Recommendations on tires
Hello everyone,
The time has come to retire the stock Yokohama Geolandars that came with the car. They've last 49k miles, which is pretty impressive I guess. Any recommendation on some all season tires? I got quoted for the Michelin Premier for $223, the Bridgestone Ecopia EP 422+ for $205, and the Falken Ziex ZE950 for $140. Anyone here have these and want to share their opinion on them? Btw, I'm moving up in size to 255/55/18, if that helps. Any help or input is appreciated. Thanks!

I have the Ziex not on my NX but rather my MDX, good tires that are inexpensive, good wet traction but not particularly quiet. Road noise does seem more pronounced with the Ziex but for the money, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Still have them on right now. don't drive much on it, maybe 12k in 3 years? Still lots of tread life left. Came from michelin pilots, firestone destinations i think the ziex are better wet traction-wise than the pilot, destinations and the geolanders but are louder than all. Dry traction seems to be about the same but hard to say since i don't really floor either, i like taking hard corners with both but, you know, how much can you really corner with SUVs?
