I ran some good year winter tires for 8 winters before without issue.
The 3CT (MaxxTerra?) is a much more suitable rear tyre compound and it's already on the softer side, I can't imagine ever running a Maxxgrip rear tyre outside of pro racing as it's slow rolling and wears out incredibly fast.
Goodyear Ultragrip was good on RWD 535d, tuned
So glad I made the move. The scorpions were awful and loud. Very happy with our GYs and they still look more like an AT but we have definitely had an efficiency increase
I moved to the Goodyear Wrangler Territory ATs. They're a smidge smaller at 33in (stock is 34in), and they are NOT an LT tire. There is a Rivian specific model of this tire, so be specific when ordering. They're significantly quieter on pavement, but still have the AT look. They also maintain the 3PMS rating (which is why I wanted to stay with an AT). I go off-roading a few times a year, and will be testing these off pavement in a few weeks. Most users report good to excellent traction as compared to stockers. Effeciency is largely the same. Environmental factors and angle of your right foot have a bigger impact on range than the tire swap as best I can tell.
BF Goodrich on my truck, since I need to take it off the pavement a lot, but Goodyear on my regular car. Boy I hope my tire shop remembers what's on my car... they're freakin incredible in the snow, better than my 4x4 truck lol
I run 29x2.4 Ikon/Aspen on hardpack and it serves me well. The Aspen at first was more nervous over roots but I think I was running too high a pressure and it’s much better. The Ikon is just my jack of all trades XC tire; not good or bad at anything.
Im running using Conti Soft Enduro kyrp front and Forekaster out back in EXO+, the Maxxis casing is so soft it feels weird riding up an down but is quick.
I too have Assurance tires that lasted about half the amount of miles they are warranted for.
Maxxis have become worse and worse in my experience. I switched to Conti tires, they are soooo much better.
