Hi All,
My stock tires are not looking that great anymore and after 44k miles it seems it’s time to look for new ones. Sadly the choice is overwhelming so I hope for some advice.
Currently I have goodyear wrangler all terrain adventure with Kevlar. Hard for me to judge them but they seem to have acceptable noise for me. The Kevlar seems to be bullshit as they had to be repaired twice (not after off-roading). Their snow performance seems to be underwhelming.
so what I am looking for
- all terrain, capable of mild off-roading. After getting through hurrah pass in Moab (I got tricked into it, long story…) I have now a bit of off-roading scare and probably won’t do anything serious. I do however drive from time to time on rougher roads, mild trials, forests, rocky trails where I cannot drop and die. But let’s be honest: 97% time spent will be on the road but I want to be able to go off it even if it costs me more money for little benefit… it’s kinda a must. A bit childish I know.
- I am ok with road noise similar to stock tires
- I would like them to be ok on the snow. Three peaks preferred. I live in Denver and we get snow in the mountains (and I do some winter hiking). I won’t have winter tires.
- the need to be safe on a highway. Probably 75% miles will be on some sort of motorway. Similar to stock is ok.
- I don’t care that much about the cost (however cocky it sounds) I am ok with spending $200-400 more than necessary for a better tire set which checks more boxes above
so generally it seems I am looking for something similar to stock ones… just better on the snow or just “better” overall.
thank you!
Ahhh size is 265/60r18 (stock)
