Tires Falken or BFGoodrich

I just put a set of BFGoodrich Trail Terrain and love them so far

Good advice below, I have LTs with K02 but I would get C rated instead if I could get them in same setup I have, tire, rim, raised letters.

Less mass means more mpg on highway. Offroad the softer tires can feel softer too.

I recently switched from LT Toyo at3s to "SL" Falken at4ws. IMO the xterra is not heavy enough for the LT tires, it rides and drives so much better with the lighter sidewalls of the falkens, as well as feeling more responsive from less rotating mass.

I have the LT version in that exact size. They are surprisingly great on bitumen with hardly any road noise which is great for your use case. Currently at 35k and no noticeable wear at all with mostly bitumen use. They seem like new.

I was in the same boat as the OP, and went with RT660s.

660 is good bang for the buck. Not as fast as the top tier tires but two or three times the lifespan.

I went with fallen 615+ not the fastest but should last a good number of runs

My RT615K lasted like 8000 miles on a Honda Fit with 50:50 miles.

I’m getting rid of my Falken Wildpeaks after 6,000 miles of misery. These tires will not balance and I’ve had rotational noise issues at highways speeds.

Falken Ecorun ZE310s. Do not recommend whatsoever, it feels like driving on balloons. No steering feel, super delayed turn response, understeery, unpredictable, and far too much sidewall flex.
