Tires Toyo or OEM FORD
Personally, I'd go with Toyo Proxies CF2's. I find they are around the right budget and still get "enough" quality without straying towards the needlessly expensive ones.
I buy Toyo Proxes. They're ~$110/tire in my car's size and last 2-3 years (18,000-27,000 miles give or take).
Back when I had an Evo 8 I was running Toyo R888s, until they became too costly to run during daily driving, so I switched to Nankang NS2Rs.
Toyo Open Country AT III are the best all around. Excellent wet road traction too compared to the others.
I just put the Toyo Open Country A/T III on my 4Runner this morning and so far digging the ride.
Toyo Celsius (note that the II version just came out recently): "What’s even more surprising is that the Toyo Celsius handles ice securely, provided you don’t push too hard."
We've got Toyo A24s on our outlander, good performance and have got 90,000 from the set.
I've had my '22 FWD XLT since last June. I regularly get 36+ in summer, but only 30 in (MN) winter with snow tires.
I can't input on the stretch, I am running the proxes 4 , I'm running a 19x8.5 with a 215-35 so my stretch is not close to what yours will be but I can tell you these tires are super loud with tons of road noise.
Whatever you do, don't buy Toyo tires. They do not go well with the Sonic....worst traction of any tire I've ever had on a car in my 45 years of driving.
