Tires NITTO or Laufenn
Pretty much all of those tyres are decent, I use Laufenn Z and S series (which are made by Hankook) on the back of 2 of my high performance cars as I was getting sick of paying pilot sport or eagle money too regularly and they are honestly comparable.
I've run laufenn on a newish golf and they're decent.
Quiet, decent lifespan well priced.
Tyre ship guy told me they're owned by Hankook, kind of a Lexus Toyota thing i.e not brand new tech/materials and maybe a previous tread pattern.
Been happy with them and will keep using them.
Now I am running Laufeen with summer dunlops and I am blown away!
Laufeen has been the best tires I have had. I am about 15k miles in and they feel just as good as they did day on, if not better!
I’m running 255/80 17 Ridge Grapplers on my Tacoma and love em.
I have 35k miles on the Nitto Nomad Grapplers and they’ve done great. They’ve handled everything I’ve thrown at them. I would buy another set in a heartbeat.
I got Nittos recently and they’re great! Comparable to falkens and slightly cheaper as well. I havent done any off-roading yet, but they drive well on pavement, and gravel roads such as ones we have here are no issue. More grip than the OEM ones, at least it feels like it.
Not sure what size you are planning or what platform, but I'll give you Nitto feedback FWIW.
17' cummins 35-12.50-18's .It will pick up rocks and throw them a lot. Maybe have 20-25k and are less than half tread.
I,d trust a Laufen over an arroyo based on the overall treads, though typically the arroyos will last a little bit longer.
I’ve put 200k plus on ridge grapplers in Wisconsin winters. They are terrible in the snow. Awesome off-road in mud, but not good winter tires.
I have Laufenn here on my Passat I got from Carmax and today I finally checked the DOT number to see how old they are cause I wanted to replace them already due to me thinking they were old af and needed replacement. Well turns out they are 3 years old and perform so bad that the car slips even on dry asphalt.
