Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5. I have them on my Mk7.5 and love them. They are T rated, but very quiet. I do mostly highway driving.
Better tires. The Telly is actually pretty capable off-road on mild trails/loose terrain/snow/etc. with the right tires. The standard Michelin Primacys won't cut it though. I put some Falken Wildpeak AT Trail tires and now this thing handles this stuff better than my '21 Bronco did. (2024 EX AWD).
Nokian seasonproof 2 are way to go, nokian is quieter and pattern on them are unique they have central canals for aqualpaning like summer tyres and the treads like winter tyres. I've never seen this before on any allseason tyre brend.
I went with Falken all season light offroad and they make the car look awesome and feels good in the city.
I live in a ski town BC, that averages >30 FEET of snowfall annually. Often roads have caked snow, sluff, sleet & ice. Between dodging tourists, wildlife and staying firmy lodged, I don't dick around. I get the best. Studded Hakka's 10, that just replaced a set that I had about 30-35,000km on.
Falken makes pretty good rain friendly quality tires
I just put on a set of Hakka R5s for the winter and the difference in road noise was startling - like driving a whole new vehicle.
Finally bought bigger tires, Falken Wildpeak A/T 255/55r18, and couldn’t be happier. Even without NVH foam, the ride is quieter, smoother, and less bumpy.
I have about 15k miles on some Falken Aklimates and they’re not bad. Live in upstate NY and they’ve handled the seasons well so far. No hesitation when getting some more spirited driving in through the Adirondacks.
The 660s are nowhere close to as good as even RE71RS. And IMHO having run them, are not in the conversation for top 200tw Autox tires
