Tires Nokia or Vredestein
I immediately swapped the 20's with the OEM Goodyears for 19's with Vredestein Wintrac Pros.
Quatrac Pros. All weather severe snow and rated tops for wet traction to boot.
We put them on our 2018 XT this year, studless. Been pretty good so far. The -30C we've been getting in Calgary lately though there's still some slip on the hard sheer ice but no way I'd want to try regular all seasons!
I have the Ones on my 1997 Toyota Estima Emina and they're great. Nice steering response and like Nokian's other all-season tires, they do great in the wet. I also appreciate the aramid (kevlar) sidewalls.
Best tires I've used in order are:
Nokian Hakka r3 (r5, r10, r8)
Nokian One. They are cheaper than top tier tires with the same or better ratings. They have a 80k mile tread wear warranty, reinforced sidewalls and great grip in the rain. I live in the PNW and have had them for only a couple months but I highly recommend.
Mine is a beast with Hakkapeliitta R3 snow tires.
I have nokian outpost all terrains on my rig. I love the way they look.
Personally, I think a Hakka 1 or Hakka 2 is too agressive a tire for an AWD NJ daily driver unless your commute is only a couple of miles. They'll corner like you have four gum-erasers mounted and at least double your road noise.
The sidewall is thin af on these tires. I’ve had 2 blowouts so far after 10k or so.
