Future tire upgrade for the Tucson

[Joey83]

I will probably be upgrading from street tires to A/T sometime later this year, I was wondering what the best type of tire would be for 90% pavement driving.

I plan on using a 215/65-16 size (although I do have the option of using 235/60-16 if I want) and I want a tire that will last as long as possible.

Lifting my car is not an option as there are no liftkits available for it (airride is not an option).

What would be the right tire choice for 215/65-16's?

Toyo Open Country A/T+?

General Grabber A/T?

General Grabber A/T2?

BF Goodrich KO2?

Also, how wide of a wheel do I need for a 215 or a 235 tire?

No idea if they make it in that size, but I was looking at Yokohama Geolander AT-S tires. Also have mud+snow if I recall correctly.. something you kinda need in Norway I guess? :P
But I'm kinda biased as I can get Yoko's for cheaper but still.. seemed like a good choice.

But if I manage to get the cruiser that I want it has BF Goodrich AT tires already (don't ask me what tires, didn't see).

My .02 I have had really good luck with Cooper Discovery ATP on my full size. I have been researching Goodyear Duratracs and The general Grabber X3 tires also they have good reputations.

Goodyear Duratracs are amazing in the snow. However, I would think that living in Norway, you probably have studded tires for winter and regular all terrains for the spring summer fall?

I need wintertires here in Norway, even though it rarely snows here.

I don't actually need studded tires in the winter where I live as there is almost never any snow here (and even if we do get snow, it's only 1/4" at most), as for summertires, normal street tires are fine.

I've just invested in 5 wheels and they will have their boots fitted next Monday. after quite a bit of investigation I have chosen BF Goodrich All Terrain. I was going to opt for the BF Goodrich Mud Terrain but changed my mind at the last minute.
