Tires Nexen or NITTO

I have been running the nitto ridge grapplers for the past 65k miles. They are, imo, not as loud as you would think and definitely have given me some amazing performance.they’ve only really gotten loud in that last few thousand miles when the tread was really worn down.

The best tire I have found is Nitto Grappler A/T. The set I’m on now has 77,000+ miles on them and I’m expecting to reach between 80 to 85.

I’ve had really good Nexens, both all weather/snow. Sound better than stock, good handling - esp the snow tires

Nitto (Toyo sister company) makes the Recon Grappler in some large SL rated sizes and they remain light at 40-50#s.

Picked up some Nexen Roadian GTXs that have served beautifully for about a year and a half and 24k miles. I’m a strong believer in middle of the pack tires. If you are going to go top notch, it’s Michelin or bust. Other than that, choose a decent tire for a middle of the road price.

I've had both Sailun and Nexen (2010 Audi A4 Avant) and had no issues, even with Autobahn driving.

Nexen vote for me. They've held up pretty well here in MA.

Ran these for 1.5 years had two flats. Still had good tread depth. One was a rock puncture which I have never had before. On my beater truck so I wheeled the piss out of them. Good in snow, ice, mud and sand. Bad on wet roads imo.

This is unfortunately common in my experience with Nitto. I ran Trail Grapplers that were cracked like that with still probably 2/3 tread left. Next set were Ridge Grapplers, they did the same at about 1/2 tread.

Nexen and Sailun are low tier tire brands - they are trying to suggest affordable tires already.
