Wife and I have a set of Good Year Assurance all weathers on our Jeep Compass, wife's daily driver. Best tires I/we have ever had on a vehicle, the traction is crazy good on snow and ice in Calgary, no issues what so ever heading out west of the city.
Some light tires like the Kenda Small Block 8. A small knobby tire that works great on the street.
I just went with the Goodyear Electric Drive 2s. Only driven a few hundreds miles on them so far but efficiency seems about the same as the OEMs and rain performance has been better.
I've been a fan of Goodyear Duratracs on my last 2 trucks (including my current one), specifically LT275/65R20. The aggressive profile looks great, and the 65 profile helps fill in the space in the wheel well without rubbing. The tread is slightly over .5" and I've used them over 65k miles.
Just swapped in Goodyear Wrangler TrailRunner AT Light truck tires at 275/65/20 on Friday and they are night and day different from the road noise of the Scorpions.
I've been a Goodyear customer for almost 20 years. I've had their Assurance all-season on many cars and suvs. I used to swear by Michelin until I had to buy my own tires. That being said, Michelin at Costco seems ok.
Yeah the territory MT that come stock on cars have notoriously thin sidewalls and are being advertised to do all this extreme off-roading, but the aftermarket spec territory MT is a bit better.
If you're okay losing by a big margin but are focused on self-improvement, try running Kenda Vezda KR20a's (make sure it's the 200tw version). They are dirt cheap and stupid durable.
They gave me a new pilot and I immediately noticed these tires were not as smooth, comfortable or quiet as the CC2s I had been used to so for me I would say yes. These are just poor quality tires.
The one I personally actively avoid is Goodyear. I've only ever had one decent set of them and the rest have dry rotted faster than any other set I've bought. Their performance wasn't awful but even burning through a set of tires every 24-30mos, I shouldn't be starting to worry at 18mos when the tires are sporting lots of visible dry rot.
