- 2011 X XLT 4WD
I just had a set installed yesterday. Nitto NT 421Q. Buy two / get two free at NTB. Out the door with all fees AND one year alignment was just over $800. In my opinion they had some nice features but do look "unique". Not that many reviews on them but the few I found were about 4of5 stars. I have the 20". Rated 109V XL, 75,000 mile wty.
I got 58K out of the Hankooks and they wore nicely. Could have easily gone another 5-7k but some upcoming winter road trips made me nervous.

Since Spring 2014, we've been running the Nitto NT 421Q's on my wife 2011 XLT and have been extremely happy with them. They're very quiet, seem to be wearing very evenly, they handle extremely well in wet and dry, and do a great job of resisting hydroplaning (heck, they even do well in the deep sands of Outer Banks, NC)...the only condition we haven't yet had a chance to try them in is "snow". Despite getting about 8"+ the day before Thanksgiving, it was pretty wet and really not an accurate test.
One thing which really puzzles me about this tire is the fact it's been out since 2011/2012 and I've yet to find a single review on it (owner or otherwise)--not even a "bad" review. Nothing. Even on sites like Discount Tire, which sells Nittos, there's not a single customer review.
Anyway, I'll report back after I've had a chance to give them a good run-down in the white stuff. Worst case scenario, if they turn out to be really awful in the snow/ice, I would still give them a glowing review as a 3 season tire!
