The only thing bad about the "All Season" tires is there are not
a whole lot of choices out for our "Low Profile" 18" application.
You have a few...but not as many as the 2010+ setups.
Depending on your snow levels, 235/50's imho are really too wide for true snow conditions...a few inches, but if you do alot of driving in the snow, nothing beats a skinny snow tire! I would drop down to 16-17" on junk rim and get approiate sized tire for that setup.
But if your snow lvl's are mild, then all seasons should work nicely, just do not get caught with summer tires in the snow (not fun). I have lived in the midwest (iowa)...So when I talk about snow (being I'm in FL now) I do understand it about
.
I would still get the XL rated tires (its liability issues for any shop that puts on improperly rated tires on yoru setup, they will become liable if something happens, the Nox isnt that much heavier than a car, but still)...
I have the B/S Dueler H/L Alenza on my Nox. They are quiet, and have good road manners. Of the factory options available, mine came w/ Hankooks (not a good tire imo), I did a company rubber changeover program we have. But anyways.....They provide excellent wet traction which is what I need in FL, especially using unimproved boat launches where half my rear tire is already in the water, and the fronts are on moss/water.
Review has them ranked #2 out all the All Season CUV/SUV Tires
