Tires NITTO or SUMITOMO
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 run them on my fit that lives in one of the wettest areas of PNW and so far they have been great. Dry performance is phenomenal for the price point.
I bought new Nittos and custom wheels that were about 1-1/2” bigger diameter. Each step looked better, and it looks really great now - except now its a little over-the-top, and my mileage is kind of terrible.
I learned this for myself a long time ago when I had decided to go cheap for once and get some Sumitomo. I could feel the car's handling characteristics changed immediately (it felt like the back was "gliding" in the turns leaving the parking lot, which was probably sidewall flex).
Mine look even worse than this and same thing. Rotated when needed and also live in NJ. No doubt the worst tires I’ve ever had on my truck. Absolutely suck in wet conditions and as they wear they get insanely loud
