Tires NITTO or SUMITOMO

Yeah driver mod, I try to never drive my car in the rain. I was perfectly fine on Nitto NT55G2.

Nitto Motivo 365 are a fair bit less than the CC2 and are an excellent all weather tire. I've had them on my Forester for a year now. On the Legacy, I used to swap between dedicated summer and winter tires, but the Nittos have been excellent, and I don't feel like I'm missing anything by not having snow 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.

I just got some Sumitomos replaced with about 40,000 mi on them which probably still had 20 to go and were still gripping great but just a little bit noisy. They are the parents company of Falken. They are a great brand as far as longevity and grip. I'm currently using Laufenn which are a sub brand of Hankook which cost me under $90 a corner and I am so pleased that I'm considering putting them on my second car. This mid-tier brand has been just as if not more pleasant in the realm of noise and on center road feel at speed than Michelin Defenders I had just a month ago on a car we sold. My Laufenns will probably have only half of the tread life of the Michelins I used to have, but at only half the price and the feel on the road is identical but I'm sure the performance is a little bit less. We do have close to bottom tier on a car that is new to us which is a Douglas brand and it'll be good for the next year but it is an unpleasant tire. It's loud and doesn't feel like it tracks well. But it does grip well enough to push the replacement date out a year since they were manufactured this year.

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.

Nitto G2s. I have em on my widebody

Second pair of Nitto A/Ts. Great off road, great longevity, smooth ride. Wet roads and wet boat ramps are deffinetly not their stong points. They do definnetly slip even on the slightest of wet weather so unfortunately I won't be buying another set.

I’m currently running Nitto Ridge grapplers 37x12.5x17 D-rated tires. I’m in need of a full set after about 30k miles. I do like the Nittos I am running, they are fairly quite and wheel great but I think a higher rated tire would help.

I had some Nitto 305 width’s on mine briefly after buying some secondhand rims that had them equipped, and it looked great but the ride was horrible and noisy.

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.
