Tires Toyo or Maxxis
The 3CT (MaxxTerra?) is a much more suitable rear tyre compound and it's already on the softer side, I can't imagine ever running a Maxxgrip rear tyre outside of pro racing as it's slow rolling and wears out incredibly fast.
Years ago they cross-threaded several of my bolts with an air wrench. Recently I tried them again however as they had better pricing than any other shop in town. Got a great deal on some Toyos. They did good work - no issues since.
My favourites are actually a Toyo that incorporates walnut shells into the rubber. I know it sounds ridiculous but having compared and tried a few, including the blizzaks, they were noticeably better in all winter conditions than anything else. For context, mine were put on a Sonata and I called them squid pelts because of the grip they provided.
I've run the Toyo GSi 6 HP for a while and it's been really good, I would prefer maybe a bit more ice traction at intersections polished by idiots flooring it and turning it into a skating rink.
Just got some 285/75r16 toyo at3's installed and they look and feel great. It's a 2023 tacoma trail edition so i wasn't sure how they would fit with the trail having the miniscule lift and the different rin offset but I just had it out wheeling and the only rubbing i had was 2 little spots on the front mudflaps only when half turned. I took a heat gun and pushed them in and that eliminated the rubbing entirely. Im really loving the look and feel (im not sure if its just me but it feels more planted to the ground). The fuel mileage went up to 15.4L/100 on the highway which isnt the worst and there is more road noise too but coming from my dodge dakota its still 1000x's better.
I have toyo at3 in that size on my 4th gen and there is zero rubbing. The only problem I have with 285 is they are super wide and the spare does not look good sagging under the truck. It fits it just doesn't look good at all.
Currently running toyo proxes on my G37 they grip super nice with the upgraded suspension on the car but not so much as advertised for the rain it still slips a tiny bit in the rain but either way I never floor it during rainy days
The Celsius 2 is a decent all weather but not as good as they crossclimate.
Even expensive tires can be cheap sometimes depending on how they were manufactured. I got a soft tire once and it wore the treads down super fast on just one tire. I rotated them multiple times and it was always the same tire wearing down.
It was a Toyo Geomancer, the tires were fine and looked nice but that one tire was definitely defective.
I love my Kryps but I’d be lying if I didn’t place them at the top of the PITA list especially the DH casing.
