I run ridge grapplers. They do pretty good in Colorado’s snow.
I don’t think I’ll run a different tire on my crosstrek again
I have Nitto tires and they're great. I drive a lot of rural roads, gravel/sad crumbling asphalt. They've held up. They haven't even gone low in the cold weather at all.
I've had geolanders in the past too and they were also really nice. But the Nittos a slightly less expensive.
Love my Nittos. Much quieter and ride much more like an all season on the highway than Falkens. They’ve been great in the desert, during rain storms, and ice. No change in gas mileage either where I saw a pretty large dip with Wildpeaks.
I put the nitto on 2 weeks ago and very happy with them. Handled a small snow great.
I have a new set of the recon grapplers and they preform very well for what I do.
So for I like them more than the ko2s. They seem more quite over the ko2s. I think they are a thicker ply tire than the ko2s and can support more weight as well. I get about 20mpg hwy at 79mph.
I had NeoGens (205/50r15) and liked the way they looked, and they handled great in dry weather... But would break loose in wet pretty easily. And while I had them I didn't notice the road noise until... I got some Continental ExtremeContact Sports (205/50r15) These guys have much less road noise, except at slower speeds where you can hear every single tiny rock and pebble tossed up in the wheel well lol. But they look fantastic and are incredible in dry AND wet weather!
I just got my first experience on the Toyos this morning in some snow here in Virginia. The Toyos were really pretty awful :-(. They're fine for getting going and driving around - in fact, even starting off a hill was really no issue, but God help you if you have to stop quickly...because they wont. It was a slide-fest even with just a thin layer of snow.
I had the Nitto 420S on my Ram SRT-10. The tread virtually did not wear, but they had the worst wet traction I've ever experienced by the time they were 5 years old. They turned to rocks despite still having 90% tread. No rotting or cracks.
