Tires Falken or Continental
Bought new tires to swap out the Sasquatch stock and went to our local Discount Tire to have them do the swap. Overall, despite a really crappy Discount Tire experience, I'm glad this ended positively with a fantastic experience at 4 Wheel Parts!
Personally I went with the Continental Pure Contact LS tires. You do take a hit on efficiency, but it's much better in the rain and snow and wears much better as well. I have 25k miles on mine now and they look like they will last at least another 75k miles.
Falken makes the wildpeak AT Trail I put on my Cherokee they are good on the road
That is exactly what I did. I am running 18x8.5 +45 with 235/45/18 Conti DWS06. Very happy with my decision.
I love my Contact Spike 240's in 38mm. On smooth tarmac you can hear a small ticking noise but nothing obnoxious. Rolling resistance is fine. Grip is fantastic as long as the spikes can find something hard to bite into.
A couple weeks ago I attended the endurance race and Continental was giving out used tires, so maybe.
I run 34 psi on the oem sincerras with the alltrack, no issues, tire wear is normal. At 38 the ride gets too stiff. For city driving it is a good compromise.
You can't go wrong with the Continental Kryptotal Fr/Re combo. I've tried DHF/Aggressor, Assegai/Aggressor, Dissector/Aggressor, DHF/DHR2 and Assegai/DHR2 and the Kryptotals are by far my favorite combo. They offer amazing traction with inexplicably low rolling resistance.
I'm definitely replacing the stock tires with Wildpeaks in the spring. In the snow, the stock tires are pretty good, but ice forms very quickly with Vancouver snow and that's where the stock tires fail for me. Noticeably more slippery on ice than a proper 3PMSF rated tire.
I was considering CC2 vs. Wildpeak A/T Trails. I went with the latter and regret it. I do 100% of my driving on streets and chose the Wildpeaks because of aesthetics. I took a 2-3mpg hit to an already inefficient car.
