I too have the Pirelli tires. The only complaint I have so far is that they're noisy. Handle well in everything, no winter driving yet. I've had hankook, khumo and Goodyear rsa. Hankook were extremely loud. Goodyears got around 18,000 and were bald. Khumos around 25,000. Hankooks wore great but one blew out and they quit making the model (the model was ventus something) so I bought a new set of pirellis from tire rack for $900. Pirellis have around 6,000 on them and seem to be wearing well, handle well but sorta noisy.

 

I was happy with the OE Forteras so last spring I put another 4 on before heading north. All in spent about $500 versus over $1,000 for Michelins. Middle of the road on noise and handling, and the old tires handled a major snowstorm in Syracuse, NY on the way down. OTOH, they have a habit of picking up nails, including the new ones, 6 in 3 years & 50,000 miles.

 

I bought mine with 23,000 miles and the Forteras were evenly wearing with about 4/32s....and they were hard and noisy.
Now at 34,000 they're harder and noisier, and won't pass inspection due now. Goodyear Center quoted me $700 installed for Forteras ($175 each), I'm definitely looking to spend a little more for a nicer ride.

 

OR, I go all out and get a set of Durnago 2014/2015 All Black Rim Takeoffs from Ebay, about $1500....with new Forteras.

 

Currently has Falken Ziex S/TZ 04's

It's clear they were never rotated and make a ton of noise. The slip like crazy in the rain.

My regular tire shop has suggested Goodyear Fortera HL's.

I know they are mentioned, but not sure they are the same.

Anyone have experience to share?

Thanks

 

Second on the Yokohama Geolander ATS's. I put the on after the factory Michelins. I have an AWD V-6 and have had zero issues in snow and light mud. I love the ride, they are quiet, and after 15,000 miles, they are wearing very slowly. The only downside is that the gas mileage dropped about 2 mpg. But, going from a LRR to an all terrain will do that.

I had a set of Nitto AT's on a truck. They were fine in the snow and light mud, but the tread wore quickly.

 

I haven't seen an mpg drop with the Yokohama GO55.

 

The GO55 is a very different tire than the A/T-S. The GO55 is made more for highway driving in a crossover/SUV. The A/T-S is an all-terrain for not so much highway in an SUV/Truck/Jeep. The A/T-S has a more aggressive tread and lower tread life than the GO55.

 

simpletire.com Yohohama Parada spec x $98 shipping $18 have a local shop install

 

That's cheap. Tirerack.com has them for $131 on closeout, which is still cheap for a 20 inch tire. The Parada Spec-X's also have pretty good reviews and specs on Tirerack.
