I have the nokian rotiiva(I think thats the name) on my Titan,came with the truck very close to new when I bought it.
They are ok in the snow(ontario snow belt)but not steller imo.
I've only put less then 20k miles and the wear is down to about 50% now so the wear isn't great either.
I will be in the same boat next fall to replace these,I had LTX in the past and they were better I think.
The destination le2 on my wife's escape are garbage in the snow. My 2wd ranger on general grabbers moves better. My friend who runs a tire shop recomended the discovery at3 for 4 season use so that's what we will be going with.
After a day with my new Continental Terrain Contact A/Ts, I can really say that I like them a lot. Super quiet. I got to test them in ice, snow, wet, and dry given the conditions around here and I have not been disappointed in any of them. It wasn't deep snow... maybe an inch or so. Ride quality is on par with a SL or C range LT tire. No better, no worse. The old tires would transfer a lot of noise and impact on bumps. These Contis seem to transfer about the same impact, but do it very quietly.
So in the first 50 miles I give them a huge thumbs up.
Did I mention quiet? Like H/T quiet. Seriously. Quieter than my LTX M/S on the Chevy. Can't hear the tires at all from about 45mph up because wind noise overtakes any tire noise. I have no idea if they'll stay that way, but I plan on rotating every oil change.
I used to sell tires and I've seen multiple sets of ltxs go over 100k miles. The blue Dodge had a set for just over 100k miles, there was little degradation in performance over that time, where I've seen other tires performance plummet halfway through their life. A lot of tires dont even have full depth sipes. Falken Wildpeak and it's many rebrands are like this, halfway worn and there isn't a single sipe left on the tire.
we don't get a ton of snow down here in Tejas but I've drove through 3 years of our annual snow storm without problem and LTXs.
