Tires NITTO or Firestone

2018 explorer tire upgrade 265/50/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers

Beat bang for buck is the Firestone indy500 Firehawk. There is a reason they have a lot of hype around them

I'm extremely happy with my Firestone Destination X/T's in LT285/65R20E. They are quiet, good in the rain and very solid feeling even on my 1 Ton.

One of the TireRack reps suggested the Firestone WeatherGrip tire. He drives an Alltrack and said that tire is the best all season/winter mild tire, but not at lot of people buy it because they think is not a really all season.

I have a set of these, 6 years. Never a single issue. They are a little harder but nothing like what you would expect from the comments.

I’m replacing them tomorrow with a new set 6 years to the day from when I 1st put them on.

They are amazing tires. Hands down the best I have ever owned in 30 years of driving.

Nitto tires use a lot of the same tech as Toyo (who owns them) so you are just seeing a decent AT truck tire wearing like it should. All the no grip comments are funny this is a truck tire not a sport tire. Nitto has a winter line as well that is great and very inexpensive.

I put a set of Nittos on my F-150 and love them. It came with crappy all terrain tires that were noisy and didn’t handle well in the rain. The new tires are far more quiet, especially at interstate speeds, and have better grip when the weather isn’t cooperating.

I've had quiet winter tires, to winter tires that roared (Firestone Winterforce)

Looks like these are gonna be the top contender for my next set of tires. The Nitto Terra Grapplers I currently have are horrible in the rain.

I had the Nitto 420S on my Ram SRT-10. The tread virtually did not wear, but they had the worst wet traction I've ever experienced by the time they were 5 years old. They turned to rocks despite still having 90% tread. No rotting or cracks.
