Falken wild peaks/ rocky mountains seem to handle very well. I have a set of 275's and love them. Never had any traction issues or worries.

Wrangler SR-A = Stuck Relatively Anywhere
I wasn't a fan at all when they were on my WK and luckily they weren't on my JK long after I got it.

90,000 miles on 2 sets on my WK. No complaints. But, she's a pavement princess.

I never had any quality complaints for the SR-A's, even with after doing some trails with them. However, once they got about 20k miles on them, the snow traction dropped dramatically and I switched to Duratracs.

I'm thinking you never took the CR-V offroad either... Or if you did, you didn't abuse it as much as you would/will the Jeep. I'm thinking Nitto or some Kevlars for me! Kevlars have a 60-90 back order and have been told they are nearly indestructible!

My wife and I use to take her CR-V camping and were amazed at the places we took it.
we use to thrash that little thing and never got it stuck.
