I have the LE2's on my 2001 Blazer. I like the dry, wet and snow traction. It's fairly quiet also. It does almost everything well but I am not happy with the wear. I am around 40k with this tire and maybe I can stretch it out to 50k. I was expecting 70k......that said, I'll probably replace with the LE3's because they perform in every other category

I just bought 5 Crosswind M/T tires for the tracker. 215/75R15. Real directional mud tires. Ride nice an aren't to loud. Cost around $120 a tire delivered.
There is still one hard fact on tires. None will give you it all. The higher the wear mileage the more you will give up in performance.
Ultra high performance tires are generally the best In all categories but the worst in tread wear rating.
Grand touring all season tires tend to give the best combination of what most people want but tend to cost a little more.
Currently the all season tires with the snow on mountain rating seem to be taking over the market. First it was Michelin cross climate and now pirelli Bridgestone and Firestone all have entries in that field. People are also getting good mileage out of the cross climates. They seem to be the closest ever to a all in one tire
Purchased Nokian One tires for a 2008 Outback 3.0R [3 liter flat six with VTD drive system). We tried them before to re[lace some Michelin Primacy and found them as good or better, at lower cost. Now made at their plant in Dayton, TN.
Put them on JDM BBS forged alloys. They weigh 15.9 lbs each versus 23 for OEM rims.

Just replaced original equipment Firestone AT20 on a 2012 Tacoma access cab 2wd with 21K original miles with severe dry rot and cracking with Cooper Endeavor 215/70/R15 purchased from Tire Rack last month. They had $80 instant rebate vs. $50 submission rebate now so was more than happy with that offering. 3 tires had DOT codes within 2 months mfg before shipping and 1 was about 1 year old+ and made in Mexico. Nothing unusual with mounting or balancing with the highest of 1.25oz on one tire on one side. Best was 0.25oz. Only went up the street and no issues. Purchased as a budget replacement tire for a budget vehicle.
Two Carslile 23-11-10 AT2 six ply @ $180 Cdn each for a 2011 JD X 320.
Fronts are 18-7.50-8 turf something I bought last year. Tires age and weather out and won’t hold air long before they wear out.
