I have vredstein pinza on my GL 550 for 7k miles and are very happy with them.
The Vredesteins def looked noticeably bigger (taller) than the Yoko Geoloanders they replaced, but that could just be a worn vs new tire. So far so good other than not looking forward to cleaning them regularly lol.
Since virtually all of my driving is on pavement, I went the running shoe route with a set of the Vredestein Hypertracs. They've been excellent, in the dry, the wet, and light snow.
I only have experience with the wildpeaks and I really like them. No road noise and I actually noticed an improvement in traction in a spot where I used to spin the tires with my old factory yokahamas.
Yup, the Wranglers suck. Thankfully 255/65-19 KO3s coming out soon! And there is enough room for 33s under the new Defender, so 20s aren't a bad option if you don't want to downsize brakes for 18s (on the I6). I'm running AT3s and they are TOUGH. I just need some more sidewall. And it handles/drives so so well. I go from trails to twisties with zero effort or compromise.
If you do get new tires you should consider Vredestein Hi-Tracs. I replaced the oem bridgestones with these and they have been tremendous.
Changed mine to all season Vredesteins (Quatrac). Much better now.
I rock Falken Pro’s on my ‘22, and I am VERY happy with them. Handles any rain or standing water like a champ (it rains ALL. THE. DAMN. TIME. here). Even the snow we got this previous winter (about 6”) was nothing, felt like I was on dry pavement.
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 Falken tires they roll out of the factory suck, Falken as a brand in general isn’t bad. I went from Falken ZX-somethings to Falken Wildpeaks on my Crosstrek and it’s night and day.
