I'm very pleased with my Nokian WR G4 SUV tires in 255/60-18 size. For towing, I went up in size to get an XL-rated tire instead of an SL-rated tire.

I love my Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3. Excellent traction, nice ride.

 

Just got a set of 4 online and will have my neighbor install once I wear OEM's down a bit more. All the research I did pointed me towards these.

 

I haven't had them yet but the Continental Cross Contact LX25 is in the league of the Cross Climates in the Tire Rack tests. It's better snow performance over the Firestones should help in Wisconsin. All tire questions usually come back to the Cross Climates though.

 

Falken Wildpeak AT Trail's and Michelin Cross Climate II's are both good tires to consider.

 

I have Wildpeak AT Trails and they are great tires. Slightly louder on the highway than the LE2s, but the better snow and off road performance was worth the trade off for my use. The Michelin Defender LTX MS is an excellent tire for all around use. There are plenty of threads on this forum about tire options and testimonials - I'd start with a search.

 

I have the Michelin Defenders. Love the ride.

 

Michelin Defenders here too. Loved the MTX L/S and sad they're not made in the OE size anymore. Defenders have been great so far in my moderate Indiana climate.

 

General Grabber HTS60. I have had them for about a month now and I like them better than the OEM.

 

If you're looking to stay with Firestone, I have the A/T2, which are quite good. Maybe just a tad noisier over OEM, but fuel economy is about the same, and they're a comfortable ride. Plus they're great for Wisconsin winters as the Ridgeline is a tank in a blizzard. Had them also on my previous vehicle, a 2014 Jeep Cherokee, and they worked great, and I was approaching almost 65k miles on that set, and they still had a few thousand miles I'd say.

 

I just replaced OEM Firestone destination at 44k miles. I had 3-4 32nds remaining, but cut a sidewall on a curb which forced the decision sooner than I wanted.

I did not want to change tire size from 245/60-18, but I did want better sidewall protection and AT tread for occasional rough access roads.
I bought Cooper destination road trail AT and am very satisfied. Handling is improved. Noise is noticeable only if I try to hear it. I think it is no worse or better.

 

Believe me you could do a lot worse than the LE2, plus because they are obsolute they are on sale most everywhere. I just bought 4 OTD for a hair over $600.00, and I have read on this forum some are getting 4 for a bit over $400.00.

 

WOW, you just got about 15 different answers, hope that helped you decide 😂😁🥴

 

Just like every other tire thread on every car forum.

 

Be nice to know more about what some tires are. If the owner is doing virtually all street miles and their sole off roading would be through their yard or the field at some county fair or the like, it would be nice to know what street tires would be recommended. I think that's what was asked for by the OP.

I know when I wear out the original tires I'll be looking at street tires, because I'm not off roading the vehicle. It is a daily driver and for towing trailers on occasions. That and the driving through the yard and the fields at county fairgrounds for flat track races and Mid Ohio's road races.

 

I have Ridgeline 2022 with 245-60/18
Think about nokian ANT 265 -60/18(114T) any suggestions ? I don't understand so much about tires . What 114T means?

 

Welcome to the forum - Valid B.C. poster

Those markings are the rating of the durability of the tires at a certain speed. Some tires are rated for higher speeds than others.
