Tires Toyo or Continental
I run them on my 110, they are a commercial tyre and about the only thing that holds up to sharp rock and chip. They get a bit loud after the first 20 000kms admittedly a lot of local retailers wanted to sell me them at the same price as their other offerings shopped around and got them about 20% cheaper.
Not as good on the sand as a highway tyres although as an all rounder pretty good IMO. I think mine have around 50 000kms and still plenty of life left.
Love my 35 Toyo AT3s! Congrats.
This is a great choice if you are looking to upgrade your performance on a stock Rubicon or Mojave, but don’t want to change the ride or incur the extra costs of a lift and rims. These are true 35 inch tires not metric. I picked up 1.25 inch In clearance over the stock Falken MT that came with it. You can get them in a 35x11.5x17 so they fit the stock rims. Ride is excellent and noticeably quieter than the MTs. These are a cross between AT2 and the MT. Still gives you great off-road performance as well.
10x better than the continentals in snow.
I got new tires for my mk7 Jetta gli yesterday at Discount Tires. Continental dws06plus, 225/45/18, or whatever stock size is. Great tires. Holy cow, these tires make the car drive that much better.
My favorite tire for the typical forester/outback suburb crowd I see at work is still the Continental contiprocontact series. Decent wear, decent performance, easy to install, easy to patch, balance is usually good.
If you can fork out a little extra, Toyo Proxes A/S sports. Amazing tire in both wet and dry conditions. They’re made to be used on “sportier” drives.
I recently purchased a set of 4 Toyo Celsius 2 tires for my 2019 Kia Optima. After living with them for a couple of days, they're good but they have a couple of weird quirks.
Pros: Pretty quiet, great snow/ice traction, soaks up bumps great.
Cons: The compound feels unnervingly soft, to the point it feels like it's running on low pressure (it's not). As a result, I feel like dry handling takes a big hit. I can't speak much for MPG but because of how soft the tires are, there seems to be a lot of rolling resistance.
Getting back to reliability, the one thing that all the forums agree on is that the OEM Continental ProContact TX 245/35R20 on the SEL-P R-Line is vulnerable to just about anything.
I think the ProContacts are known to be junk. I upgraded to Continental DWS. If those fail, I'm switching brands for life.
