Tires Kumho or BFGoodrich
Currently running bf Goodrich ko2s, 245/65/17 slight rub at full lock when in reverse. (Just melted and made some space in the wheel well with no probs) loved em in the snow, mud, rain, and just daily driving
AWD with BFGoodrich KO2 tires handled amazingly.
I went with the KO2s on my 2021 Silverado 3500. The mileage difference was about 1mpg less with the KO2s. The road noise was also noticeable at lower speeds but not annoying. The performance in the rain and the little amount of snow we did have was awesome. Never had to use 4x4 in the snow.
I put BFG Long Trail T/A's on my Wrangler, it was mostly stock, but it was a pavement pounder, didn't really take it off road. Treadwear was good, and I felt the ride was better than the Goodyear Wrangler's which came on it.
I couldn’t find them recently for my wife’s CX-9 so we went with Kumho Crugens and they have also been great.
I got kumho ecsta on my wrx right now.
Yeah my MX5 had Kumo when I got it, and it loved to throw the rear and squeal a bit. Put RE003’s on it when I got a bit of money, holy shit. Suddenly grip monster
Khumu Solus: 60,000 mile tread warranty. About $115/tire. Hard to tell on efficiency because it also got super cold right after I installed them, but they seem fine, and for the price and tread warranty, I will take a minor efficiency hit.
Drove about 30 miles on AT3W but the steering wheel shake was so bad that I paid more for the KO2’s. Shake is still there but not as bad. Whatever you pick, make sure to get your wheels properly road force balanced.
I've had some serious issues with the KO2s and balancing them. Even with all tires requiring less than 10# of road force to balance the 4Runner still shakes like crazy between 45 and 60. I've been through 8x 265/70R17, and 12x 285/70R17 on my 2012. I'm never buying them again.
Now offroad, they are amazing. Been through quite a bit of stuff that I didn't think we could make it through and never had any issues.
