Tires Nexen or Falken

96% as good as pilot sports but $100 ea less.

FWIW, I have the Nexen AT Pro RA8 on my truck because my size for the Cooper's was backordered at the time and after 2 years I don't regret my purchase at all and will likely get Nexen truck tires again

Very few manufacturers have a solid warranty that is actually usable in this regard, however one of the best warranties in the industry is from Nexen.

Falken AT4W on my Jeep. Highly recommend them for your Jeep

The Nexens on my 70’ Beetle work great. No need to pay more.

They were absolutely excellent rear tires for a RWD with a lot of power in a snowy climate with a jumpy driver. Zero issues with slippage, balance, wear pattern, etc. since installed in December. 10k miles later and I found them flat with a hole in my parking lot at work, and a plug would not hold, big bummer.

If I'm going to be out in off road or real snowy conditions I want my wildpeaks. It's not as good on the road as the defenders but it's reasonably close.

I got about 26,000 miles from the Nexen.

I started sliding sideways when taking off from the lights in the rain. The very next opportunity I had Pilot Sport 4 on and never looked back.

I drive a base model work truck. It’s $375 each for some falken at discount tires.
