Tires MICHELIN or Cooper
Cooper AT3 4S on my 4runner, best tires I have had for daily driver and crosscountry trips for desert off-roading and snow off-roading. Great price, last long, low highway noise, Made in USA.
My coopers are great. Handle great in the rain and snow, not a lot of road noise and look great on my suburban.
Cooper Discoverer AT3. The XLT model adds more sidewall beef.
Ran Discoverer AT3s on my 4Runner and they were amazing, very comfortable/quiet and didn't mess with my gas mileage like some of the chunkier all-terrains tend to.
I'm approaching 38K miles on my stock tires (2019) and looking at either Wildpeaks or Michelin Defenders. I'm leaning more towards the defenders because most of my miles will be highway, near max load. The wild peaks sure look great but I've run Michelin Defenders on other vehicles, including in snow, and have no complaints.
I like the X-Ice snow more than Blizzaks because they drive more confidently on pavement and they're much quieter.
I got the Michelin X-ice Snow here in the Colorado Rockies. They work great.
I run the X-Ice on my Allroad. Nice tire, but I don’t drive them hard on dry pavement for obvious reasons.
I have these on my jacked up G37 hatchback, and they're not all that quiet and have progressively gotten louder with time. They do seem to be wearing well though, which is a surprise for a Michelin.
I just bought these for my GTI... I am a Michelin fanboy but not impressed with these tires. My MPSS are buttery smooth and quiet. These tires are very noisy, and ride a bit rougher. I've got them 225/40/r18 mounted on stock Austins (so its not the wheels) and i've had them rebalanced twice so its not a balancing issue.
