Tires Nokia or GENERAL TIRE
I bought Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 255/45R19 last winter and they handled better than my old Xice’s
Altimax RT45/43 is the best budget tires around, however it's not a match against Bridgestone WeatherPeak.
The Wetproof 1 is a co-agreement with another manufacturer to make the tire to Nokians spec, Nokian are happy with the performance of it
I also used to have a 2008 Nissan Frontier. I had General Grabber AT-Xs on that truck. Decently comfortable, good load rating (I used that truck for towing), rated for snow, and the tread was good for the light offroading I did. Although being an offroad tire with a somewhat aggressive tread, it was noisy at highway speeds. I didn't really mind, but others might.
The Generals on my car are worlds better than the Pirellis on it before.
The Pirelli P1s were so loud you couldn't have a conversation on the highway, so lacking in grip that a 150hp car could spin the tires in dry conditions. After I went sideways on some wet concrete, I replaced them with General Exclaim tires - their 'sporty' all seasons, all of $50 each from Walmart. It grips like a race car, is quiet and smooth, and tire life is close.
General is good. I have Evertrek GTs on my car, they seem to be a pretty good tire.
I run hankook on my Miata and Nokian on my focus. No complaints there with either set.
Check out Generals Altimax line of tires, I have them on my shitbox beater and they’ve been serving me well for 20,000 miles
Had a set on my Volvo. They were good in the winter, but only okay in the summer, and they met an early demise on a gravel road in the Sangres
Nokian tires do that. All of there winter and summer and 4season tires through the last 10-12 years are known for devolving cracks through the outer layers. There summer tires I-line would crack all along the threads in 3-4 years.
