Tires Cooper or OEM Volkswagen
Ran Discoverer AT3s on my 4Runner and they were amazing, very comfortable/quiet and didn't mess with my gas mileage like some of the chunkier all-terrains tend to.
I’m a fan of the cooper atts I put on my awd outlander have a decent warranty as well.
I've always used Cooper Tires on all my 4*4 and AWD vehicles. Quite pricey but outstanding mileage and grip - the grip goes from great to phenomenal depending on the tire you choose
These tires were just taken off a two-week old 2022 Volkswagen GTI. The tires were driven lightly during break-in period before dismounting with only 315 miles on them. They are in as-new condition.
Overall the I found the GTI was very impressive at a track that doesn't cater to FWD and with terrible 560tw all seasons.
Both my Corolla and gf's CRV sport Cooper CS5 Ultras now. Definitely better than what was on them before. Very noticeable on the winding mountain roads, combined about 80 miles per day.
Cooper AT3's, 215/70-16 to fit an 04 FXT. Fantastic tires, even does great in the snow down to about 20F (or did when new, they're 50-60% worn now and pretty scary on ice, as are all AT tires).
I've got STT Pros on my 2500hd and KO2s on my TJ both of which were a daily driver for extended periods of time. The Cooper's are definitely louder, but the entire truck is loud, so it doesn't really bother me. The comments here ring pretty true, and I'll take my Jeep in the snow rather than the truck. Honestly, just do what makes you happy. The trade-offs are miniscule if you know your limitations and drive appropriately.
Audis run on Continental Winter Contacts, have had Nokians, Hankooks and Coopers. All worked well but the Coopers were noisiest of the bunch.
Cooper has had a consistent track record of balance/wear/behavior issues for all of us over the last couple of years.
