Tires MICHELIN or BFGoodrich
Bfg’s have been the best tires to me. They last for eternity, have always had enough grip for tearing up NW Washington trails that are wet and slick as shit, literally mostly roots, mud, and slick wet rocks. Never noticed poor on road performance, but you got guys expecting pirelli performance on their dodge 1500’s which is dumb. Only complaint i have is when i air down, they pop off the bead. One weird thing ive noticed, is theyll get to about 20% tread depth, and then stay there for the next 10 years. Its like thats as much as theyll ware.
I haven’t had any issues. And they’re the best looking AT imo. That’s part of the reason I got them.
I have Defenders on my Highlander, Corolla and Rav. They are the only tire I will ever buy.
Have had Defenders on the 2013 Sienna, a heavier vehicle than the Highlander, and they lasted me 53k miles...could have gone longer, I thought I had a worn out tread causing noise that turned out to be a bearing.
I went Michelin from Costco and I have no complaints. They are not noisy and have been great in the snow we just had in Minnesota this last season
Switched to CrossClimates from Defenders. They are unequivocally better.
Have a set of X-ice for the winter. Can't go wrong with Michelin's.
The Defender LTXs have been great on my Highlander. Nice ride, quiet, good traction, long wearing too.
Only have experience with the KO2s. They’re overpriced and get quite loud as they wear and sometimes have balancing issues, especially as they wear down. But I’ll be damned they last forever.
BFGs tend to weathercheck, crack, and cup before at about 70% of wear.
