My Falken winter tires are better in the dry.
I used the 615k+ last summer they were great for multi purpose use. I did a few track days (6) and daily drove them all summer. Warm up is almost instant, they do fine in the wet. I'll be purchasing another set when track days pick up again.
I recently switched from LT Toyo at3s to "SL" Falken at4ws. IMO the xterra is not heavy enough for the LT tires, it rides and drives so much better with the lighter sidewalls of the falkens, as well as feeling more responsive from less rotating mass.
I have the LT version in that exact size. They are surprisingly great on bitumen with hardly any road noise which is great for your use case. Currently at 35k and no noticeable wear at all with mostly bitumen use. They seem like new.
The "replacement" for these is the Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT which is an excellent tire, basically the same as what you have with a few refinements.
I've had Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S tires on my 2019 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 since 2020, specifically because they weren't as aggressive and were severe snow rated. The Coopers did pretty good with this but they've been discontinued so I'm debating getting their replacement or switching to someone else.
I was in the same boat as the OP, and went with RT660s.
660 is good bang for the buck. Not as fast as the top tier tires but two or three times the lifespan.
cooper tires are great, firestones will ride like shit (i have all season firestones ._.)
I had Falkens as replacement tires on my 626. They lasted a disappointingly short while. Next tire shop said they’re infamous for being soft and wearing quickly.
