Tires NITTO or Kumho
I have Nitto Nomad Grapplers (similar to Falken Wildpeak) on my 2017 FXT Touring, and have Michelin CC on my wife’s Lexus RX, and given your situation I’d say the Michelin CC would do the trick and be a more comfortable drive with better MPG.
With innovative tech, a capable rubber compound, and a wide range of options and sizes, the upcoming Kumho's performance range is great news for all high-speed enthusiasts who are looking for dependable and affordable rubber.
I put some Kumho Crugen on my grandmas van and they were great. She did a few trips from LA to Sacramento(7 hr). No issues.
I don't know about these inparticular but I drove AT51 Kuhmos back when I had a 07 Liberty in Syracuse, NY.
I hiked and camped regularly with friends as well. Drove on trails, did moderate off-roading, heavy snow, ice, heavy rain, on top of it being my daily driver, so plenty of highway miles as well.
They lasted me 55K (rotated 4 times during ownership)
Never had a flat, great traction, great price.
One of the best tires I've owned. I had to emergency brake on a rainy day and man... my car was like glued to the road, no slipping, and stopped immediately. Their grip is amazing. On the durability side it is great too.
Kumho Solus Ta51a is a quality, long lived all season touring tire thats not super expensive.
The OEM Crugen is a mediocre tire, like most OEM tires, and they’re less than $250 retail.
I only buy continentals. I'd advise you do the same. I've had kumhos before but they were meh.
With 2 sets of Ridge Grapplers, I always had one that the tire shop never could balance. Plus they aren’t any quieter than a mud terrain.
Don’t get Trail Grapplers for the road. Loud AF and bumpy.
