Tires BFGoodrich or SUMITOMO
I've been happy with the bfg ko3 tires. Noise wise they're similar to the scorpions, but switching from the old scorpions to the new ko3s was like night and day. I've only got about 7k on then but they haven't become any louder yet
I have Sumitomo Encounter ATs that I like pretty well. On road manners are great and no complaints off-road. They don't look as "cool" as some of the other ATs but they work just as well.
Had an 04' wrx with BF Goodridge tires. Rotated them every 10k miles and they lasted almost 75k.
Had ko2's on my 03 outback and for the 3k miles it had them, they still looked brand new
I have been really happy with my BFG HD Terrains. Picked them up from eBay as a set of takeoffs in practically new condition. Great on and off road.
I have 70k on them and probably another 5k to go but I do have 5 tires total in rotation. The K02s are pretty quiet on road and perform well enough when offroading in the Sierras. Almost zero time in snow though.
Mine fell from 28 to 26 mpg (2020 Ram Laramie Ecodiesel) after putting on BF Goodrich TKOs.
I found comparable value with the stock sumitomo tires the came with.
Can confirm that KO2 are horrible on ice and snow.
I have load range E tires (BFG KO3) on Rock Warrior 17" forged wheels, so I've made that tradeoff too, but am clear-eyed about consequences. Also, loss in MPG and acceleration due to having to spin more weight on each wheel. And incorrect speedometer / odometer readings. And loss in tow capacity (due to giving away torque via taller tires, which effectively decreases gear ratios).
