Toyo Open Country AT III. Comfortable ride, very quiet.
I used General Tire Altimax 12 studded tires on my 2017 VW Golf Sportwagen for the 4 winters that I lived in central Maine and absolutely loved them. Great winter tire especially for the price.
I like the Altimax on my Passat.
Went with Toyo Proxes R888Rs, 205/45/16s in the front and 225/45/16s in the rear. Quick run around the block and they felt great. They also look pretty good
That’s what on my NB right now. I’ve put maybe 3k on them so far and haven’t had issues. I was a little skeptical of them on a Miata since they’re 500 treadwear, but for daily drivers and very limited spirited driving they’re fine. I’ve had the same tire on my wife’s Ford Escape for quite a while and they’ve been great on it, especially wet weather.
Toyo Open Country are the only tires I have run for the last 20+years. Across three 4Runners. Close to 500k miles between my ‘98 SR5, ‘05Limited and 2020 ORP. I live in Washington and do quite a bit more off roading than it sounds like you do. The Open County Toyo line has been fantastic off-road, but I love them because they are so quiet and comfortable on the highway for such a capable tire.
I commute to DIA from the Springs a LOT, and I have the AT3s. Great tire, lightweight enough to preserve MPGs, but still does well in snow. Plus they still look pretty good. Had them 20k miles now and they're still in great shape.
I am on my second set of General Grabbers, and may go for another set. aggressive tread, quiet on the road, and last forever.
AT3s should go the distance but a lot softer tire I noticed. Got about 50k on mine but I had cupping due to alignment so I replaced them with probably 30% left.
those toyos are widely regarded as poor tires, they ride quiet when they're new but very shortly they get loud and the grip is pretty bad and any sort of inclement weather even just rain.
