I’ve had both. Liked the grapplers better and run them currently. They perform better in the rain. That’s pretty much the only difference I was able to notice
Owner reviews for tires
I love my wildpeaks but they’re fucking HEAVY. If you don’t mind a fairly noticeable loss of power and -2/3 MPG’s then the wildpeaks are the best option for performance and looks.
I’ve been running 37” g003s for 12000 miles lots of highway and they are amazing. No issues on anything. Granted they are pricey as hell but wear pretty evenly and slowly. On pace for 55000 or miles with current wear.
I recommend Toyo tires, Bridgestone and Michelin. We usually go with toyo but all of the 3 have served us well
I have a set of Kumho Crugens on one of my cars, I like them so far (just installed in October, and we do get winter).
I currently have General Altimax RT43's, and they've been pretty solid.
That said Nitto Ridge Grapplers are a good compromise. Considered a ‘Mud Terrain hybrid’ but have great street manners.
I daily Goodyear mtr tires. Recently drove a 700 mile trip on them. You will hear them, but they aren't that bad. They perform pretty well on road, about the same as the duratracs I had before.
The brand is positioned in the middle tier in its home market, and the Quatrac Pro is its most popular all-season tire. In Dutch tire tests it tends to end up at the bottom of the rankings, but it’s a popular choice regardless because of its cost and the fact that it’s a comfortable tire that wears pretty well.
My 2019 GLI came with the Hankook Kinergy GT. On paper it is considered a premium touring tire, but it is not very good. It is mostly dry where I live, but those things break loose at the slightest provocation - cornering, accelerating, etc. I don't know what they are like in the wet; from what I have read, they are not very good.
