Tires Firestone or Cooper
I got some Firestone Destination XTs about 1k miles ago in the stock size. I wanted LT tires for the stability towing. So far they are working great. Way better off road and wet traction then the stock Pirelli Scorpions. But they hang on to gravel bad.
Cooper rugged treks are legit but it’s always hard to beat the bfgoodrich all terrain. They’re a popular classic for a reason. Rugged treks are great slightly more aggressive tire. Road noise is surprisingly low for how aggressive the tire is.
Cooper Discovery AT4S. I've had fantastic performance from them in snow, mud, wet sand, you name it. I use boat ramps pretty often and one of them is pure sand at a sand pit. Zero issues here.
I'd recommend Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. They're really good and affordable tires that have excellent grip. They don't have much road noise and last decently long.
I'd highly recommend Cooper St Maxx. I've had Duratracs, KO2 and Wild peaks and the St Maxx were much better than those options.
Had them on my MB C300 4matic. Little to no road noise, amazingly smooth ride, and were great in all conditions. Even snow.
These are on my truck right now. About 5k on them and I’ve had no issues. Grip is good on and off road. Ride is smooth. A little heavier than my stocks, so I’ve had a couple mpg loss, but other than that, I’m happy with them.
I have run the Indy 500s on two Minis, Audi A8 with a 630HP tuned motor, Volvo V90 and Mercedes E550 with a Renntech tune. EXCELLENT tires for the money, Tirerack has great prices!
Versatility is not a benefit if the rain tire or dry tire is suitable in the conditions, because they could just run that tire.
I had the Firestone Steeltex the ones before the Transforce with good tread They had less cracking than I see on yours. Drivers front blew out on the way home from vacation, 70 MPH and barely missing the concrete median. Personally I would replace them and personally I would not go with Firestone
