Tires Falken or Continental
Wildpeaks. I daily the at3w on my gx470 and they have zero road noise and great handling and comfort. I also do some moderate offroading and they do great.
Continental extremecontact dws06+
One of the best tires I ever had on my xterra. When my pirellis wear out, I'll probably go back to the wildpeaks
I had ExtremeContacts on my golf and loved them except they didn’t last as long as I expected. Then I got Pilot Sport 4s since they were on sale at the same price as the contis. they’re a bit louder but a bit grippier.
Falken Wildpeak AT4W mounted on stock 20 inch wheels. You are going to have slightly more road noise. Overall they feel smoother.
I had a friend with Blizzacks on his WRX, and I put the equivalent Continental WinterContacts on my WRX. Mine wore less over time and I commuted more, were slightly cheaper at the time, and felt like they performed a little better.
Big fan of the Continent Winter Contacts for my Passat in 215 width. They were quite a bit less than Michelin's at the time. I'll buy them again.
I recommend Continentals. High quality tires, in general high lifespans and good grip. Good ride quality and low noise.
I had this same model on my prior VAG vehicle (in 245/40R19) and pretty typical for OEM tires: smooth ride, reasonably quiet, handles ok (both dry & wet), and can cope with an early- or late-season light snow when you're caught unexpectedly w/o your winter or all-weather tires.
Mine looked the same and were also overinflated at delivery. One of my tires didn't last 1000 miles, it developed a tear on the side.
