After doing a little research and two bad experiences on snow/ice with the stock tires, I pulled the trigger on 265/65/18 Wildpeaks (5 tires for just under $900 at American Tire Depot). Rims are the 18" F-sport that came on the GX, so can't vouch for how these would fit on the other rims. I had one instance of rubbing after installing these while getting into a tight parking spot. Took the heat gun to the known fender-liner bolt and pushed it in and didn't have any issues rubbing after. So far I have put about 800 miles, maybe more on them, including a couple road trips up to Mammoth Lakes and some use in snow and ice. The braking performance in snow is much, much better than the stock tires, which I had found to be close to useless. I chose the Falkens partly for the user ratings on snow and ice, and so far am happy with the choice. Road noise isn't bad at all - my wife who is pretty sensitive to that kind of thing feels they don't add any noise. That said, on some of the stretches of US395 that might be a more aggregate surface, I can hear them a little. On the interstate and roads around San Diego though, they are not noticeably noisy compared to stock from what I can tell. These will get some off road use next month in Anza Borrego, so I will update if I have anything to add.
