I’m on my 2nd set of Yokohama Advans for my 16GT. Longest lived tires (60k miles +) I’m willing to live with ever.
I would go with BF Goodrich KO2s, Falken AT3Ws, Or Yokohama. DO NOT get Goodyears or Mikey Thompsons, Goodyears are about the only tire I commonly replace new, customer buys them, hates them, comes back a week later and replaces them, and Mikey Thompsons, only thing I commonly put them on are people that don’t care about ride quality (People with “Built” Jeep wranglers that are mall crawlers, like they only did exterior mods). The tires I suggested will be on the pricier side but not too bad, they will all last you much longer then cheaper tires would
Just changed these out in my 2017! 67k miles. I really liked them, but they were unavailable at discount tire so now I’ve got Yokohama somethings.
Yokohama ADVAN Sport A/S actually is quite value for money so to speak.
For road tires I have Yokohama Avid GT on my Impreza and I’ve been very happy with them in the wet and light snow that we get in Memphis (they are a snowflake rated tire).
If you are shopping the 235/65 17 size you can get Yokohama g015 for 160 each. They are great tires loved them on my tacoma. Now I have wrangler AT Kevlar not as good imho
The summer Dunlops that come with the VB are not good for winter use. I'd suggest getting winter tires or at least all weather tires to be on the safe side. I got Michelin CrossClimate 2's and will be rolling into winter with those here in eastern Oregon.
I ran these tires once to save money. You can get a knee down but noticably less traction than something like an s22. Afterwords I switched to michelin power 5's, loved them.
Went sideways driving on ice last year in the OEM Dunlops, and while it was kinda fun, it was terrifying to experience zero traction even at low speed.
Now that I have a proper set of Blizzaks, it’s like night and day. Insane traction and way better stopping power.
The very first storm I had my 22 on stock the Dunlop’s I slid through a whole intersection with abs thumping the whole time I was NOT prepared for how bad they were.
