Tires Falken or Goodyear
The Goodyear tires have great reviews, were less expensive, and I think look better than the Michelins.
I've had the wild peaks for years and love them, ill probably replace them with another set. That being said I do a fair amount of snow driving and trail driving in the summer.
I’m in Maine tried them both, liked the wild peaks so much I put them on my wife’s suv, and my sons crosstrek. They are my all time favorite and incredibly high quality.
Look at walmart for Douglas they are made by Goodyear
The Fortitude is a tried and true product that I recommend
Tires are on, I went with LT285/70R18 Falken Wildpeak AT4W in C load range. They are a legit 34x11.5 and are pretty heavy since they are the beefier Duraspec sidewall, coming in a 68 lbs, but still C load range. So tough, but with a smoother ride and potentially more flex than an E rated. I wanted to stick with the factory wheels, because A) they look great B) I don't want a higher scrub radius for clearance and wear/ tear, C) saves money.
While they aren't meant for the snow I was impressed to see how well they hold up.
Ontario here. I had them (OEM warlock takeoffs). They were good the first winter, kinda ok the second winter, useless the third winter. Siping is shallow.
I had Wildpeaks for about 40k miles. They got pretty loud after 20k miles or so. I wasn’t super impressed with them in snow.
A worker at Discount Tire told me that one of their customers had the foam that is glued to the interior of the Goodyear ElectricDrive 2 tires delaminated and come off leading to the tires wobbling after a few months.
