Hello,
Currently shopping for new tires for my 2013 Ridgeline, size 245/60 18”. Came stock with Hankook Dynapro HP2. While decently quiet and they seem to have low rolling resistance, their wet traction is terrible. As a little background, I do run a dedicated set of winter tires (Nokian Hakka R2) when the time calls for it.
I’m looking at a few different tire choices. First up is the highway all season truck tire, the General Grabber HTS 60, Michelin Defender LTX M/S or Cooper Discoverer HT Plus. In the crossover/touring the Pirelli Scorpion Verde all season plus or Nokian Entyre C/S. In the AT category the newer Continental Terrrain Contact AT, normally I would not consider an AT tire as the most I drive on is state maintained dirt roads and some very limited secondary roads not maintained by the state, but the Continental says it’s for people who drive 90% on road and 10% off.
What I am looking for is a quiet tire, with lower rolling resistance that can also extend my running of them if need be into the winter. What I mean by that is something with some decent winter traction, I just took of my Nokians because here in PA we will have had over two weeks of above average temps directly after two decent snowfalls, I just didn’t want to wear down my Hakkas on my daily commute when it’s 50-70 degrees out during the day. But we still sometimes get snow in March, and I’d like to have something that can be run 3 1/2 season maybe..
