A few of us this weekend ended up having the same conversation about the wranglers being discontinued. I noticed my brother-in-law is running those on their Toyota pickup, and he used to always run Michelins. So they take a well known tire with a good reputation out of production.

Nokian and Falken tires are pretty decent. Have Nokians on my girlfriends 05 Toyota Tundra and ran new Falkens on a 2001 Volvo V70 AWD wagon I bought with a bad transmission & brakes as a flip car. good all weather traction on both. The Nokians were as good on winter roads as my Bridgestone Blizzaks back in the 1990's.

I've never had good luck with Goodyear tires. Never ran a set or Wranglers on anything so I can't speak about them. They might be great tires.
I've had several sets of Goodyear tires on used car purchases. Wet weather traction was dismal.
My last experience was the set of Goodyear Eagles my '09 Impala SS came with from GM. Darn poor wet weather traction right from the get go. I have four Michelin Pilot A3 tires on it now.
