We have Blizzaks WS90s on our CX5. They were on our Highlander before that. This will be season four on them and they will be replaced because of age, not wear. I love the Blizzaks and will buy them again for sure. Great ride, great grip in all conditions, and surprising longevity.
My Mazda3's all have had Blizzak WS60's, 80's and my 3rd gen is on WS90's. Love them!
I had a set on my Explorer last winter and was seriously impressed. They actually ended up being just about perfect - more compliant than my 21" Pirellis, but far firmer, quieter, and enjoyable than I could have ever hoped for. Performance in the snow was incredible
Riding on Ecopia 422 215 16 inch stock tires. At 34k they just may be a little more audible - emphasis on little.
My re050a's were totally worn out at 11k Miles.
