Tires Cooper or KENDA
After searching online, I found a brand called Kenda Klever. After installing them, I did a review video on the tires and what I thought about them. Overall, they have been a good tire. Alot of comments I have read say they are hard to balance. I have not had any issues with them so far. I plan on doing another 4-6 month update video review on them to see how they are wearing.
My coopers have always worked amazingly well in the snow, and are quite affordable if timed right with rebates.
I have been buying Cooper tires for years on some of my cars so I would recommend at least looking at Cooper CS5, a good tire at a fare price
I just put Cooper Discoverer AT3 on mine and i love them. Plenty of meat on them and quiet
I ran a set of ST Maxx tires on my last 4runner and LOVED them.
I’ve also used 26x2.3 Kenda K-Rads. A little heavier, and not a supple, but the tires wear very slowly. You can get a ton of road mileage out of them.
Kenda happy medium is nice in 2.3. Fast rolling, not too heavy or expensive.
I have the cooper discoverer atw tires on my truck. They are excellent and have 80k tread warranty. They are not quite as good stopping as the Michelin xice tires on my wife's vehicle but miles better than mud and snow tires people drive around with here in the winter.
Bought a set of Cooper CS-5 Grand Touring for my RAV two years ago. Best tires I've ever put on a car.
My Scout came from the factory Kenda tires. I am wholly not impressed with them, after 9,000 km they are just starting to scrub in for turning grip. I am also under the understanding that these factory tires are only good for 10,000km, so I will be changing none the less.
The addition of any moisture to the rear wheel, including from dew or fog reduces grip friction into the realm of nonexistence making for a disconcerting riding experience.
