Tires Toyo or Vredestein
I would lean towards Toyo OC AT3 EV (SL). There is more user data available for it, showing equal or nearly equal efficiency result compared to factory Pirelli Scorpion AT Plus.
I have the Toyos. They are great. Would buy again.
My truck is sitting on Toyo Open Country A/T 265/75r17, equivalent to a 32 I believe. Would be 265/80r for a 16 inch wheel. I really like these tires, I have no complaints so far.
Finally decided to ignore this sub entirely and went toyo open country H/Ts and couldn't be happier (beside catching 2 screws within 4 months) Previously had toyo oc A/T and noticed 0 downside in performance on and off road. Wayyy better than m/t s I've run in the past.
I love mine... surprisingly quiet and excellent wet weather gription
You can get a good all weather tire with 3PMSF rating for less than the CC2s. See Vredestein Quadtrac Pro, Falken Aklimate, and Altimax 365AW. All of these will be cheaper than the Michelins but will provide long tread life and good performance in snow + cold temps. I put the Quadtrac Pros on my mom's Impreza a couple years ago (Chicagoland area) and they've been great. So much better than the Firestone FT140s it came with from the factory.
On the truck I have some Vredestein Pinza AT tires which are quite beefy and snow tire rated but also pretty smooth on the highway.
Ran the Vredestein Wintrac Pro on my S3 last winter. They did fine. About the same as Michelin x-ice snows I had before. A little squirmy if you do any fun driving but that’s to be expected with a winter tire. They did surprisingly well on a frozen lake auto cross for a studless winter tire.
We’ve had a HORRIBLE experience with Vredestein tires. We put them on my son’s Acura TSX, and 20,000 miles later all four are shot and need to be replaced. The front two are BALD.
