Tires Falken or YOKOHAMA
I’ve got E rated falken wild peaks with around 90,000 km on them and plenty of tread still
I ran 35 inch Wildpeak AT3 on my Titan. I got 60k miles out of them and the only reason I replaced them was alignment issues messed up my front tires. Otherwise I could have gotten another 10k. I drive on snow and ice 8-9 months of the year and spend all my weekends on forest roads. Did great in mud, snow, ice, and pavement
Yokohama Avid Ascend GT.
Here are some excerpts from reviews:

"How is it over wet and slippery roads? As far as the Avid Ascend GT is good on dry tarmac, it might be even better on wet and slippery roads. Relatively, of course. I find the Yokohama to be outstandingly good in resisting hydroplaning – the car remains controllable even in puddles of water. Also, the advanced tread compound pays dividends on damp surfaces, where the Avid Ascend GT holds itself extremely well. Overall, this is one of the safest and easiest grand-touring tires to drive in the rain. . . .
"Is it comfortable and refined? You bet it is! This is one of the quietest tires I’ve tried recently, improving the refinement of almost any vehicle you put it on. That’s true even at very high speeds, and for cars that don’t have that much noise insulation. On top of that, the ride quality with a set of Avid Ascend GT tires will be sublime. Smaller imperfections on the road are almost completely eaten by the Yokohama, while the larger potholes are tempered with aplomb. This is perhaps the biggest reason why you would opt for a set of these tires – they are outstandingly comfortable over any surface you encounter."
Overall the Outback performed better than I expected with 4 occupants and a trailer, however I wouldn’t want to tow any more then 1500 pounds for the distance I traveled. Acceleration was obviously impacted but not as much as I feared, the 2.5i does have enough power for the load I was putting it under. At really high elevations and fairly steep grades I did have to decrease my speed to keep my RPM’s down
I recently replaced the Nittos on my 2020 Pro with Falken Wildpeak AW3s. Huge difference in noise!
I’m running stock Falken Wildpeak E-loads @40psi, and find them quite, but my reference is 225/45R18 run-flats on a BMW so ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
thanks for the tip, will keep these in mind. my original hankook tyres and 19" were giving such harsh ride I've [downsized to 18" with Yokohama All Terrain](https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModelY/comments/15fb1m8/downsized_tyres/), but now I'm thinking of giving these a go on my 19" original alloy too for summer perhaps!
My 2020 Ascent has 24k on the Odometer, and the original Falken tires look brand new.
the reviews on the Falken's are pretty good, so I am just leaving them on the 2018 Alltrack I bought. They aren't the greatest when you push them in the twisties, but they handle rain and snow pretty well.
For anyone who lives in snowy climate, do you find OEM Yokohama tires suck in the snow? I live in Minnesota and it's winter wonderland now but I find myself slipping and sliding perhaps more than I should.
