Tires MICHELIN or Falken
I am currently running the Falken Wildpeak AT Trail and it is 100% better in all ways compared to the Continental OE tires.
I LOVED my Falken Wildpeaks. Great performance in the snow, and despite using the truck for almost nothing but highway miles, I put almost 55k on them, and they still looked like they had another 60k life in them.
I really like my road 6 tires. They have even done pretty well on an accidental 10-mile gravel detour. I have 2000 miles on a rear that looks like new.
I replaced my 21 Elantra OEM Kumho tires at 25k; although, they certainly could’ve gone a while longer but I had recently moved north and they weren’t cutting it in the snow.
Put some Michelin CrossClimate 2’s on it and haven’t looked back. Great tires.
Wild peaks are the shiz! No vibrations beasts on snow, ice, and rain. And drive smooth in the summer months. Overall these have been the best tire for the money.
Wildpeak A/T3w, cost roughly the same as the trails. 3 peak rated. They’re made especially for the 3W’s that they advertise. Wear, Winter and Wet conditions. They still aren’t super aggressive like most AT tires which make them great on road too. I’ve ran them for over a year, they’ve been great to me.
I'm on my fourth set of Falkens, because they work.. They perform great in anything; I live in the Canadian Rockies, and they are one of two all weather tires that qualify as "Snow tires" under both British Columbia and Quebecs mandatory snow tire laws. We've been to the Arctic Ocean twice, and into deep southern Mexico, down the length of Baja, and across the continent with them. We have never been stuck that we couldn't self rescue, and not one blowout in either Arctic trip.
The CrossClimates are wonderful tire. I just put on a few 100km of light off road as you requested and no issues at all. They are wonderful in rain and snow. The only downsides would be: unidirectional and the aggressive thread pattern seems to suck up the rocks pretty good. But if you do mostly highway, these truly are an all climate tire.
i did not understand the difference between load rating when i ran my ko2, had a good side wall tear ko2 in snow was meh but it was nice not to have to put chains on in chain control i now run the wildpeak in 35 and they are chonky. i think they work pretty good on/off road. tho gas mileage sucks now on the bigger tire. neither tire is very loud and I can't hear them inside the gx.
I got the Michelin Cross Climates for my '19 Alltrack.. Did not get to test them during our brief snow. I was hoping for an improvement in highway noise, but they are plenty loud on our typical worn concrete highway surfaces.
