Tires BFGoodrich or Nokia
IME the bfgs will probably ride better than the generals but both would be decent
From my experience, Nokian makes the best winter tires. Once you use winter tires on slush, ice and snow, you will never go back to all season tires in winter. With AWD, it's more about being able to turn and brake in slippery conditions than getting started.
I’ve owned 5 sets of Nokian tires and never a single issue with dry rot.
I went with Nokian outpost APTs. only had them for a few weeks and they handle just as well as the road tires I had on previously.
The Nokian lasts so Long been using it since 2001 in Minnesota and now it's 2024. Rubber and studs like new. Best money I ever spent.
I used to like Blizzaks, then I tried the Nokian Hakkapeliittas and found they worked better for me in Wisconsin winters.
I had the Nokian all-season snow rated tires years ago on my Subaru STi, in the midwest, as my winter tire and loved them. They were not as soft as snow tires and performed very well in frigid temps on dry and wet surface, with the occasional heavy snow.
Recently swapped out the horrendous oem Hankook street tires with Nokian Outpost nAT LT275/70r18. By FAR the best tires I’ve ever had on a vehicle. Actually more quiet than the stocks, better handling and lost no mpg’s.
I have a suburban and a Tahoe, I went with KO2 on both first but they suck in wet weather. Highway speeds and flash flood rains those tires are all over the road, and are noisy. They are great off-road and have taken them through rough terrain that took chunks off the sidewalk and never had a puncture and they last forever. I am now running the AT3w they are quieter on the road, perform better in wet weather. And they still perform well offroad.
I know this is an old thread, mine are doing the exact same!, I called nokian and they won't do anything.
