Tires YOKOHAMA or BFGoodrich
I’ve had BFG KO2s on 2 trucks and an SUV. Very happy with them, little to no noise, tread lasts too. Great grip even on my 2WD
I've had KO2s on my 2017 Silverado for a month or so now and have done quite a few highway miles and some off-roading with them. Overall I am quite happy with them and think they are a major upgrade over the stock tires.
I have an 05 Silverado 1500, the KO2s have been incredible! They are smooth on the highway and have a 50k mile warranty. I have taken them cross country and in the snow up in the Rockies (4WD of course but still). Worth every penny in my humble opinion.
I’m 1 month in on my first set of Geolandar AT’s and have had snow up in northern AB for a couple of weeks. Initial observations: love them! They are quieter than either the KO2 or Duratrac. I haven’t noticed any improvement in fuel economy. On snow and ice covered roads though, my early observation is they outperform the other tires I’ve used. All in all, they are meeting my relatively high expectations for them so far.
I had the Geolandars on my 4wd Tacoma when I lived in Alaska. I never got snow tires during winter because I thought I’d be good enough with the Geos. They worked well enough for me, although a couple of times I did slip. Nothing major. I just ended up using my brakes further away from my intended stopping point. In the rain they worked great, never had an issue. Versatile tire without the price point of BFG. Also, the ride on dry highways wasn’t loud and obnoxious, smooth ride imo.
Blizzaks are probably the best but I've heard they can wear fast. The Yokohama iceguard worked well for me as well.
Yoko N905 served me wonderfully in the Italian alps. Have a small fwd turbo A1. Got up some mountain passes where big 4x4s struggled without chains
I'm usually able to get 4 BF Goodrich tires for a Toyota at Costco for about $400 installed. I keep an eye on sales and deals and when it's time I make my move. Been doing this for about 15 years and always able to find them in that range. Also come with included tire rotation and roadside service.
At the moment we have K02's on our van year round and G015's as winter tires for the Touareg. Both do their job in snow and the occasional mud at the trail head. At the time I got the K02's because they look more bad ass. They are overkill for me and are loud and getting louder as they wear.
BEWARE: Failed Yokohama Stock Tire. Ive seen other posts about similar blowouts from primes but didn't pay too much attention since I planned on eventually switching wheels anyways. but this just happened driving 70 on the freeway. They are the stock Yokohama's that came with my 22 Prime.
