Replacement Tires

[Jim657]

I’m wondering if anyone has opinions on tires. I’ll need to replace my original Hankooks soon, as I’ve got 65,000 km on them. These are the tires I’m considering. Keep in mind, I don’t go off-roading; the vehicle is only used on paved or dirt roads, and I prefer a smooth and quiet ride. My first choice is the Michelin Defender LTX, but apparently, they’re out of stock in Canada with no ETA. The fourth option is what the truck originally came with. I want a tire with the same or a higher load and speed rating.
•Options:
1.Michelin Defender LTX
2.Toyo Open Country A/T III EV
3.Bridgestone Ultra Alenza
4.Hankook Dynapro A/T2
My Lightning is a 2023 Lariat an extended range

I just checked KalTire here on the West Coast and they say contact us but
they seem to have them or can get them. You're in Ontario but sounds like they might be available.

Everything I hear is that LTX are great tires if a bit expensive.

Personally, I'll never buy Michelin again.

The general grabber hts that came with my 23 Lariat were great on road, nice and smooth.

If you're concerned about weight rating, you can always go with LT tires.

There are tons of options available.

I did a ton of research on Consumer Reports and Tire Rack and chose Cooper Discoverer Road-Trail. 500 miles and I’m impressed. Even though they are more aggressive than the OEM, they are noiseless. Wet and dry traction are very good. I’m hoping it snows again soon so I can see how they perform in it.
