Tires MICHELIN or Falken
Wildpeaks pretty much do it all. I run them on the daily in some very extreme/shit conditions. Silt, mud, sand, torrential rains, ice storms, snow. They just get around great. Also, 70k plus miles on a half ton and still had some life in them. 80% of my day is driving on rock roads.
Wildpeaks. I have them on my cummins and I love them. I jave the 35x12 and they have excelled in wet and snow.
I have the AT3/Ws and I love them. They're 3-peak rate, handle well on road, handle well offroad, and handle the ice/snow just fine. I'll continue to buy Falkens.
I’ve had wildpeak at3w on my Jeep xj for about 7 years and I’ve taken it to Mexico eight times down to my uncles ranch , it is one heavy duty off road trip to get there… also done a lot of highway driving, i’ve taken it up to Seattle to visit my niece. I’ve gone 4 x 4 in all over the desert in Nevada and Arizona, of course, in California also. And I have to say that my tires are still in great shape. They handle really great in the rain and the snow.
I have the wildpeaks. Went from the stock Michelins. The mpg went down about 2 or so….performance in snow is way up and the braking is way better. I don’t off-road but it works for me so far.
AT3w in stock size on a 17 GX here. Slightly more noisy than the factory rubber but unless you rode in it before and after the tire change, you wouldn’t notice. It’s that subtle. Waaaaay more capable. No loss in MPG that I have noticed. Win win.
They are good though, I ran some on my E30.
The previous owners kept the brakes flushed and the oil changed right on schedule. It had a water pump at replaced at 70k, spark plugs at 60k(getting time for that again), and the normal 80k service with the rear end inspected and new fluid. It has some Michelin Pilots with most of the tread left.
My Primacy's only lasted 27K miles on my sr+. Sure they had good EV range, and decent handling, but couldn't even last 30K miles.
I changed from the OEM tires to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4's a few months ago and have been disappointed with them. They do have more grip than the OEM tires but feel really squirrely and "Mushy" while steering, especially when driving more "spiritedly". I miss how stable the car felt with the original tires.
