Tires Falken or Cooper
I have had very good luck with Falken tires on my Mercedes cars. Lots of tread warranty etc Also, some of the BFGoodrich (Owned by Michelin - I think) tires are good.
I got to field test my Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S tires in the snow this weekend. This is a solid A/T tire, and it's one of the quieter ones on pavement. Handling was awesome; ran them at 25 psi and plowed through small drifts ~12\" high with no issues.
Running 30.9" Cooper A/T3-4S (235/75R17) on 17x8" rims AND a 1.5" lift I wish I had gone bigger on my tires
I have Falken FK510s on my car (2008 Si on 18" Wheels) and i like them. I've you they have excellent grip in both wet and dry conditions and noise levels are good to. I like them better then the ventus evo 12's that came on my car when i got it. It's a very good tire for the money, I definitely recommend them.
I've owned both. The Evo is okay, but terrible in the wet and a little noisy. The 510 is a shockingly good tire for Falken. I definitely recommend those.
Monday night, I put Cooper CS3's on the front and balanced the garbage West Lakes that are on the rear. All 4 were surprisingly round and none of the rims bent. I can now get around corners faster dry and wet, and can oversteer the car pretty easily when near the limit.
Cooper Discoverer AT3. Good dry and wet grip. Low road noise. Wheels halfway decent.
I have the Falken Wildpeaks A/T3W on my Ranger and so far so good. Pretty quiet for the most part and excellent grip.
On my Stormchasing truck, which ran into rain now and then, we used Falken Rocky Mountain ATS tires, which were the Discounttire exclusive name, now they are sold as the Wildpeak AT. I loved them on washed out ranch roads in Texas and mud/dirt roads in Colorado and when we were bombing down the highway they were pretty quiet, much quieter than the Duratracs I had on my old Liberty.
Car was on all seasons that were almost new(falken 912's). Going down the highway at 35 in 4th gear, I was running about 1k rpm and any touch of the gas would spin the tires. Starting on a hill was impossible.
