Tires Hankook or Falken

These used to be go-to tires for the off-season. Great value and grip. I also like them better than the PS4s.

The Ventus V12’s came new on my CPO. I can’t compare them to the OEM Michelin’s, but can tell you that they grip very well! ????

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 had a set of Dynapro ATMs on my 2nd gen for several years. They had a 3PMSF rating and worked great in the snow while the tread was still deep (traction obviously degraded as they aged).

Caveat: They were the aftermarket versions. I'm unsure if they're the exact same quality as the OEM tires.

Ok, this is the first time doing some snow driving on the Pro4x with the hankook. I must admit the tires handle snow very well! I thought about airing them down but decided not to. The tires felt really good, and I drove with no issues. They do suck in the rain, but in the snow they handle well.

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

Hankooks handle snow and ice pretty well. But the compromise is they seem to be a very soft tire. I am lucky to get 32k of miles out of them. (They claim to be a 60k tire)

my wife hates the tires .the m+s is horrible in the snow.

There is a chance they worked better in very hot climate but in the mild Pacific North West they didn’t perform well. Half the performance for half price. Once I switched to Michelins all traction problems went away.
