Tires Toyo or Falken
I sized down to 275/50 Toyo. No issues. I believe my speed is a bit off because it's a smaller tire. But not my speeding isn't speeding as much. I'm happy not spending $1500+. Its just a commuter.
I ended up buying 275/50/21 for my replacements. I'm not paying $400/tire. I think it was $220ea, and no issues after 25k miles. It's snowing in Indy now, and I'm fine. Slick roads, it's got grip.
I have been purchasing Toyo tires for some time now and really like them. I buy them for my truck though, MT and RT so they are large heavy tires. I buy them because they last and are tough.
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.
The Celsius 2 is a decent all weather but not as good as they crossclimate.
I don't like the Falken Ziex that comes with the 17 inch wheel.
Falken RT615k+ on BMW 135i here. They are toast with less than 5k miles on them.
