I have been doing some extensive comparisons -Need your INPUT- Please

I have been comparing out the specs for my next set of tires. I have narrowed it down to a few choices.
Question I have for you friends is do you have anything to say about Nitto Crosstek 2's (good or bad) . I would be getting them in the 265/65R17 to fit exactly what I have now. My present tires have not given me the longevity I expected (32K only)
Please give me your thoughts -(real word preferable, as in- you have experience with them)
I had some Vredestien Pinza's in my short list, but my favorite supplier can't get this brand and the Pinzas are a new tire model for this company.
Thanks for your input(s)

No one running or have ran these tires?

 

So your want to run a pretty much a road tire correct?

 

Correct, somewhat less aggressive, than my present Yoki G015's, which only give 32-33K in life. I do so little off road.

 

Get the Open Country

 

Bridgestone duelers Allenza+. Had a set of those on my 5th gen 4runner and they were great. Lasted 50,000 miles.

 

Any snow or ice driving?

 

Too agressive for my present needs -but thanks anyway!

 

I'll take a look at these , problem is that the last set of Bridgestones I had on a vehicle WERE CRAP, and that left a bad taste in my mouth!

 

Very little as our ice and snow days here in mid MO have been getting fewer. Living in a city -the street guys get them cleaned off fairly quickly, and being retired , I can always put stuff off till the next day!

 

never heard of either, but im voting Michelin defenders

 

follow up here - I looked them up -- I will check further into them -- they have a fantastic mileage prediction/warranty.
Thanks for the great tip!

 

I am on my second set on Michelin LTX AT2's and I think they are great. First set got 90k miles on them and replaced them at 5.5 years due to tread and sidewall getting some cracks/dry rot. They had 8/32nd's on them when I replaced them. I do all highway driving and these are quiet for an all terrain tire. Highly recommend.

 

I was gonna say the same without needing to get some snow or ice traction I would buy a set of Michelins hard to find a tire that will out wear them.

 

Michellin tires are no joke for sure!!

 

I’ve been running Nitto G2s. Have very good street manners IMO. My current set have 60k on them with 9/32s left. I do a lot of hwy driving.

 

Are your tires the Nitto Crosstek 2's or the Nitto Grappler 2's? Thanks for your response!

 

The Grappler G2. Very smooth on hwy, quiet.

 

I checked out reviews -- for my needs they would also work. Dang it - now another option to think about

 

they were a great highway tire. They did good in the snow too. My 4runner has toyo at3 now. Of course they are louder with worse fuel economy.

edit: I still had plenty of tread left when I replaced them at 50,000 miles. I just needed a tire that could get me through chain controls without chains.
