Tires NITTO or Nokia
They do fairly well on other terrains as well such as wet/mud/rocky/sand with my only minor complaint is that they love to pick up pebbles which tend to make an annoying tapping noise as they rotate
I went with Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 -- they're decent.
Have had Hakkas on three prior vehicles as they've been my go to for years. Fantastic tires! Wanted them on the S3 but when I saw them in store I was shocked by the softness of the compound and was worried about treadwear.
Nokian Hakkapellitas if you've got the budget for them.
Blizzaks never failed me on my FWD Volvo V70 in the Rocky Mountains. Made it up Wolf Creek Pass in February through at least a foot of snow
I have Nokian WRG5s on mine. The first set lasted 89,000 km - right to what they were supposed to. The new ones are rated good until 100,000. I've only got about 15,000km on these ones so too early to tell but tread depth is good.
I am a Nito guy I love those tire I recommend the nitto ridge grappler very good highway tire but yet you still have some bite for off-road and overland
As for the ride, it is very quiet and more comfortable with the larger sidewall vs the 22. The road noise is about the same as the OEM, which is good as I moved to a more aggressive AT tread, which I expected to be louder. It is surprisingly quiet.
I put those tires on my R1T when it only had 15k and half the tread left, because the OEM are so damn noisy. I love them, completely. Much less noise, and a mild efficiency improvement.
I’ve posted this several times. I bought a set of rims that had used Nitto Grappler A/T tires on them. I got 50k before the wife run over something and cut one. I bought a new set and am at 80k plus now. Expecting many more.
I have 20" Ridge Grapplers on my 19' Grand Cherokee Limited Hemi. I'm around 25k miles now and it feels like when I'm in the highway around 50mph+ the front left tire seems... wobbly? Not sure if that's the correct term, but it feels like it isn't perfectly straight/weighted.
This is unfortunately common in my experience with Nitto. I ran Trail Grapplers that were cracked like that with still probably 2/3 tread left. Next set were Ridge Grapplers, they did the same at about 1/2 tread.
