Tires NITTO or Kumho
I’ve had very good luck with copper and nitto. Top notch products
I have the trail grapplers m/t in 37s on my CJ7 and they're amazing how good they do in all conditions, ok on the road, great in mud, great for crawling over rocks wet and dry, and amazing in snow at 1 in p.s.i. for a road tire.
I second the kumhos v730. For the price they are pretty hard to beat. They don’t heat up as fast as ao52’s but the grip level is similar and they last longer
I have NC Miata and run Kumho V730s as a track and autocross tire. Might be like 0.5 sec off the fastest tire over a 60 sec course and holds up well on track.
I bought Kumho a/s for the first time this summer and I am very happy with them so far.
I have a set of Kumho A/T tires on my beater 4runner and tbh they’re not snow tires and they’ve still been fantastic in the snow. Don’t have the best ride quality, but I’ve thoroughly liked them for the last 35k miles.
I've had my Ridge Grapplers for about 4 years. Mostly highway. My only complaint would be wet pavement traction is not as good as I would prefer. Dry pavement is as good as I need it. Best traction of any tire I've ever had in snow. Road noise is pretty damn low for an aggressive looking tire. The best thing about these tires that will make me get another set soon is that I currently have about 100,000 miles on them.
my last set of tires were Kumho AT51s that I bought for the same reason - got them for a little over $500 for four, so I said WTH. They were alright and, for what I paid for them, I think I got my money out of them, but I ended up replacing them about 10-15k miles before their stated life because one of them had a steel belt break and it was making a horrible sound, especially at low speed. They were also kinda loud for just being an A/T
The ride is nice, noise is low, but the wet traction is very poor.
Kumho tires suck. Mine lasted about 24k miles before I replaced them with Michelins.
