Tires Vredestein or GENERAL TIRE
Happy with them so far, 1K miles in. Quiet, dry and wet grip for days, decent rolling resistance. Great for warm/hot climates.
Vredestein Wintrac Pro, Tire Rack sells them.
I just got a 24 mach-e and will be buying these, I live in Michigan. Had a set on my wife's Explorer and they were grest. Online reviews are great and they are also cheaper than all comparable competitors. Do your own research to be sure but I was very happy, so much so that I'm going to buy them again for my Mach-e. They are also rated as a performance tire.
I am on my second set of General Grabbers, and may go for another set. aggressive tread, quiet on the road, and last forever.
I got a set of 155 R15 Vredstein Sprint Classics by mail order when they were on offer for about £50 a corner, then got them fitted locally - have been great tyres for my '72 1300.
The rugged-looking alloy wheels of the prototype, shod in General Grabber A/T Sport tires (275/60R18), sound like a fitting choice for the production model.
I have been using this specific tire below for almost 20 years. Had my 2006 for 11 years and now my 2017. They have great wet road handling. Excellent tread wear. I get about 70K miles a set. Not sure what your price range is but don't skimp on tires, especially on a truck. You want that wet road grip.
Update 6 months later: I haven't gotten a chance to test them in snow despite getting them in January. It was a very mild winter. But I noticed immediately how much better they handled in the rain. Compared to those these made a real difference and I felt safer. I don't notice any more noise with these.
Basically, both are pretty good tires and at an equal price or a little bit more, I'd take the Generals...
The XC70 had Vredesteins when we bought it and they were ok. We got about 35k miles out of them.
My mother had a set of Generals on her MKZ. They never felt great, always had weird squirming, noise and vibration issues. They wore out fast, especially the shoulders due to constantly operating under inflated due to always losing air fast.
