I ditched the stock tires at 20k and went with Falken Wildpeak A/T and it drives perfect.
Cooper Endeavor Plus are some pretty good tires, I put a set on our AWD Equinox back in June, I'm happier with these than the Michelin Latitudes they replaced, and they are pretty good on slippery roads. I tested them last night on an icy spot during a snow storm and the ABS didn't kick in until well past what I normally brake at on icy roads.
Working as a ski guide in the Canadian Rockies and running the AT3W on my Tacoma and I love them. Driving snowy highways before plows and un-maintained FSRs they are phenomenal. The only downside is on glare ice they struggle but with that kind of tire any would.
I’ve got a set of Wildpeak AT Trails on my ‘17. Had them for maybe 3 years now. Went with 235/60r17 because I’ve got 17x8 wheels(1in wider than stock). Been a bit louder, but that’s the way ATs are. Being that they’re heavier, there’s more weight getting forced towards the body of the vehicle when you hit bumps/jolts. That extra weight is gonna jolt the body more than the lighter tires/wheels. Mine went from riding like a touring car to feeling like an actual SUV after the change.
For 3 seasons I get good year reliants (100 USD each) for winter falken aklimate that are 3 peak rated (140 USD each) no issues in lite to moderate snow. I don't have extreme snow in Texas.
I agree with top comment. Had Falken Wildpeak Trail on three different cars now. Best all around tire for an amazing price.
Running 32 psi on mine 225/60r17 for over a year and while a little stiffer than the stock ones, that is expected and not even noticeable after a while.
I'm on set number 5 right now, and they are one of the best all terrain tires for ride quality I've driven, and I've driven Subarus for over 40 years.
I've got the same setup and love it. I did have to send one tire back. Could not get it balanced on any of the wheels. Replacement came in and it was great. I've heard that's somewhat common with falken.
Had a set of Falken AT3W's for a bit and I hated them in snow. Same with the KO2's.
