From my experience with working with them, I would go with the Toyo. Seem to balance better and wear out more evenly than the Nitto's.
Waited a month with enough miles to report this, however when I went from stock 20s to 275/70/R18 BFG KO2s they more aggressive and heavier tire took 2.5-3 MPG of efficiency from my 21 PB. I got 45k miles from those tires and they were great. In need of new tires I did some research and always heard Toyos were pretty good. So I felt like mixing it up with a new tire. I learned that Toyo early this year came out with a version of the Open Country that is for electric vehicles. A month and 1500 miles later, including some long road trips camping and my regular city driving, I can say that my trip readings are actually 1.5 MPG improved.
Bought my truck in 2019 at 55k miles with NEXEN tires, it’s 2024 98k miles and still in the green for discount tires tread chart (8/32”). I was told they are cheap tires but they’re quiet and have held up great.
I’ve run those Toyo’s OC AtIII tires. Worked great on road, off road, and really did well in the snow. I’d recommend them for SUV vehicles.
You have at least three I would replace ASAP. Since you drive a lot you need them to keep you safe. Ask them to give you an out the door price and keep the good firestone if you need a spare. The Toyo Open Country tires are a great replacement and road hazard resistant upgrade.
Been running them for 3 winters and they've been great.
Over the course of almost 10 years. I have found Nexen tires have always had better ride quality. Less wear issues. And don’t dry rot as quick as these big name brand tires.
I got about 26,000 miles from the Nexen.
Nexen and Sailun are low tier tire brands - they are trying to suggest affordable tires already.
Can't tell for EV, but my nexens on kodiaq lasted like 20k and already fronts were down to 3mm.
