Tires SUMITOMO or GENERAL TIRE
I also used to have a 2008 Nissan Frontier. I had General Grabber AT-Xs on that truck. Decently comfortable, good load rating (I used that truck for towing), rated for snow, and the tread was good for the light offroading I did. Although being an offroad tire with a somewhat aggressive tread, it was noisy at highway speeds. I didn't really mind, but others might.
The Generals on my car are worlds better than the Pirellis on it before.
The Pirelli P1s were so loud you couldn't have a conversation on the highway, so lacking in grip that a 150hp car could spin the tires in dry conditions. After I went sideways on some wet concrete, I replaced them with General Exclaim tires - their 'sporty' all seasons, all of $50 each from Walmart. It grips like a race car, is quiet and smooth, and tire life is close.
General is good. I have Evertrek GTs on my car, they seem to be a pretty good tire.
Check out Generals Altimax line of tires, I have them on my shitbox beater and they’ve been serving me well for 20,000 miles
I only put Generals on my Jetta and BMW. LOVE THE G-Max for price and handling.
I have the older version RT43's in my Lexus ES300 - they run really well but I will probably replace them in the next 2 years
I put General Altimax 365AW on my Volt and I love them. They are like winter level tires you can drive all year. They’re quiet and I didn’t notice an impact on the range.
Falken’s parent company sumitomo makes the encounter AT with similar performance for much cheaper, it’s what I’m running currently and they’re great
quite good in wet braking but lack a bit in comfort.
Currently have General Altimax RT43 on my 15 Limited. I probably won’t buy them again as they are noisey.
