Tires NITTO or GENERAL TIRE

I have Cross Climates on my CX 5 and

Falken Wildpeaks on Crosstrek,General Altimax on my Ford Escape and Goodyear Workhorse on my truck.

General or Kumho are what I've used on my w123s. Both worked fine and were relatively cheap.

I love every set of nittos I’ve owned

Was at this overlanding event once and a guy was drilling into his Nitto spare to demonstrate how to plug.  He was getting a workout in somewhat cold weather trying to *drill* into his Nitto.

I ran the Nittos on my Gladiator from day 1 to about 28k miles. Great tire, never had any issues or punctures. Survived Rubicon and the 7 hour drive back immediately after. Not the greatest in snow, but I've had worse in the past on other vehicles, lower air pressure can help this.

Of those are the only two tires your considering, then Nittos hands down. I ran one pair of KO2s… that was the first and last time I’ll run BFGs. Never had an issue with Nittos.

Nitto in load range E. I have probably 350k miles on multiple sets and never had a flat and I've been from the Arctic ocean to Mexico and everywhere between. Damn near bullet proof.

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.

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.

Also these Nittos suck lol
