Tires NITTO or Firestone

I have had the Winterforce ones for a couple years now. They seem to be good tires.

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.

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

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

Best tires I’ve ever owned. They’re expensive as shit here in New Zealand, if you can even find them, but they’re worth every penny.

Now thats out of the way, I know my truck is clean in pictures but these tires absolutely RIP in the mud/dirt/snow, no complaints off road. For a radial tire id say 10/10 off road.

The first 10-15k miles on these tires was very smooth and quiet surprisingly.

Neogens are amazing tires in the dry and solid in the wet, but if you push them in the rain like you do when it's not you're gunna have a bad time. I will say, they are \*soft\*, its like a 200 treadwear rating, if you do a lot of highway traveling you're probably not going to get a ton of life out of them.

I had Ridge Grapplers on a 2021, stock size on 20 inch wheels. They were quiet and good MPG. The Ridge Grapplers were sketchy on wet roads while the Defenders are lighter and make the truck feel 1k lighter.

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.

i'd pretty much replace all firestone tires with a better brand.
