Tires NITTO or MRF
Possibly the MRF tyre fitted on R variant has less road noise than the Bridgestone Tyre fitted in the Elevate at the time of launch. If that is the case then it is a good move. There were complaints on road noise on the 2023 Elevate.
Nt05
Best bang for buck I reckon
I love every set of nittos I’ve owned
they have excellent grip
Was at this overlanding event once and a guy was drilling into his Nitto spare to demonstrate how to plug. He was getting a workout in somewhat cold weather trying to *drill* into his Nitto.
I ran the Nittos on my Gladiator from day 1 to about 28k miles. Great tire, never had any issues or punctures. Survived Rubicon and the 7 hour drive back immediately after. Not the greatest in snow, but I've had worse in the past on other vehicles, lower air pressure can help this.
Of those are the only two tires your considering, then Nittos hands down. I ran one pair of KO2s… that was the first and last time I’ll run BFGs. Never had an issue with Nittos.
Reason I'm asking is I'm running Nitto NeoGens 280tw (205/50/15) on a fairly light, low horsepower car (D15B7 Del Sol). I've had alignments done, check my air pressure every other time I get gas (35psi) and I'm at the wear bars in 12k miles.
First don't buy MRF Nylogrip FE. Very thin tyre despite being of the same size. It skids easily with a little lean and you won't be confident.
I'm severely disappointed in these tires. My parents put 255/65r18 nomad grapplers on their 2013 traverse 2LT. Not even 200 miles on these tires and a stick punctured one of them.
