Tires NITTO or Vredestein

I only run Nitto now. BFG let me\nDown a few too many times. That said, ridge grapplers are on two of my cruisers and the newer Terra g3 on the LX. Both perform great in heavy rain, on/off road, rock, mud, etc.

I went with vredestein. Vredestein feels better to me, I do wish I had done for blizzaks because they're just so damn good, but my generations survived being put on the wrong damn direction for an entire season and there is no universe where I have problems in the snow. They were a great budget buy while still maintaining sport sidewalls and handling. 9/10 for me could be better dry grip but hey that's winter tires

The only two tires I’ve found that fulfill my requirements are the Vredestein Pinza AT.

Wow, nobody is rocking the Vredstein Wintrac Pro. Considered a performance winter tire. I like them. Tire is quiet compared to the Blizzak’s. Winter performance is good. Haven’t gotten stuck. Love ripping it up in the snow.

We installed the Vredesteins on my son's Fusion, and they're awesome. He drove through near blizzard conditions in the UP without any problems last winter.

I have Nitto Nomad Grapplers on mine and really like them.

They are good just make sure you use them up in a few years since they start to show aging quite early compared to many other brands

They had good reviews so I put them on my old car. First I had a problem with bulking on one of them within a year. After that the rest of them showed a severe dryrot after only 3 years and only like 20k km. I sold the car, but would not expect them to be more than 4 years before dryrotted away. I will never get them again, even though I have fairly good experience from the farming world.

I changed my OEM Nitto Terra\u2019s that came on my Pro out last week for Baja Boss AT\u2019s after only 15K miles. They were scary dangerous on wet roads.
