New Tires Recommendation Please

[bonefish101]

Hi guys, time for new rubber on my 2011. Stock tires are worn on the rear and I'll probably just replace all four at the same time. I have the 20" rims, just wondering what you guys might recommend as a replacement.
Thanks y'all, Happy New Year!

I think one of the most popular tires here are the Yokohama Parada Spec X. They give decent wear are not noisy and perform well.

+1 Parada Spec X is what I have and love them

I'm running 20" Yokohama Parada Spec X on my 2009 FX35 in Chicago and I do like them but do they lose a little traction in the wet for anyone else? I see my traction control come on more than I'd expect in wet turns. That being said I do think they are a great balance of performance, price, and low noise.

+1 to the Parada Spec X

I loved them on my 20's, I wish they had them for my 21's.

If you are looking for a all season tire, you might what to consider the Michelin Premier A/S. There are a lot of good reviews. I believe you can also do some mild off road activities with it.

That was a pretty interesting read on those Michelins. I will definitely keep my eyes on these tires as I get closer to needing them. Thanks for the info two player. I've never ran on Yokahamas before but they sound like a great proven tire.

Yokohama Parada Spec X had it for almost a year. Very good tires no issues so far. You can't go wrong with them.

Is there any other tire options? I was looking for something with more performance - the only option in our 20" size are the expensive Continentals.
What about going to a slightly different size?

I was looking at this one - http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...ll=Blackwall&partnum=745YR0F1ASUVXL&tab=Sizes
[h=1]Eagle F1 Asymmetric SUV-4X4[/h]
But it comes in size 275/45R20

Should handle in the wet/dry much better than the Yokes or Kooks, & looks like a great tire for that size.
Another good option might be the Michelin Latitude Sport 1. I dont think the Sport 3 is available in a good size for stocks

 

[cruzdog954]

Answered my own question - our 20" rims are 8.0 so the tires have to be able to fit. The one above is for rims 8.5

 

[gto]

Pretty sure 275/45's would fit a stock rim just fine

 

[shadow191]

A 275 will be fine. I just wouldn't go much wider on an 8" rim, I think someone's put 285's on, but can't remember. It's not unsafe unless you go way out of spec like trying to put a 305 on there.

I have 265/50/20 on a 20x8.5. Odd numbered aspect ratio tires tend to cost more.

I just did this on my 2010 FX. To stop the "what ifs", get the Yokohama Parada Spec X. It is the tire you want. I have 'em. Love 'em.

 

[cruzdog954]

I guess you are right - Yokos then. All these are good Infiniti reviews.

The only tire from now and on that I'll buy for my FX will be the Yokos.

I'm running Yokohama Parada Spec X here as well and great handling wet, dry, and snow for a all season tire.
