Time for new tires, bring your opinions. 🛞

What use cases are you going for? Will you be off-roading? Ice/snow performance? Range? Those things are going to impact what is the best tire for you.

I’m runnning 18s and went with the Nokian nAT. Snow/Ice performance, low rolling reistance, and off-road capability where my priorities. It is also pretty quiet.

Probably quiet, mostly city and highway. Maybe occasional ice/snow but it’s rare. The Nokian is my top pick thus far.

Just ran the Nokians in stock size for the past few months. Excellent tire no complaints. Definitely like them better than the stock Goodyears.
Just installed a set of Falken Wildpeak AT4W on 18” wheels so I can’t compare them directly but so far I like how they feel. A little quieter than the Nokians.

Those look nice. So you think the Falkens are quiter than the nokian? I’ll be running 18” wheels so good to know. I’m coming from a gladiator with 37” so I’m done with the road hum at highway speeds.

Wondering if any folks have used a decibel meter app to register cabin noise?

They just sound different more than quieter. Nothing like a M/T tire obviously

How is your power consumption vs the Nokian? I considered the AT4W, ran them on my Jeep, but being much heavier I worried they’d have a large impact to range.

Just put them on yesterday afternoon so far most of their mileage has been off-road. I’ll report back once I drive around this weekend

Loving the new Pirelli Scorpion XTM AT tires. Chunky but quiet and minimal range impact.

How do they perform on wet roads? Saw a video of a guy complaining that they hydro plane easily. I’m considering the XTMs for my next set of tires but don’t want to worry about traction on wet roads.

I've driven them in heavy rains and through standing water on the highway. Had no issues. I was little weary too because of one review a guy had using them on his rivian. He made it sound like they hydroplaned at speeds less than 35 and talked about losing control multi times before taking them back in. Had mine at 80 with fsd, rain, through turns without issue. Felt solid. After that I'd take control and purposely aim for standing water when traffic was light to see if there was any planing I could feel. None felt at over 55 mph. These do a good job channeling the water out for sure. Not sure what that other guy was talking about on his rivian.

I saw the same video and it scared me too. I guess I’ll give them a try based on your experience with them. What kind of wh/miles are you getting with them?

Last 200 miles was 378. Overall after 5700 miles it's 401. Still falling though. Did some highway speeding and sport mode launches which really jacked up my averages. I'd say 378 is closer to accurate. Measured the same at 2400 miles.

I still think the OEM Goodyear are the best. The aesthetic is awesome and they are very nice tires. I’ll gladly pay up

Yea I was considering those, I currently have the core wheels with perillie AS OEM tires, they are wearing out fast though. 13k miles and will be lucky to make it to 20k. I have also seen several other people saying the good years don’t last long as well. These new perillie AT have a 55k warranty and were designed for EVs so it looks promising. They pretty much cost the same as the OEM good years but hopefully last longer.

Yeah. From Les Schwab they cost about the same. When I traded in the Goodyears, I think I had to pay $12 more for the XTMs due to tariffs.

I’m curious how Bridgestone Dueler AT Ascent tires compare (noise wise) to factory Pirelli AS tires. Had AT tires on my Expedition and don’t care for the drone knobby tires make. Very few non AT/LT tires in 285/65R20.
