Tires MICHELIN or Falken
On road they ride quiet and comfortable.
Have done low-moderate rock crawling and off-roading in all weather types after this past winter. I can’t speak completely to longevity but they are a very capable and durable tire. The cons for me are weight. They are on the heavier side of the AT tires out there.
They’re heavy so you will take a slight hit to your gas mileage, but I personally love them. Ride quiet and do great off road.
I have AT4Ws on my current F150 and have no complaints.
4S’s were game changing.
Depends on what you want and what you value, but I put Michelin’s on all of my cars. The ride is better, the handling is better, and they typically wear better.
I’m not sure if they make them in the correct size for the car but the oem star marked ps4s made for bmw are more aggressive and contain a rubber compound more similar to the cup 2s. Tyre reviews compared the regular ps4s to the star marked and raved about them compared to the regular tires.
Falken Wildpeak A/T 4. I have 70k miles on mine doing 80% off-road for work. Still going strong. You will not be disappointed.
I have the 265/75/16 Wildpeak At4’s in the standard load rating and they have been great. They are a little heavy but don't have much road noise and perform great off road.
I also have the Defender 2 though I didn't quite make as deliberate a choice. I jumped a curve in a parking lot and did sidewall damage (some metal bit on a storm drain) to my stock tires, and I had the car towed to Discount Tire and the Defender 2 was the only good option in stock at the time.
Gonna cost me $1200 for 4 Michelin Defender 2's (245/55/19) on my 2008 Highlander (March 2025) with installation.
