I would recommend Firestone Destinations or Yokohama Geolandars. I’ve seen them go pretty well.
And I will tell you that, for my money, Yokohama are great tires.
I’ve come to like Yokohama tires enough I’d take them over continental tires any day.
2020 Elantra SEL with the Kumho TA31s I currently have 64,700 miles on the stock tires… So far they’re good tires I think.
Once my Yokohama geo lander tires are done I’m sticking to them for my 23 fozzy wilderness
I got 75,000+ miles out of my Kumho Road Venture AT 51's on my 2017 Off Road, they are all terrain and 3 peak snowflake rated. I do long road trips, occasional towing of a small trailer, and occasional off roading for photography and I've loved these tires.
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
Mine is studded Kumho Wintercraft. It's actually quite good in the snow and ice, soft. But if we take the snow and ice out of the picture it's not that great, probably cause of studs.
Falken RT660 suck when temps are below 60F as even in the dry the rears won't get enough heat in them to work properly until around runs 5-6. Kumho V730 do better in cool dry weather than the RT660, but they're not a rain tire (at least not here in the Pacific NW).
