Tires NITTO or BFGoodrich

Ran Ko2s on my last rig (xterra) and running ridge grapplers on my current (tundra). Ko2 handle great overall. Never had an issue with them except road noise. I find the Ridge Grapplers are great overall, except snow. They suck in the snow.

It comes wrapped with a new-ish set of Nitto Nomaf Grappler size 235/60-18 excellent for a Q3 or Q5 fitment. Nitto tires made in the USA and are mild A/T tires. Has 3PMSF certification. Only driven less than 3000 miles before deciding to go full 20” on my Q5.

I switched the Kumho Crugens that came with my 2022 Santa Cruz SEL nonturbo with activity to BF Goodrich Trail Terrain, still at 245/60r18 about 2 weeks ago. The Trail Terrain is a lot more quiet, in fact, I can hear the hum of the engine much clearer now. Great in mild snow and ice, never slipped. It also performed very well in the rain and a little puddle, no hydroplaning so far. Cornering is not at good as the Crugen and needed a bit of correction. The ride is almost as comfy as the Crugen, but I can feel the little road imperfections subtly. I averaged 26.8 mpg on the Crugen, the Trail Terrain set me back a dismal 23.9 mpg.

If you're only buying one set of all seasons year round then nitto neo gen are really good value.

I have bf Goodrich GeForce comp 2 and they are fantastic in the rain. Not sure if they sell a size to fit the stock wheel but 205 45 16 only rubs on hard corners downhill and it’s lowered in coilovers

I've got those same tires and I love them. I'll be getting another set of them when this set is through.

Yeah, keep rotating them and keep the alignment good. My BFG KO2s are holding up very well, having 40k miles on them.

They’ve always been great tires, wear well and have strong sidewalls, but they do sometimes not work great in wet conditions at slow speeds. For instance if you’re leaving a stop light you can easily break them loose. But at speed they have never failed me.

I'm severely disappointed in these tires. My parents put 255/65r18 nomad grapplers on their 2013 traverse 2LT. Not even 200 miles on these tires and a stick punctured one of them.

I’m seeing the same thing on mine, not to mention my side walls are cracking on one tire. I am at about 60,000 miles so there technically out of warranty but still the fact that I’m seeing dry, rot and cracks all over the place is ridiculous. I’m in Maryland, it’s not particularly hot. But overall pretty disappointed in the next set of tires isn’t gonna be Nitto.
