The Latitude Tour HPs suck. That is what came on my '23 Porsche Macan S, and they are awful on that car. They are Porsche-spec Latitudes, so they have slightly increased grip levels, but overall they completely suck. I'm purposely wearing them down as fast as I can so I can swap in some Continental DWS06+ UHP all-seasons.

If you want a all-season and plan to stay mostly on-road, just stick with the factory Goodyear Wrangler Adventure off-road tire. They are not proper all-terrains; they are a slightly more hardcore all-season. They are extremely quiet, they do ride well and they don't decrease your fuel economy. Plus they fit the look of the vehicle more than a standard all-season.

Thanks for the feedback on the Latitudes! My Defender came with Pirelli Scorpions. They’ve been pretty good, but a little on the loud side as they wear. I’ll check out the Goodyears.

Haven't tested in snow yet, but there is much more siping than the Pirellis so I'm confident that they'll perform well. I considered the Nokia Hakka R5s for winter duty, but didn't want to deal with a second set of wheels.
any rubbing? I need to replace my latitudes and am thinking these will do well… not sure if I need to do 255 or 275… 110 came with 255/60r20, but now I will have spacer to make them more flush…

No rubbing at all, and I’m running 20mm spacers front / 25mm rear.

Music to my ears. I plan to have 20 front and already have 30 in rear.
