Tires Falken or YOKOHAMA
I've had great experience with it as well. Been driving through the Sierra Nevadas in heavy snow and ice, chain controls for everyone without 4wd and snow tires, and the thing drives like it's on rails. Very impressive.
At the Beeville Pro Solo I ran both the Vitour and Yokohama on my AST/STR ND, and went faster on the Yokohama. On the Yokohama, the front would just GO, with good entry rotation.
Have these on my 981S, they are excellent. I have just done weekend drives, they have great manners. Looking forward to racing them when I switch from skis to cars.
Have driven my set (255 40 R17) for around 70 laps of the Nürburgring Nordschleife, grip is quite good, don't take too long to heat up, and have excellent heat resistance. I can empty a fuel tank (5 laps) without noticing a performance drop off.
I have AD09's on my M2 Competition. Only have one autox and about 500 miles of street driving on them, but I like them so far.
When I got my 18 Limited, first thing I did was sell the stock tires on Craigslist. I went with the Yokohama Geolander AT tires, this was before there was a Wilderness trim level as those tires are what are on that car. 60,000 miles later they are getting down to a point where this would be the last summer I drive on them. Overall I enjoyed them, very good in the snow, quiet, good in the rain too and here in the PNW we get a fair amount of that.
Yokohama has given me more miles but depending on how you drive
I work in a limestone rock quarry and I have Falken Wildpeak AT4 on my truck and they have been excellent. I am about to buy some for my personal 3500 AT4 because the wrangler that are on it are good ties I'm sure, but they give a very stiff ride quality. If they can stand up to my work environment they will stand up to anything I would need in my personal vehicle.
Ok..1400milies on them now almost all highway but maybe 100city so far. They are fine. Not as quiet as I thought they'd be...but maybe my drive to Tulsa isn't a good gauge.
Not only do the sidewalls flex at highway speed when you do a lane change, they track all over the place and feel skittish. I had my front end (Prius V) checked out by a shop that I trust, and they drove it on the highway. They agree that there is an instability with this tire.
