Tires Cooper or Achilles
I have a Tucson AWD in North Dakota... I was down to two tires when choosing my last set, the Nokian WR G4 and Cooper Discoverer Enduramax. Either would have been fine but I went with the Coopers because I drive some gravel and rough roads and the Coopers are a little "tougher" tire
I just has a set of Copper Endeavor Plus put on my '22 about 2 months ago. Just a standard all-season tire, nothing really special. Pretty happy with them. They're quiet, and good in the rain.
I was pretty impressed all around with how they held the speed and handling.
I cannot recommend the Cooper Discoverer AT3s enough.
I have a set that has just over 70k on them (will be replacing within a month or so), and I have put them through everything.
I have driven back and forth across the country multiple times and gone rock crawling in Moab and Death Valley (among several other places).
They have always performed well in all weather conditions and have negligible road noise.
Cooper Discoverer STT Pro
Built like a MT, rated like an AT. Good in all conditions.
When we bought our Limited, the dealer put the AT3 sports on it. They did just fine in rain and snow, a few trips from NM to CA and forest service roads in CO. We got about 60k out of them. I have the defenders on the vehicle now and am happy with them as well.
I got theCooper AT3’s for my 2012 4runner and loved them, drove more than 50k (and counting). They give a deep tread and were a game changer (vs Dunlops) especially in any rain or snow. All it took was one sleet/snow to feel the difference. I’ve also driven cross country four times with the Coopers and never noticed any issues with noise or mpg.
I am a big fan of the EnduraMax tire, it's on my Tucson AWD in North Dakota which gets wild climate swings throughout the year and brutal winter conditions, and has performed very well... I like it better than the Firestones WeatherGrips (had on my pickup, was OK but very noisy, switched to Nexen Roadian AT Pro RA8 and have been very pleased) or the Goodyear Weatherguard which in my opinion is a decent All-weather tire but hardly worth the GoodYear brand premium price.
Achilles ATR Sport 2 aren’t too far off but I’ve only seen the Federals in photos since they are scarce here in NZ
I ran Achilles tires on my old VW and so did my buddy, this was 10ish years ago but they were terrible back then.
