Tires YOKOHAMA or Cooper
Once my Yokohama geo lander tires are done I’m sticking to them for my 23 fozzy wilderness
Cooper discoverer ATP 2 285/70/17. They last me about 70k.
Yokohama Avid Ascend GT.
Here are some excerpts from reviews:

"How is it over wet and slippery roads? As far as the Avid Ascend GT is good on dry tarmac, it might be even better on wet and slippery roads. Relatively, of course. I find the Yokohama to be outstandingly good in resisting hydroplaning – the car remains controllable even in puddles of water. Also, the advanced tread compound pays dividends on damp surfaces, where the Avid Ascend GT holds itself extremely well. Overall, this is one of the safest and easiest grand-touring tires to drive in the rain. . . .
"Is it comfortable and refined? You bet it is! This is one of the quietest tires I’ve tried recently, improving the refinement of almost any vehicle you put it on. That’s true even at very high speeds, and for cars that don’t have that much noise insulation. On top of that, the ride quality with a set of Avid Ascend GT tires will be sublime. Smaller imperfections on the road are almost completely eaten by the Yokohama, while the larger potholes are tempered with aplomb. This is perhaps the biggest reason why you would opt for a set of these tires – they are outstandingly comfortable over any surface you encounter."
Overall the Outback performed better than I expected with 4 occupants and a trailer, however I wouldn’t want to tow any more then 1500 pounds for the distance I traveled. Acceleration was obviously impacted but not as much as I feared, the 2.5i does have enough power for the load I was putting it under. At really high elevations and fairly steep grades I did have to decrease my speed to keep my RPM’s down
I run these on my 2010 jcw (Cooper Zeon RS3-G1™ ) and really like them. Live in Canada and they were much better than I expected in winter. Didn’t even put on my winter tires.
thanks for the tip, will keep these in mind. my original hankook tyres and 19" were giving such harsh ride I've [downsized to 18" with Yokohama All Terrain](https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModelY/comments/15fb1m8/downsized_tyres/), but now I'm thinking of giving these a go on my 19" original alloy too for summer perhaps!
The cooper ATP 2’s. Not really a known tire, you can only get them a few places online like discount tire. They are amazing tires I have had them for almost two years now and the tread still looks brand new! And they are relatively cheap. The sidewall is also aggressive they give a nice look
Cooper rugged treks are legit but it’s always hard to beat the bfgoodrich all terrain. They’re a popular classic for a reason. Rugged treks are great slightly more aggressive tire. Road noise is surprisingly low for how aggressive the tire is.
AT3. Much better on-road, better mpg, not as good off-road, but still very good.
Two major alignments on my 22 Outback Premium 16,000 miles and the tires need replacing, under warranty sir thanks, I was told yeah that’s typical with the Yokohama’s?
