I put Falken Aklimates on my X3 6months ago and haven’t had any issues. Smoother ride that the Michelin’s I had. These are all-weather and good for light to medium snow. I’ve used Pirellis, Falken, Michelin, Continental etc and these handle as good or better. Benefits are that I don’t need to change from all seasons to winter now.
Have the Wildpeak AT3W on my half ton truck for driving year round. Alberta winter conditions included. Quiet, excellent traction, good tread life. Priced competitively as a bonus. I’d be silly not to buy these again.
To answer OP question, probably BF Goodrich Rugged Trail TA. Didn’t last and developed cracks prematurely. Also Toyo Open Country C/T are noisy as hell.
Ran Wildpeak A/T on my 2012 Wrangler. Absolutely loved them. Rode great, great traction, very little road noise. Put almost 55K on them before trading the Wrangler in on a new truck.
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.
2 years in with these tires on stock 19’ rims. Live in Chicago. Great in snow / rain. Noticeable tire drone still like them. Sounds like a bad wheel bearing at first.
tread ware has been very good it took my mechanic an entire box of weights to balance them and they still shake ride quality on the highway is terrible wont buy again
On a totally non-Mazda related note I put Falken Wildpeak AT Trails on my Jeep just over a year and half ago. All four of them already have weather cracking. And Falken doesn’t have a specific warranty for that, you simply have to claim the warranty under their general six year manufacturing defects and materials and hope they give you some help. They start at 11/32, rated for 65,000 miles and after 20,000 miles they are already down to 6.5/32
