Tires NITTO or BFGoodrich
BFGoodrich all terrain tires have been my go to as we have them on our jeep right now (which we are not keeping much longer).
Nitto motivo 365. They're sticky while also being rally inspired with good tread ware so far. And they're "all weather" basically a more robust all season that just does a little better in dirt or snow while still being very much a street tire.
The 275/70/17 size shouldn’t rub with stock suspension, my bfg ko2’s never did and now I have ko3’s and they don’t.
I personally love my BFG tires, and have had a good experience with multiple sets.
I swapped over to the SL 285/70R17 Nitto Terra Grappler and my gas mileage isn’t being affected a whole lot. I managed to get back into the 20mpg range over a 400 mile highway loop I did.
I ended up going with the KO3 recently when my badlands tires wore down. They are noticeably better in the rain and taking quick turns without the backend slipping.
I'm running Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Look cool, great off road capability, tow well. Heavy as all hell, lost two mpg!
Reason I'm asking is I'm running Nitto NeoGens 280tw (205/50/15) on a fairly light, low horsepower car (D15B7 Del Sol). I've had alignments done, check my air pressure every other time I get gas (35psi) and I'm at the wear bars in 12k miles.
with the balancing issues on the KO3 I decided to switch it up this year.
BF Goodrich A/T are - IMO - dangerous on wet tarmac. Not bad, dangerous. I have 2 UAZ Hunter cars... On BFG during just 4kkm already had a few very bad slips in curves and a collision, when I could not stop the car in a traffic jam on 2nd gear (ABS grinding like on ice... In may!). Not to mention the previous owner slipped and hit a tree on these. Same cars, same driver. BFG are very bad on wet road and I mean real bad... Dangerous.
