I had good experience with Kumho as affordable tyre option
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.
Good grip in dry & wet, mud + snow rated, quiet, have had them on for the past 3 years. I live in Ontario, these are excellent in the snow.
Buy Kuhmo AT51 road venture. You won't regret it. Even in deep snow.
I live in mountains with lots of snow. No problem whatsoever.
Oh and the tires are very quiet.
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 ran Nokian WRG2, 3 and 4 on all my cars here in Canada over the last many years but I was unable to find 255/45 for the MY.
I went with Toyo Celcius P255/45R19 instead, and they are fairly good (except in rain they suck), but slightly worse than the Nokians.
The Kumho are crap in the rain. I was facing hydroplaning issues within a week of buying the car.
The did do it in a decently controlled way but I have not been impressed with the stock tires at all. Not to mention I have 20k on them and about 10% of tread left.
We changed our's the first time it rained... They are garbage.
