Not a great first post, as I've done a ton of reading about the AT tire choices, but wanted to explain my situation and get some recommendations.
I'll be picking up my 2018 Outback 3.6R Limited in the next few weeks, and have a set of Rota Recce 17x8 wheels ready to go. Ultimately I will be getting a set of winter tires for the OEM wheels when the time comes, so I wanted to get some decent AT tires for daily use. Obviously I'll take a slight hit on fuel economy, but here are the facts:
- I daily drive the vehicle
- Road trips
- Occasional off road (not real off roading/rock crawling, more like farm roads)
- I'm a sucker for the way aggressive AT tires look on the Outback
- BFG KO2's seem like a bit of a stretch due to their weight and bulkyness, and don't seem to make sense for my situation
- Have been considering Falken Wildpeak's, Geolanders (not as aggressive looking), and a few others.
Open to recommendations and feedback. Ultimately it seems that I want the look of an AT tire, but not the performance hinderance, which I'm not sure is possible.
Any advise is much appreciated!
