2022 Timberline Stock Tire Issues - Recommendation For New Tire Type?

Interesting that you should say that, since the Wrangler SR-A's on my 011 have over 75k on them (mixed use) and still have a good bit of tread left and only 1 developed a vey slow leak, which I corrected with Fix-A-Flat 2 years ago, notttaproblemo since then...

the 18" OE Wranglers I have are from an F150 'appearance package', are the GOODYEAR WRANGLER TERRITORY AT. Classic 'cheap OE sorta-all-terrain' tires. they don't have very good traction, even dry pavement.

I'm thinking about trying the Continental TerrainContact AT tire next time. Tread looks more highway oriented but the sidewall appears decently aggressive looking. I've been really happy with the Toyo AT3 I have on my F150 though, seem better in the rain than the KOs

Ours is not a Timberline, but we went with Continental Terrain Contact AT on our Expedition. Semi-aggressive tread but no road noise and long tread life warranty. Probably overkill for the desert, but doing some road tripping to CO later this month

I've had Terrain Contacts since Dec 2021 and I've been very happy with them. I have lift and 315/70R17's, but 98% of my driving is on the road, so I focused my search on a tread that would be good in Florida's rains. These have not disappointed.

My 2007 expedition el came with scorpion tires. I have replace them once . I have been happy with them and I have 125k miles on the vehicle and luckly never have had a flat tire with those tires.

Michelin Cross Contact II, Copper ATS3, Pirelli Weather Active

With quite a bit of research these were one of the tires I was seriously considering in the 275/50r22 size, but ended up going with Yokohama A/T G015 in the 285/50 size because of the price I found. (prefer smaller wheels with taller tires, but not in the budget righ now). Similiar to the Cont Tarrain Contact A/T, these are not a real agressive A/T, and with 90%+ driving on roads/hwy I didn't want an agressive A/T tire. Only have a couple of hundred miles on them so far so too early to give much of a review, other than they ride very well, especially for an E rated 3 ply sidewall tire, and are nearly as quiet as the GoodYear Tour tires that were on it.
