Tires Nexen or NITTO

Looks good. I did 275/60/20 E Range Recons back in January and have about 5k on em. Only one issue was the past few weeks I had a slight leak that ended up being three very small punctures from some framing nails. Plugged em myself and haven’t had an issue in a week so we’ll see if I fixed it.

Still no appreciable road noise, and the only noticeable mpg drop is in the city going light to light. On flat hwy the mpgs went down maybe 1 mpg over 120 mi. I’ve aired em down and taken them out on the beach and they performed perfectly. They’ve been on some back mountain roads in WV and had much more traction than the stockers.

Now, with the E rated tires vs the stock Goodyears, I did notice that the rear spin a LOT easier in the rain.

I wanted more aggressive tires but didnt want LT tires. These only weigh 48lbs compared to the Hankooks at 42lbs. I drove over an hour home from Discount and they handle great and no more road noise than the Hancooks.

Nitto NT555 G2s call for 35 psi

I was Super curious about these tires because they look good and second was was the fact that the hybrid community was giving high praise to these tires. 1. They look great ???? 2. The efficiency is indeed high. I went from 3.7mi/kwh to a solid 4mi/kwh. I really like these tires now. The reviews were no joke. These tires have better "range" than the Michelin Energy Saver that they replaced. Some people look down on these "off-brand" tires as they want something more expensive and a name brand. These tires are just fine.

I had a set on a 2006 Mini Cooper sjcw 215 40 17s now the ride was harsh and stiff but let me tell you you hit a turn you'll come out of it with the biggest shit eating grin on your face you ever could think of. For the price I'd call it a best bang for your buck tire so since you got them drive them you'll see they're pretty good.

Last set of tires I bought were by Nexen.... pretty good tire, wore well.... got about 36k on them, will be due for new in the fall.

For what it's worth, I've loved the Nitto Neo-Gens. Have been flawless in the rain plus very quiet and decent adhesion all-around.

Hankook v12 are OK but are very low grip, and Nexen are GREAT for smoke but also start to shred in 10 mins.

I have the Ridge Grapplers. Got them because so many people online mentioned how quiet they are. Their definition of quiet differs greatly from mine. They will also get progressively louder as miles go by.

I got Nitto Ridge Grappler A/T tires right now and they do vibrate just like how my previous Goodyear Duratrac and Falken Wildpeak tires.
