Tires Firestone or Cooper
I personally like the Cooper AT3 XLT. Aggressive tread but quiet and very stable on pavement. Great wet traction.
Went from an all season to an all terrain and the only thing I noticed was a low hum sticky gravel sound at low turning speeds. Highway driving was about the same if not a bit quieter.
Firestone has Suredrive tires that are basically rebranded Kuhmo Solaris TA71s right in your range. Good reviews on Reddit. I just bought a set today. Seem quiet.
I’m a cheap ass and I run the Walmart Cooper Discoverer A/T’s at 265/75/16 for $145 a tire. Perfectly fine for my driving which sounds similar to yours
The 32" Cooper Discoverer AT3s on our YJ have been great. And they were very affordable.
Running 15x32x11.5 Cooper's on my YJ. I dig em and decently priced.
I put coopers on my last two ats and I loved them.
I just picked up some Cooper Discoverer SST Pros for $206 each at Discount Tire. Almost $70 per tire less than everywhere.
I had them on my excursion and while they do ride nice and look cool they will be a hit on mpg, as all AT tires will. And this is where you have to be honest with yourself, we all want to pretend that we take our SUV, off-road, and have adventures with it but, if I’m being real with myself, 95% of its time on road and that other 5% of the time is not a trail that would require an aggressive tire. I saw a decrease of 15% on both of the SUVs I traded a highway oriented tire for an AT tire. And in all honesty it’s definitely not worth that fuel economy loss. Yeah sure they look cool but now in my jeep grand Cherokee V6, I struggle to get 21 miles per gallon on the highway when on the OE tires I could easily get 25. That really adds up to a lot of Extra fuel
I had a pair of coopers with early signs of dry rot on my car when I got into my first accident, 15 minutes after it rained the roads were still a little wet and they totally lost traction when I tried to brake/steer away frm the dude turning across my lane.
