Tires SUMITOMO or KENDA
I have the Sumitomo Encounter AT's on my frontier. Good reasonably priced tire.
Last night I had 35x12.7x17 Kenda Klever RTs installed on Bronco Sasquatch wheels. This truck looks perfect now. I do get a slight bit of rubbing at full lock so I will be trimming the front intrusion bar mounts.
Sumitomo HTR A/S PO3s have been able to handle anything that comes our way.
We wore out the OEMs at 40k and picked up a set of Sumitomo P03 tires. Extremely happy with them. They're not strictly EV tires so there's some efficiency loss (maybe 5-10%?) but the car is much grippier, especially in wet and slushy conditions. Also, it's just way more comfortable of a ride. Kind of doubt they'll last through the manufacturer warranty of 50k miles but also it was just under $100/tire installed at DiscountTire so I'm not terribly concerned
Kenda Klever RTgets my vote. Less people use them but I've got 40000+ miles on mine including some pretty decent off-road trips every year and they have held up extremely well.
Falken also makes several tires in that size. Falken are made by Sumitomo and excellent. My Sumitomos last at least 60k and are about $95-120.
I have a set of RT's on my truck. They were put on at 59,000 miles...my truck has 133k miles on it now, same tires..and I'm JUST now about to put a new set on...but don't absolutely have to yet. I'm fed up with the road noise as they wear down
I am about 2 seconds off pace of what I was on the falkens comparing my self to other drivers that I would be trading blows with. I will say I like the kenda alot for street driving and wet weather traction how ever it seams they are about 2 seconds off the pace of the Bridgestone.
I bought a $500 bike (Scott Sub Cross 50) for my kid. Comes with Kenda Booster tires. On 2nd day of commute to school, tire ripped at the middle seam, around 3 inches long.
I wanted to love Kendas new line of stuff they dropped a while back. I threw a couple Regoliths on my mtb and destroyed the rear on the first ride. I never have tire issues.
