Owner reviews for tires

I use Bridgestone Turanza T005s. They harden really fast if you don't take care of it, but they are very good for daily driving and last quite well if you take care of it.

Michelins defender platinum.

Never look back. Quieeeeet and long lasting. Great rain performance.

Awesome in the slushy winter stuff we see in the Midwest. Way, WAY better than stocks in every conceivable respect- they're even more comfortable and quieter

All you need is good studded tires like Nokian and you will be fine.

Have about 5k on the Michelins after 55K on General Grabbers. As far as quiet goes, the Michelins are definitely quieter (and I think smoother) than the Generals.

I just put on bfg trial terrain all season and live in New England don’t get much snow.

They have much more grip than the original tyre but I don’t notice a difference in noise which is imprtant to me.

Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires are great in dry & rain.

That being said I'm currently having Sailun Terramax HLT installed on my SUV. I will report back how they feel.

Stay away from Kumho tires, I’m just a Dad with a Sienna for the family, but I had a Honda Fit I drove 4 miles to the office for work. Got a pair of Kumho 80k rated, thought would be the last I’d have to buy. Worn out at barely 21k on them, on a Fit that don’t weigh much more than a lawnmower.

VW/Audi has been mounting these on some Audi SUV's at the factory. I went to two reputable tire stores, and they both corroborated the weakness of this specific tire; due to weak sidewall strength. They are like marshmallows. Any competent driver who has sporting blood can sense how poorly large vehicles handle with these model tires.
