New 20" Tires for '08 and Newer Nissan Armada / Infiniti QX56

[Timmbo]

Well, as much as we hate to think about this, winter is just around the corner. For those of us in the north, that means all the snow and ice will be soon covering our roadways. I LOVE my '08 Armada, but I HATE the Michelin tires that were stock on this vehicle and Infiniti QX56 models. The biggest problem with the Michelins is the snow and ice traction. I was shocked at how poorly the Michelins performed in the snowy conditions. I now have about 24,000 miles on my Armada and the stock Michelins have been squealing a lot around corners.

So, I decided to get some new treads! After much research, I decided to go with Michelin HTS Grabbers. So far these tires are AWESOME! Noticed right away a smoother ride. Also the sqealing is gone, and I can't wait to try them out in the snow and ice (although I am willing to wait a long time for winter, LOL). Anyway, price is great and my local Nissan dealer was willing to match the best price I could find, had them mounted and all for under $800. Tire Rack give them excellent reviews and great results for snow and ice. The other cool thing is it looks like the tires are making my truck sit up a little higher, and the tires appear to have a sort of offset that actually allows them to be a little wider than the rim. I am very happy!!!

Hope this helps for those of you looking for new tires!
