Tires NITTO or Firestone
I have Nitto Nomad Grapplers on mine and really like them.
Decided on Firestone Affinity. Firestone's higher level brand, Bridgestone's research and development has trickled down to the Affinity AS tires. You can save some money by avoiding the Bridgestones. But 6 months in, with the amount of snow in Chicago this winter, all I can say is I haven't regretted my choice whatsoever.
Rides much smoother than stock, less bumpy and not noisy at all.
I had a 1999 Explorer and had it at the dealer for an oil change. While it was there word came down from Ford: if it\u2019s an Explorer with Firestone tires, switch to Goodyear! So, for about $40 I got an oil change and 5 new tires (including the spare). Best deal I ever got on a car!
I have the Firestone XTs on my 3rd gen Tundra, with about 16k miles on them. Good traction all around, and have worn well so far. I like the look of them as well. Only nitpick is they can vibrate a bit under braking at slower speeds.
Im liking my firestone destination at2. I ripped a huge chunk out of my falken at4w sidewall and all I could get in the small town I was in at the time was the AT2s. I drive a lot of highway on my road trip so the lighter weight and slightly less blocky tread has resulted in a decent boost to my fuel economy. It also seems to be much quieter than the at4w.
I got about 5k miles on my Firestone X/Ts and love them. Live in northern New England and they crush the snow. Smooth on the highway minimal sound. Very light weight for an E load rating. Highly recommend
So I just put 285/60/20 nitto recon on my 22 tundra from stock tires. I don\u2019t me if it just me but I feel like there a lot of road noise from these tires.
Those are suredrive sold by firestone. Do not even think of taking these on any ice or snow. Firestone sells all season tires that have the capability of going in snow but these are not it. These are entry level tires.good enough for highway and city driving but that\u2019s it.
1990s Ford Explorer were pretty solid except for the pesky factory installed Firestone tires that would blow out at speed.
