Tire Recommendations

[Leeford]

The stock tires on my 21' OB are done. Only 30k (km) on them! I don't off road at all and looking into a quiet tire. I was looking at Cooper Endeavour Plus or Contiental Ultimate Contact. These two tire are at the same price point. Any suggestions on these tire or anything else, thanks.

What are you doing to your tires?

My 21 OB has been getting close to 60,000 miles on Michelin Primacy A/S OEM tires.

I now have over 184,000 miles total.

I'm not a Goodyear or Cooper fan at all. I am looking at Falken Wildpeak AT Trail or Nokian Outpost APT.

I have winters for the messy season, so all I want is a smooth three season tire.

Seems like I'm not he only one.

Not a huge fan of Goodyear. I had Coopers on my MINI, my mom’s Mazda CX-5, my wife got 80k miles on hers in an Edge. Big Cooper fan. However, after those 3 sets were installed, Goodyear bought Cooper, so it’s unknown territory now.

The longest lasting road tire might be Michelin Defender 2.

Long Time Nokian user, I would highly recommend the Nokian One tire; 130 000km tread life guarantee, quiet running tire with excellent dry and wet handling ratings. Great all purpose tire and adds to excellent fuel economy.

Just looked and they are on sale at Kal!

I recently put Michelin Primacy Tour on my ‘25 Outer Banks cuz I wanted wider than the OEM Primacy A/S. My goal was a “Tier 1” tire with low noise, comfort and fuel economy. Those features come at the expense of longevity compared to something like the Defender but I have winter tires on 5 months out of the year so I’m not concerned about that.

The Primacy Tour is a grand touring tire, the OEM version is not. They don’t even have the exact same tread.

I’ve been running them for over a month and am very happy with the features I chose them for. I went with a 245/60/18 which is also about an inch bigger in diameter so they fill up the wheel well a bit better too. No rubbing, no lift.

My second choice would have been Continental TrueContact Tour

I thought a 1.5 inch lift would look cool just for aesthetics but decided against any kind of lift after doing my homework. Some people have said it prematurely wore out bearings and caused issues with getting an alignment (some places won’t even do an alignment if it has an aftermarket lift). I bought 6 years of extended warranty and don’t want Ford denying claims for any issues that could arise that they determine to be caused by an aftermarket lift.

About to replace mine on a ‘23 Outer Banks driven in Fla & Ga. Leaning towards Pirelli Scorpion All Season (AS) Plus 3 for quiet on the highway, good hydroplaning rating, and maybe a bit more mileage than the Michelin AS Primacy. Anyone have thoughts or experiences with this tire?
