Tires Kumho or Cooper
Get whatever is a good deal on Blackcircles or similar for name brand tyres, I like the sort of Avon/Yokohama/Kumho end of the market, find something with good wet grip and noise ratings.
Pep Boys has a relatively cheap Cooper tire exclusive to them. They last forever. Definitely touring tires, they're made to last and to be ideal in all conditions. I'll go back to the Cooper Adventurers next round of tires and probably here on out, highly recommended.
I have Kumho Crugen on my 4runner. But I am very happy with these tires. No road noise at all.
For as much time as you spend on the freeway I would 100% go with the Discoverer AT3s! Such a dope tire! Superb road manners, ultra quiet, and awesome capabilities when you push them!
Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S! Went from KO2’s to these and it’s a night and day difference in terms of handling, smoothness, MPG, and most important (for me)- cold/ wet weather performance!
I am a big fan of Cooper discoverer tires. Currently running the rugged trek in 275/65 R20 on my 1500 AT4. Quieter than the Goodyears that came with the truck.
Went with the 730s all around this year, much much happier.
6months and 15k miles into a set of these on a ford escape. They're quiet and wearing well so far. Not as quiet as Goodyear which is the same price but still a quiet tire.
Khumu Solus: 60,000 mile tread warranty. About $115/tire. Hard to tell on efficiency because it also got super cold right after I installed them, but they seem fine, and for the price and tread warranty, I will take a minor efficiency hit.
My experience with the Cooper AT3:
2011 Land Rover LR4. I Put about 50k miles on the set in 2 years. No punctures.
* Excellent on road manners
* Quiet, smooth.
* Even tread ware
* AWFUL (I.E. not safe) Snow and ice performance
* Poor mud traction, poor gravel traction, mehh wet traction.
