Tires YOKOHAMA or Maxxis

I ran a maxxcross on both front and rear - rear first, before I upgraded to a 16" + shinko 525. Its not a bad tire at all, and if you're looking to keep the weight down on the stock rim then I say its a good choice.

I’m 1 month in on my first set of Geolandar AT’s and have had snow up in northern AB for a couple of weeks. Initial observations: love them! They are quieter than either the KO2 or Duratrac. I haven’t noticed any improvement in fuel economy. On snow and ice covered roads though, my early observation is they outperform the other tires I’ve used. All in all, they are meeting my relatively high expectations for them so far.

I had the Geolandars on my 4wd Tacoma when I lived in Alaska. I never got snow tires during winter because I thought I’d be good enough with the Geos. They worked well enough for me, although a couple of times I did slip. Nothing major. I just ended up using my brakes further away from my intended stopping point. In the rain they worked great, never had an issue. Versatile tire without the price point of BFG. Also, the ride on dry highways wasn’t loud and obnoxious, smooth ride imo.

Blizzaks are probably the best but I've heard they can wear fast. The Yokohama iceguard worked well for me as well.

Yoko N905 served me wonderfully in the Italian alps. Have a small fwd turbo A1. Got up some mountain passes where big 4x4s struggled without chains

Have a 2022 Outback and the oem Yokohama tires were junk after 37k. Went with Yokohama avid ascend. Grips great in pouring rain, very quiet even with a window partially open and no noise interference on Bluetooth.

I have always found Yokohamas to be good. I find the A drive to be good grip, very durable and reasonably priced.

I've put Yokohama G015 all-terrains on Subaru AWD wagon for similar duties before.

I'm on my second set of maxxis and they're good for intermediate to hard stuff. If it's slippery out and I need to do a steep hill climb using momentum it's almost impossible, but I've never experienced a better softer tire yet so can't compare to anything else.

Soooo yes and no. I live in Fairbanks, AK and they honestly did pretty decent for deep snow HOWEVER once it went -40°F and that snow slowly turned into hardpack I instantly swapped them out for Falken AT Trails. Although not as good as a dedicated winter tire they did WAYYYY better than the Avid GTs which almost lead me into a few close calls since THEY HAD ABSOLUTELY 0 TRACTION
