Tires NITTO or Cooper
Hands down the Cooper Cobra Instinct out of those listed.
I have a 2017 cx5 gt. I live in Pennsylvania with horrible roads, so I went with cooper discoverer enduramax, and I love them. Performed great in the two snow storms so far.
The cooper tires, just had them installed on my work van, good traction, no noise
Incredible in mud and snow. I have them on an f350 dually. It will literally go anywhere on the jobsite. I also put them on my personal f150 I was so impressed. I've plowed through 3' snow drifts with ease.
Coopers are good tires if you rotate them they literally last forever. I’ve managed to get 80-100,000 good kms out of the discoverer stt pro and st max. Ran AT3s as well and got even more as you don’t really have big lugs to lose anyway.
Nitto Terra Grapplers. Horrible in the rain is an understatement. They wore pretty fast as well.
I'm running Wildpeak AT4Ws now and they've great so far. Haven't had any problems on wet roads, handled the foot of snow and ice my area got recently just fine. Pretty decent off road as well.
Put them on my AWD Subaru Assent and with around 8K miles had a 10 inch snow with 12 inch drifts and I drove it in a remote field of snow a good distance and down a remote gravel and paved road with that amount of snow and it was a beast! These tires are quiet and handle really well on my 165 round trip daily commute to work, especially when it's raining....
I got 50,000 on a set of these and never rotated them. They were howling pretty bad because of it, and totally my fault. I went in to replace them and the tire shop said I had plenty of tread to go farther, I just couldn't stand the howl anymore.
I’m seeing the same thing on mine, not to mention my side walls are cracking on one tire. I am at about 60,000 miles so there technically out of warranty but still the fact that I’m seeing dry, rot and cracks all over the place is ridiculous. I’m in Maryland, it’s not particularly hot. But overall pretty disappointed in the next set of tires isn’t gonna be Nitto.
With 2 sets of Ridge Grapplers, I always had one that the tire shop never could balance. Plus they aren’t any quieter than a mud terrain.
