Tires Falken or OEM Chevrolet
One of the best tires I ever had on my xterra. When my pirellis wear out, I'll probably go back to the wildpeaks
Falken Wildpeak AT4W mounted on stock 20 inch wheels. You are going to have slightly more road noise. Overall they feel smoother.
I’m running the Falken Wildpeaks 235 70R16s.
No suspension mods (my car is ALL stock except for these tires!)
I LOVE THEM.
I run Falken Wildpeaks (severe winter-rated All Terrains). Have zero issues driving in snow.
I ditched the stock tires at 20k and went with Falken Wildpeak A/T and it drives perfect.
Working as a ski guide in the Canadian Rockies and running the AT3W on my Tacoma and I love them. Driving snowy highways before plows and un-maintained FSRs they are phenomenal. The only downside is on glare ice they struggle but with that kind of tire any would.
I’ve got a set of Wildpeak AT Trails on my ‘17. Had them for maybe 3 years now. Went with 235/60r17 because I’ve got 17x8 wheels(1in wider than stock). Been a bit louder, but that’s the way ATs are. Being that they’re heavier, there’s more weight getting forced towards the body of the vehicle when you hit bumps/jolts. That extra weight is gonna jolt the body more than the lighter tires/wheels. Mine went from riding like a touring car to feeling like an actual SUV after the change.
For 3 seasons I get good year reliants (100 USD each) for winter falken aklimate that are 3 peak rated (140 USD each) no issues in lite to moderate snow. I don't have extreme snow in Texas.
I just got a set of 255 Falken RT660, not quite half-gone. Put them on the car and wow did they rub, definitely need to self-clearance. Speed-wise they were pretty comparable to what I've been running on Bridgestones, but they got pretty slidey late in sessions and it wasn't even a hot day.
My falken ziex came with my car from the dealership and have 15.5k miles on them. When i checked the tread last week, they were 4/32 in the front and 5/32 in the back. This seems like really excessive wear.
