Ended up with General ALTIMAX 365 AW. Wife wanted a solid ice/snow tire. Best rated tire for snow/ice . Fairly good for Ride quality and noise. Dry/wet driving is not rated as good as other two tires on this list.
I was pretty impressed all around with how they held the speed and handling.
I'd recommend Generals. On the recommended by Consumer Reports list for winters and well placed in other tire testing, you can't go wrong with them. Less expensive than Michelin, Bridgestone, etc.
Been using this brand for over a decade.
Reasonably priced. Long lasting, good grip, a little louder than the comparable Michelin tire
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.
Bought a set of Cooper CS-5 Grand Touring for my RAV two years ago. Best tires I've ever put on a car.
Had a much better looking set of old coopers ruin a very clean square body s10 bed. The entire tread patch separated and beat the bottom corners round before it came off.
