Best bang for your buck is the Dunlop RoadSmart III. You should be able to get 6k+ miles. And they’re plenty sticky enough for spirited riding in all but expert track conditions.
Went from an all season to an all terrain and the only thing I noticed was a low hum sticky gravel sound at low turning speeds. Highway driving was about the same if not a bit quieter.
in the end I ended up installing the stock tires Dunlop AT22 which are the best
I'm planning to try the Dunlop Ensave in 195/65R15 because its the only eco focused tire in that size I can find that weighs under 17lbs.
The stock dunlops are actually a pretty good summer tire, they just wear fast, but their grip in the dry once they warm up is pretty good.
I’m a cheap ass and I run the Walmart Cooper Discoverer A/T’s at 265/75/16 for $145 a tire. Perfectly fine for my driving which sounds similar to yours
The 32" Cooper Discoverer AT3s on our YJ have been great. And they were very affordable.
I have a set of Cooper 225/60/18 snow tires that grip really well, but I don't like the way they drive. The skinniness makes turning feel loose, and it feels like the car is going to flip (though it definitely isn't).
I'm at 31k on the factory 17" dunlops, I'm NOW starting to slide in the rain a bit
I have not been a fan of these tires at all. The stock Dunlops wear quickly and are bad tires for rain and obviously cold weather.
