Tires Kumho or BFGoodrich
BF Goodrich A/T KO2's may fit the bill, good on both trail and highway. However, they do decrease highway comfort a bit. You might also look at the BF Goodrich Trail-Terrains which are slightly less aggressive but much more comfortable on the highway. I have used and used both of these tires for years and easily get 40,000 - 50,000 miles on them.
The bf Goodrich trail terrain t/a’s are what I had on my xj, good tires that stood great on highway and on mud/sand/rocks. Didn’t lose any mileage either and they looked pretty good after around 1000 miles, no visible wear or tread loss so I’ll probably be running those in the future
It seems the Kumho scores higher in wet conditions, while the dry performance is quite similar to the Toyo.
HS52 is pretty solid, given the recent balance between Kumho and Toyo I would expect it to outperform the Toyo.
I have used Kumho touring tires on two different BMWs and I thought they were great for a mid priced tire.
Have the Kumho Ecsta, standard fitted here in the Netherlands. Have to say they are very silent and durable. Drove approx 37k km with them. Have also Continental Premiumcontact winter/snow tyres. Not bad too.
I literally just got these installed last week and I am really happy with them. Way better grip and quieter than the stock falken tires.
I had them on a car. Rode nice and quiet. Great rain traction. belt did end up breaking in one tire causing a tumor and another was starting to fail after 6 years.
I would say you could buy a few thousand large rubber bands and apply them to the wheel to make a better tire than these Kuhmos. Absolutely garbage tire. They transmit way too much vibration from the road to the steering wheel also.
I got KO2s because everyone raved about the "triple peak" snow performance. Both sets of mine sucked ass in the snow.
