Tires Hankook or Falken
Have the Wildpeak AT3W on my half ton truck for driving year round. Alberta winter conditions included. Quiet, excellent traction, good tread life. Priced competitively as a bonus. I’d be silly not to buy these again.
To answer OP question, probably BF Goodrich Rugged Trail TA. Didn’t last and developed cracks prematurely. Also Toyo Open Country C/T are noisy as hell.
Ran Wildpeak A/T on my 2012 Wrangler. Absolutely loved them. Rode great, great traction, very little road noise. Put almost 55K on them before trading the Wrangler in on a new truck.
Have had them for more than a year now on a Ford Fusion. They are a nice aggressive tire, lots of bite. They have a whole lot of tread. I haven't had the chance to really put them to the test in snow conditions but the little bit of snow I did get to try them in, they performed well. As far as an all season tire they are top notch for someone living in New England's unpredictable weather. They aren't going to compare to a snow tire in the snow but definitely outperform all the other all season tires I've had. I will definitely buy them again.
My Falken winter tires are better in the dry.
I’ve ran the Hankook Ventura V12 Evo2 on previous cars and felt they were perfectly serviceable.
I used the 615k+ last summer they were great for multi purpose use. I did a few track days (6) and daily drove them all summer. Warm up is almost instant, they do fine in the wet. I'll be purchasing another set when track days pick up again.
I ran these tires for years in my first gen, Florida heat and rain. They were my go to for daily driving. No idea what everyone has against these tires, they never gave me an issue. Gripped or slipped when i wanted them to.
For my experience up to now, the stock Hankook Dynapro AT2 that came with my 2024 Pro4X are not as bad in snow as some peoples seems to say. So it might be year dependent, or type (I guess there's other than Dynapro AT2 being used). However they are far from being the best winter tire I got through time. For now they seems to do the job, but no heavy snow yet where I live. If they handle well though this winter I'll keep them while they last and will have to evaluate then what will be the replacement.
2nd Gen not 5th but I replaced the ancient tires on my 4runner with wildpeaks and had them on for a few years. Hated them. Hated driving curves in the rain on pavement. Roundabouts would lose traction even in summer and as you know, these are NOT cars with a fast takeoff. They were quiet, I'll give them that.
Also in Colorado with 50e. Have 21-inch wheels with factory Hankook “all season” performance run flats. Just ordered a set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5s for winter to replace the Hankooks that perform like I’m on an ice rink with bald tires…
