225/40/19 snows are what i run on the stock wheel, the Kumho Wintercraft WP72 is a killer tire for the money ($173 on simple tire)
When I first started autocross, I was on mismatched all seasons with different tires all around. A local autocrosser with old tires took pity on me and gifted me a set of used Toyo Proxes R1R he didn't need any more. Mind. Blown.
Kuhmo Ecsta PS91 245/40/R18
Tires: Toyo Proxes T1 Sport
Tyres: Kumho ecsta lx platinum
Ended up going in a completely different direction. Found the Toyo Open County AT2 for 20% off, making it significantly cheaper. Couldn't say no given the price.
i have the toyo m/t's. they're 37x13.5 r17 and they ride super smooth. you can definitely hear them a little bit but they are the least noisey m/t tires i've owned. i've also been told by multiple shops / people that i have one of the smoothest riding lifted trucks they've ever driven. so that says something about these tires. i'd personally recommend them
I swapped my OEM tires for summer tires (Kumho Ecsta PS31), they provide much more grip and are a bit quieter though since they aren't LRR (Low Rolling Resistance) I do lose about 10% on range.
I didn't have as much tire noise with the Bridgestones as I do now with my Toyo Proxies ZR4's. These tires can get a bit loud, especially around 40 mph and at 80 mph.
I have the Kumhos and I don't like them. They are quiet, and seem to last forever, to my chagrin. Personally, I'd rather trade a little tread life for more performance, but they might be what you are looking for. A word of warning, though: they break loose pretty easily when it's wet.
