2006 Lr3 tire replacement

[Bean]

Need new tires for Lr3. Three season as have good snow tires. Tires so far recommended; Bridgestone Alenza, Michelin Latitude, Toyo Open country and Continental 4x4. All pretty close in price. Need to be V rated, and most important quality good in wet conditions (Vancouver, BC) 90% Highway-10% off road. Any experience or suggestions welcomed. Thanks

Try looking at the Goodyear Silent Armor. Tire is rated as a Winter tire with the "mountain snowflake" symbol. Warrentied life is 50,000 mi and the tires are great handling in the rain and pretty quite. I have gotten them off road a couple of times. No complaints on gravel roads, packed earth and rock. Did ok in deep snow, although I would have preferred a more pronounced lug. On my old truck I had the Bridgestone KO's and these are more compliant on the highway and less noisy. The Goodyear’s are 11 pounds lighter per tire, so this should affect braking and turning, although I don't think these are as resilient to rigors of off road. Considering the usage, 90% around town, 5% running up the mountain to ski and 5% in the woods I would buy these again.
Good tire for the pacific northwest.
