Tires NITTO or Cooper
We have a set of Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT on my wife's OB and they've been excellent. We don't do anything crazier than fire roads and trailheads but they perform admirably and are fairly quiet on road.
Coopers are great tires, I had some on my old WRX and they lasted forever. I live in oregon and ran these tires through quite a few seasons no problem
I have these, got em on sale for cheap so I figured I'd give them a shot. Drove them in like 6" inches of snow with no issues, been through some mean rainstorms with no issues, and over the summer. Been on them for almost a year so far and no complaints for how I am driving on them (Mostly just daily duty, occasional twisties).
i just got a full set for my 98 honda crv, 215/60r16. about 50 miles so far and they are great ride smooth, pretty quiet, and have good grip in the dry. I think they feel a little dull with center response with steering inputs when going slower, maybe less than 30mph. I have yet to test them in the rain, i havent quite pushed them to the limit in a turn yet but near the limit they feel good and feel like they will continue to grip has you push them harder.
i ran those coopers for like 5 years they’re great, very little to no noise, doesn’t hold onto rocks and good wet traction. i started using them when it was a 3s and when they switched to the next gen 4s wet traction significantly improved. i did some dirt driving and a lot of snow driving in deep snow for hours on highways. great traction on dirt and snow, especially for the money.
Like mine, I’m running Nitto NT555 G2s, they have around a 30k mileage run. As opposed to Michelins Defender 2 which have an 80k mileage the compound on most daily tires should be a little harder, lasting longer.
CO driver, have about 500mi on a set of Cooper Road and Trails, very happy so far
I'm running Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Look cool, great off road capability, tow well. Heavy as all hell, lost two mpg!
Hate to tell you bud but the 555g2 are ASS. They aren't meant to go on the rear.
Avoid the nitto grapplers. They’re horrible on wet pavement especially when it begins to drizzle.
