You’re use case screams Michelin Defender. Fantastic long life tire with good traction and can handle some dirt too.
Owner reviews for tires
I used to have a Jeep Renegade Trailhawk that I put Falken Wildpeaks on, and those were fantastic tires. Not terribly loud on pavement, excellent traction in rain, and they looked nice.
I put a set of the dextero at on my son's blazer. They did great. They are quiet. We put about 10,000 on them before we sold it. Only problem I saw was the front was wearing funny but that was the blazer not the tires.
Ion Evo A/S has a softer and quieter ride. they don't stick like Michelin's off the line and in the corners, but would easily pick Hankooks again
BF Goodrich is Michelin’s “consumer” brand; I’ve had those exact tires on my Mazda3 and liked them a lot.
went with 33 Toyo open country on mine they’re awesome
Stock AT3s were garbage. I replaced them with AT4s and I love them.
I have a 2012 X3. Just put Falken Aklimates 235/60R17 on.
Just have these on for ~2 months
Handling in dry is still pretty good, not as sharp as the stock one for sure, but good enough for me
Heard that they are good inthe wet. I went through couple rainy days and felt like it's quite easy to get hydroplane.
Car didn't lose control, but I have never realised those water puddles in the past with other tires
Not sure whether it's a good thing or not
I had P-Zeros but they were shocking in cold/damp weather, depends on your geography but if it’s going to drop below 5 degrees C, then don’t get them.
