    Tires and Tires

    Hello again,
    So, I will want to get new tires in a few months. I have looked at quite a few. I keep coming back to the Brand Nexen, which I have recently put 4 new Nexen brand tires on my Ford fusion sport that my wife drives and the tires are great. Where I had them put on at the local ford dealership, the guy putting them on, which I happen to know, really liked the tires. Also the reviews are great.
    Ok so I have found these that I want for my truck: Nexen Roadian A/T Pro RA8. The reviews on these are good as well beating out the Goodyears that come on some of the trucks. Only costing just over $150 a piece. I would like to not spend more than $200 a piece, so this fits what I am looking at.
    I just want to get some feedback on what you think? Or have any other options.
    Thanks

    Pic of Tire below, Looks nice IMO

    Remember to pay attention to the reviews from people with trucks similar to yours. I pretty much always go with the best buy I can find with the features I want, whether it be weight range, tread type, milage rating, etc.

    I have not had these so I don't know about them. My truck has BFG AT's and I love them. Not as loud as a big lug mudder but a littler louder than a touring tire. The lugs are self cleaning and flings it out quick. If you will spend any time off pavement then maybe you should look into these.
    Good luck

    Yea I meant to say that the reviews on the Nexen tire were for the truck, I didnt really make that clear lol. But yea, I'm in no hurry, I do want an aggressive look, but try to keep it quite. I only have 16K on the tires on the truck now, so Im starting to look and make up my mind early.

    ----------

    I mostly stay on pavement, but I want a more aggressive looking tire. Although I do have some land with a pond and such and that is when I would take it off-road.

    Although I have never heard of those, they would probably work for your application. A/T's are perfect for the occasional off-roader and those look like they have a good enough tread pattern to get you where you want to go.

    Had them for about 2 months on her fusion, the wear is very good, very smooth, worked really well in the snow. Pretty impressed with them actually

    I'd say get their A/T's for your truck then.

    I think I may, and IF I do which will probably be a month or so from now, I will post pics and let you know how they are.
