Tires NITTO or Firestone

Firestone Tires

I have ran Firestone Winterforce and Firestone Winterforce 2 on my RWD R/T Chargers since 2009 and have zero complaints.

Pros: zero complaints, aggressive tread
Cons: replace every 2-3 years

NITTO Tires

Compared to the continentals my initial impression is that the Motivo 365 grab in the dry snow, packed snow, and slush much better. I had one intersection that was a little messy and in similar situations my Contis were quick to lose traction but the Motivos grabbed really well.

Pros: grab in snow, grab in slush
Cons: lose traction if pushed

Firestone Tires

I went with Firestone destination at/2 in 235/65 r17. They are great and light weight! Only 4lbs more than stock tires.

Pros: great and light weight
Cons: 4lbs more than stock

I used to commute from Ithaca to Syracuse daily in a mk5 GLI. I had studded Firestone Winterforces on steel wheels. That car was an absolute beast in the snow and regularly outperformed 4x4’s.

Pros: absolute beast in snow

NITTO Tires

I was able to get Nitto Recon Grapplers 37x12.5r20 installed for $2030 out the door. Others in town were about $2400-$2800 for the same tires and install.

Pros: competitive pricing

Personally I stay away from the Firestone stuff. Hard compounds that aquaplane easily and still have worse rolling resistance than the premium tyres.

Cons: hard compounds, aquaplane easily, worse rolling resistance

Went to a Nitto Recon Grappler in 35x11.5. Very noticeable decrease in ride quality after the swap that didn't make the wifey super happy. 5k miles later (now closer to 20k) it became the new normal. That's the tradeoff going with a big 10 ply sidewall tire.

Cons: decreased ride quality
Mileage: 20000 km
