Tires Pirelli or BFGoodrich
I am so glad these were worn out by the time I bought my stock used JK. The minute I put KO2s on there, my Jeep became a real vehicle.
There’s no better feeling in the world than replacing Pirelli’s with Continental’s, just got rid of mine and threw on some conti purecontacts, cat rides so much smoother and no more worries about my tires.
One more vote for the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3. Had them on the CX-5 for more than a year and they make me wish I had done it sooner.
I run the Pirellis on our MKT and it does fine year round. Decent grip in the twisties when it comes time for the lake trip, love those state routes. Never have any issues in the white stuff in the winter either. My brother had Conti Cross Climates on his GTI up until its last day and he loved them in the winter time though he did say they were a little lack luster in summer, they're AS tires after all.
We put the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 on the Ioniq 5. Great tire, combines good handling with a smooth quiet ride. I think the Continentals will be slightly more comfortable. Michelin Defenders would be my 3rd choice just based on price. Newer Michelins haven't wowed me in general, and they are ridiculously priced. Competing Pirellis and Continentals are usually cheaper and give you comparable performance.
I replaced the Goodyears with Pirelli WeatherActive, also Northeast.
We run Falken Wilkpeak A/T3W on my wife’s Yukon and they are great. I had BF Goodrich A/T KO2s on my previous pickup and they were pretty good too. I’ve never owned Toyo tires before, so it’s a bit of a leap of faith, but the preliminary reviews I’m reading about the quality and efficiency of these EV specific all-terrains is promising. They look great!
I’ve always loved my KO2’s until this set. They don’t seem to do as well in wet roads as they used to.
I was just struggling with a set of these the other day, they are 28mm and my rims are actually hooked at 22mm internal, so nothing too crazy. I barely managed to get 1 bead on, so I knew the second one would be a pain lol. It took a lot of convincing to get them on.
No point going for the TO (Tesla original) models with a bit of foam in them, they claim this will reduce road noise but this really makes no differemce. If you want a quieter ride install some sound deadener pads.
