Spring will soon be here,or so I keep telling myself. When it does, the wifes vehicle will need some new tires as her summer tires are pretty well done for. I had some Kelly Edge on it for a couple years, rode and handled fine but wore out quick and got a flat on the dirt roads last year. It's an 07 Suzuki Grand Vitara,so not a big heavy vehicle.
I like to use it to beat around the back roads and grazing reserves in the summer, no heavy offloading but a little extra mud traction and puncture resistance is helpful. But, I also need them to be fairly quiet and well mannered on the highway,as that's where it spends most of it's time. Was kinda browsing around the web, and a few that looked interesting were Yokohama Geolander A/T, Pirelli Scorpion A/T Plus, and Maxxis Bravo AT-771. Any suggestions for a small SUV tire that fits the bill? Stock size is 225/65R17.

Looking at that one too,just unsure of how it would handle some of the 'gravel' they like to use on the roads here...stuff could be used to build a house!

I have always had good luck with the Michelin LTD M&S series. Used them on Suburbans, Honda Pilot, Tundra and F150s.
They have worked well for me in snow, mud and do very well on gravel roads. I find they “track” very well on gravel roads.
In the wiinter I use the LTX winter or Ice whatever it’s called.
I haven’t checked to see if they come in the size you need.

Last set of Geolander AT's I ran on a '99 4Runner went 80K hard, hard miles.
Cooper's AT's are just as good IME.
Trump being classless,tasteless and clueless as usual. Sorry, trump is a no tax payin pile of shiit. My young wife decided to play the field and had moved several dudes into my house
