Tires Toyo or KENDA
I have them on mine. I love em. The only downside I've found is I don't get the mileage I did with the stock rubbers.
I ran the AT2’s on mine and got 70k out of them. Put the AT3’s on sometime in 2020-2021 and have 60k on them now. Great tire on road, off, in snow, rock crawling, etc.
I liked mine A LOT. If you don't need to snow rating, see if you can find the AT 2 version as they're usually cheaper and carry the same tread warranty.
If you go with the cheaper of the two options, get the Kenda Kozmik's. They're similar to the Michelin City Grips and have the same dual compound tread. I've never had any problems with them and they've lasted well over 6000 miles, they hold the road in wet weather and do okay in light snow.
Kenda tyres also in Australia and these aren’t a cheap crappy brand. The R/T & M/T have a very durable casing and are good value for money
Kenda kraiser KR20As are a great tire, wear kinda fast, but cheap to replace makes a good difference, or federal 595rs RR love this tire hooks all the time for me
I personally went with C load with the Toyo AT’s. Came from BFG AT E load. No regrets. Not apples to apples, but between those two the Toyo in C was SIGNIFICANTLY softer in ride quality which was comfy both on and off road. Made daily commuting, long road trips, and off roading (especially on washboard) much more tolerable.
I don’t share the same disdain for them that everyone else on this sub though. Our CX-5+stock tires is still 10x quieter than the Honda Accord+Pirellis that it replaced.
I did a comparison and my Toyo R888r were 4 seconds faster on a 1 minute lap than my 595’s on my fiesta ST.
Hated my toyos.
