Tires NITTO or SUMITOMO
I did 34s (275/65/20) Nitto G3s. Best upgrade without most of the cons. Better traction, better ride because pf more sidewall, no additional noise and just a 1-2mpg drop since they are very lightweight compared to other AT tires
I went slightly taller and narrower from stock 285/65/18 to 275/70/18 Nitto Terra Grappler G3 in SL load and they have been great. Low tire noise, low weight, more grip than factory wildpeaks, around the same gas mileage.
Sumitomo HTR A/S PO3s have been able to handle anything that comes our way.
We wore out the OEMs at 40k and picked up a set of Sumitomo P03 tires. Extremely happy with them. They're not strictly EV tires so there's some efficiency loss (maybe 5-10%?) but the car is much grippier, especially in wet and slushy conditions. Also, it's just way more comfortable of a ride. Kind of doubt they'll last through the manufacturer warranty of 50k miles but also it was just under $100/tire installed at DiscountTire so I'm not terribly concerned
I love my Nitto Ridge Grapplers and they come with 60+k mile warranty from Nitto. Smooth, quiet ride with them and I do a lot of highway driving and tow a 32’ boat ~3x a month.
Falken also makes several tires in that size. Falken are made by Sumitomo and excellent. My Sumitomos last at least 60k and are about $95-120.
For $70 I can buy Japanese made Sumitomos which have perfectly adequate grip in most conditions and long life, but they are quite loud due to the aggressive tread.
Nitto neo gen seem to be the chosen stretch tires right now. I've got them on my FRS, but only a 215 over a 9"
Decent performance, wet isn't the best. But I havnt had any excessive wear issues or bubbling at about -4° squared.
Sumitomo HTR A/S P01. I tried them on two different vehicles and they were downright dangerous in the wet and snow, even when brand new.
Yeah these are the worst tires I’ve ever owned. I’ve had mine for almost 3 years and notice this HS starting last year. I’m in Chicago area. Then.. last week i hit a pothole when it was pretty cold(that wasn’t even that bad of a pothole) that caused my side wall to tear. The durability on these tires is pathetic.
