I might get a set for the Xterra since it is highway driven.

I may have to look into some when mine are used up. I have Yokohama's on right now and am quite happy with them, so I may stick with them.

The General Grabbers AT2 are rated pretty good and that new Falken Wild peak had a good write up in Petersen Four Wheel.

Falkens are a pretty expensive tire are they not?

I always thought of generals as a more inexpensive brand.

The dealer mounted mine when I bought the truck. I told him I wanted to keep the tires I had because I was going to trade. He said he would give me $500.00 for tires. I figured there was no way I could get 4 tires let alone 2 for that.

I usually order my tires from Discount Tires Direct. That is where I got the tires and wheels for the Red Truck.

I think mine were from one of the larger stores like that. I know they had spots for at least 20 vehicles inside.

They dropped shipped them to a local tire shop for me. And they have free shipping so the price you see is it. Unlike others that add shipping when you check out.

My tire shop says I need tires and brakes on the Xterra. That is more than I can afford right now.

I know what you're saying. I did my front brakes last month and it was close to 300 bucks. Pads and calipers. I did all the work.
