Tires Kumho or BFGoodrich
My used CX-30 came with Kumho Crugen HP71 that are really great for road noise and all weather. The single snow storm we had so far it handled very well!
V730 lasts like the RS4, but is way faster.
Kumho v730 are pretty affordable in super class. But endurance 200 will save $$.
Falken Azenis RT660 or Kumho Ecsta V730. RT660 might be a smidgen faster, but the V730 is more durable and will last for more runs.
I've never had a more tenderfoot set of rubber on any car and was really glad to have worn them out. Replaced with Kumho tires which ride like a noticeable harder compound/tire and have had no punctures since.
I’m running 265/70/17 (123 load) K03 on my 4Runner and I’ve been pleased with washboard performance (2mi of sort on my commute). They do like to chuck rocks more than the AT3W (not sure how the AT4W is). Rain performance has been great here in Maine. Haven’t had enough snow yet
I have a suburban and a Tahoe, I went with KO2 on both first but they suck in wet weather. Highway speeds and flash flood rains those tires are all over the road, and are noisy. They are great off-road and have taken them through rough terrain that took chunks off the sidewalk and never had a puncture and they last forever. I am now running the AT3w they are quieter on the road, perform better in wet weather. And they still perform well offroad.
I'm running on Kumhos, so I can't say much about others. Kumho (KM17) is OK, but it generates a flat spot in few weeks if car just sits and then first 10 miles are bumpy. Quite cheap so perhaps I can stand that, but not really much cheaper than others, so I won't buy another set.
The BF Goodrich MT/TA 255/75 R17 are the original tires on my JEEP Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock which has only 24,000 easy miles on it. I have never been off road. At 24k miles they are badly worn and cupping and the noise has become unbearable.
Those are the worst tires I’ve ever had on an Outback and I don’t get why everyone wants or likes such insanely heavy stiff tires. They are also ansotkrkt horrible in winter on ice and snow and caused my car to slide and perform like crap.
