Seeking Insights on All-Terrain Tires

I’m in the market for new tires and have my eye on the Pathfinder All Terrain 265/70R17. My goal is to find a set that can handle both on-road driving and some off-road adventures. Before I make a decision, I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience with these tires.

Here are some questions I have:

  • Performance: How do they handle in various weather conditions? Any issues with wet or slippery roads?
  • Durability: How well do they hold up against rough terrains or rocky roads?
  • Noise Levels: Are they quiet enough for highway driving or do they generate a lot of road noise?
  • Price vs. Quality: Are they worth the investment compared to other options in the same size?

I appreciate any feedback or experiences you can share, along with any alternatives you might recommend. Thanks in advance!

I’ve been using the Pathfinder All Terrain 265/70R17 tires for about six months now. They perform well in muddy conditions, providing decent grip and traction. You can really feel the difference compared to my previous tires.

That’s great to hear! I was curious about how they handle snow. Any insights on that?

4

In my experience, these tires handle snow quite well! They have good bite, which is essential when traversing icy patches. Just be cautious on more extreme slopes.

5

That’s a relief! I live in an area that gets heavy snowfall. How do they perform on gravel roads?

6

On gravel, I’ve found the Pathfinder tires provide a solid balance between stability and traction. They don’t slip easily, which makes for a much safer drive.

7

That sounds appealing. Have you tested them in deep mud? I’m concerned about clogging.

I’ve driven through some pretty deep mud, and while they do fill up a bit, the tread clears out well enough when you get moving. Just don’t get too bogged down!

9

Lol, I’m definitely not looking to get stuck in mud! How would you rate them overall for everyday use?

10

Honestly, I think they’re great for daily driving as well. They are quieter than I expected on highways, considering they’re all-terrain tires.

11

That’s good to know! Does anyone think these tires struggle on any specific surface?

12

In rocky terrain, they can be a bit slow to grip. You may want to consider them for mixed environments rather than extreme rock crawling.

Noted! So, overall, do you think they are worth the money?

Absolutely! Given their performance across various terrains, I think they offer great value for money. Just be sure to match them to your main driving conditions.

Thanks for all the insights everyone! It seems like the Pathfinder tires hold up pretty well overall.

I’ve had the Pathfinder All Terrain tires for about 20,000 miles now and they still look great! I’m impressed with the tread wear. Definitely a solid choice for off-roading.

17

That’s awesome to hear! I’ve been curious about how they hold up after a year of use. What type of terrain do you usually drive on?

I’ve used these tires for about 25,000 miles, mostly highway. I did notice some uneven wear on the edges. Make sure to rotate them regularly!

19

Good point! Regular rotation seems crucial for maximizing lifespan. Did you have any issues with road noise?

20

Road noise is pretty decent! Not as loud as I expected, but there’s certainly a hum on the highway. I think they strike a good balance for all-terrain use.
