Tires BFGoodrich or GENERAL TIRE
I've a set of the 365AW on one car and a set of RT45 on another car, the 365's are amazing in Chicagoland weather. The 45's I have no complaints but would replace them with 365's as they do seem to handle better in all weather conditions.
I run BFG 265R18 Trail Terrains which I’ve put on multiple vehicles. They’re not as noisy as KO2s and are snow rated.
The General Grabber is a good tire but they throw rocks like crazy.
I've always ran BF Goodrich advantage controls, Michelin CrossClimates, Goodyear Eagle RS-A, or Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 for summers only.
Given I get a pretty big discount since I work for a tire shop, it's the experience I've had that makes my opinion. Haven't let me down unless I've done some stupid shit, like burnouts or drifts, and even then I only do when I've got the next set lined up.
Altimax RT45/43 is the best budget tires around, however it's not a match against Bridgestone WeatherPeak.
I also used to have a 2008 Nissan Frontier. I had General Grabber AT-Xs on that truck. Decently comfortable, good load rating (I used that truck for towing), rated for snow, and the tread was good for the light offroading I did. Although being an offroad tire with a somewhat aggressive tread, it was noisy at highway speeds. I didn't really mind, but others might.
The Generals on my car are worlds better than the Pirellis on it before.
The Pirelli P1s were so loud you couldn't have a conversation on the highway, so lacking in grip that a 150hp car could spin the tires in dry conditions. After I went sideways on some wet concrete, I replaced them with General Exclaim tires - their 'sporty' all seasons, all of $50 each from Walmart. It grips like a race car, is quiet and smooth, and tire life is close.
General is good. I have Evertrek GTs on my car, they seem to be a pretty good tire.
Have KO2s on my work truck. Never left me stuck on a job site. No issues after 3 years. Would I put them on my jeep? Probably not. It depends on use.
Long ago my first new set of tires were BFG Trail T/A in 33/12.50/15 for my old IH. With less than 5k miles sidewall deteriorated on one tire. Another on opposite corner broke or slipped a belt.
