Vredestein Quatrac 3 SUV all seasons, with light snow ability on 18'' Alloys (235/50/18).
A winter tyre review on the Vredestein Quatrac 3 allseason
Michelin Latitude Alpin for winter on 16'' Alloys (215/65/16). Ideally, buy a 205/80/16 for increased ride height in winter Vs lower profile.

Now running GT Radial MaxMiler 195R15C front and back. They are commercial tyres for vans and light trucks designed for "heavy loads and long distances" - so hopefully should last a lot longer than the Wranglers that I have been running and are now discontinued here in NZ.
The speed limit here is 100KMH/60MPH and its kept to quite closely, so high speed capabilities are not really high on the importance list.
They're running at their recommended 40PSI and I haven't really noticed too much reduction in ride quality - definitely not bone crunching
They do make a bit of noise though at about 30MPH. Not a lot, just a small whine and it does appear to be reducing - or I'm getting used to it!
The tread is quite 'chunky' but I'm not sure how the 40PSI will work out on the icy ski field roads or the beach. Hopefully should be back to 4WD soon so will find out!

I use tires general grabber uhp 215-65-r16,very good from the point of view of fuel economy
I've just fitted 245/65/17's to my td4 FL1.
I had to persuade the inside of the front arches to make room (but only 1-2mm)
Slight rubbing at the rear on one side under hard cornering but it's just ticking the plastic arch lining so I will cut that away a little.
Overall I'm really happy with how it drives and the new higher stance and driving position.

I'll take some later and post them this evening.
Here a couple of other angles I have on my phone right now.
