Tires Toyo or GENERAL TIRE
I have had great luck with the Toyo Open Country A/T III on my 2500HD Silverado. We pull our 5th wheel everywhere. They are relatively quiet and have the load rating we need and good tread for a light all terrain.
I ran a General Altimax (AS??) on one of my older cars and at the time was plenty happy with it.
Can’t speak to them on a crosstrek directly, but I have a set on my Xterra. Not terrible in terms of road noise day to day (even at a higher load rating on a heavier vehicle), and great tread life so far. As for grip, they are excellent. They got me through Minnesota’s snowiest winter in recent history last year and aided in getting a lot of my neighbors unstuck too.
I had AT3’s on my trek before I sold it for a truck. Great tires. They were great on muddy back roads in Texas getting to rural stations and were just as good when I moved to Colorado and dealt with snow storms.
Love the Toyo AT3 on my 17 CT. 215/65R15s. For comparison, the Bridgestones were 8lbs heavier per tire and that’s a huge difference in acceleration and wear/tear on the suspension/steering components. Also they are much quieter than Bridgestones.
Currently have a/t 3 on my CT, overall love them, 19k on the tires overall with light to moderate off-road and as well snow storms. They are a bit noiser but once you get used to it, the noise won't bother you. Better traction overall and worth it compared to the stock tires that came on mine. Went mudding over the weekend and they did great
I am a big fan of General tires in general in the moderate budget category... they are a great cost to benefit tire and part of Continental tires.
The Grabber HTS 60 is a great tire... as long as you don't have to deal with winter conditions.
I had General Altimax Arctic 12s for 2 years and didn’t switch them out in the summer. Surprisingly great performance on all the dirt roads and still held traction on their second winter season.
Got my car used with a set of them on there(AS-05), they grip really well but they seem noisy on the road. Not sure if it's my car or the tires. They were descent in the snow. I got through a Rochester, NY winter with them on a RWD Kia Stinger.
I wasn't easy on the tires and a 1.5 years in they are at the wear bars.
Tires (Toyo) are HORRIBLE and noisey garbage.
