Guys,
I don't off-road at all - just pavement. I am in need yet again of replacing my tires early. I have the Pro-4X, 2015, but have had 3 other Xterra's since 2001. I'm on my third set of Falken WildPeaks. They're great tires for about the first 18 months, and then i start sliding around roundabouts, and spinning out from a stop when the pavement is wet. I tried a more "car" tire, but was spinning if there was even a hint of pebbles, sand, dirt of rocks on the dry pavement. I paid $1200 for the set of Falken's and in 18 months (~20K) i'm again looking to replace them, as they're just not safe. To look at them though, they look brand new. I don't know if it's the torque, the weight, etc., of the X, but I can't find something that works. I'm a very safe driver and do not have a lead foot. So, I'm not speeding or accelerating hard at intersections, etc.
I read a couple of older posts with Hankook's that someone said was good for regular road driving, but they bought Dynapro AT2's which have been replaced by the Dynapro AT2 Xtreme. I don't see any posts on this. I don't know if that is one to try - the tread pattern looks more "on-roadish" than "off-roadish" if that makes sense.
Does anyone out there just drive their X on pavement, and have any recommendations for me (stock size)?
Much appreciated!!
