Hi everyone,
I thought I was in good shape with tires on my Nissan Certified Pre-owned 2012 Xterra Pro-4X as I bought the vehicle with 17k miles and ~6.5/32s left on the OEM BFGoodrich Rugged Trail T/As. I know a lot of people don't care for them, but I was hoping to at least get a feel for them before replacing them.
Sure enough, I was taking the wheels off to clean them and install a locking lug on Sunday and found a nail through one of the tread blocks and out into the upper sidewall on the inside. I have to believe the dealer knew about it but didn't want to fix it, since I was able to negotiate $800 off for new tires (since the OEMs have some cracking due to over-inflation). Oh well, I guess it's water under the bridge now since it has ~50 miles on it since I picked it up 2 weeks ago.
Anyway, the tires that I'm looking at are (all in the stock size):
General Grabber AT2
BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2s
Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure with Kevlar (E Load Rating)
Hankook Dynapro ATM
I have never taken any of my vehicles offroading and don't really plan to, but I tend to like the more aggressive tread due to the better performance in the snow. I'd preferrably like to keep the stock ride quality and tire noise about the same as I'll primarily be putting highway miles on the car (probably about 30k per year) so tread life is also pretty important.
Which tires would you recommend?
Thanks!
