Infiniti Qx4 Tires
Introduced in 1996, the Infiniti QX4 was an upscale version of the Nissan Pathfinder SUV and was the first true SUV to be badged as an Infiniti. While it was luxurious inside, the QX4 was also fully ready for off-road driving with 4x4 and over eight inches of ground clearance. Later generations of the QX4 featured a 240 horsepower 3.5L V6 engine, intelligent cruise control, and premium-package options like a power moonroof and upgraded audio. Chief complaints about the Infiniti QX4 were that it was a little small and that cargo space was scant. The QX4 was loaded up with amenities like a navigation system, DVD player, rear-seat entertainment, and 6-speaker Bose audio but in the end, there was just not enough difference between the QX4 and the Nissan Pathfinder for most drivers to be able to justify the extra sticker price.
Here at SimpleTire, our team has gone through the catalog and put together a roundup of the best Infiniti QX4 tires, including all-season, all-weather, winter, and all-terrain tires. We then used our SimpleScore system to ascertain a numerical value for the categories of traction, longevity, and handling for each tire. Ready? Let’s zoom in for a closer look:
1. Falken Wildpeak H/T02 - Best All-Season tire
Let’s get this list going with the Falken Wildpeak H/T02, a tire that’s set to redefine the highway/all-season tire for light trucks. Right out of the gate, we should say we’re pretty impressed with this tire’s durability. It’s designed with a silica-rich heavy-duty rubber compound, a reinforced upper sidewall to resist damage from rough use, support bridges that support tread rigidity, and 3D Canyon Sipes that help stabilize the shoulder. Falken covers the Wildpeak H/T02 with a 70,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty – and we give the Wildpeak H/T02 a SimpleScore of 9.9 for longevity. With those sipes and a combination of circumferential and lateral grooves, all-season traction is strong too – enough for a SimpleScore of 8.7. The Wildpeak H/T02 is designed to deliver confident cornering and braking along with civilized road manners and overall drivability, for a SimpleScore of 8.5 in the handling department.
2. Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S - Best All-Terrain tire
If you’re driving an Infiniti QX4 that’s equipped with AWD or 4WD, you need an all-terrain tire to get the most out of its performance potential. You can think of the Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S as a strong, hardworking set of hands in a pair of stylish leather driving gloves: this tire is versatile enough to do it all. We should talk a little about the durability of the Discoverer AT3 4S; Cooper stands by this tire with a 65,000 mile manufacturer’s treadwear warranty, one of the best you’ll find for any AT tire in this class. When it comes to longevity, we give the Discoverer AT3 4S a SimpleScore of 9.2. The Discoverer AT3 4S gets a very strong SimpleScore of 9.7 for traction, hanks to Aqua-Vac channels with deep center grooves for wet-weather traction, a 5-rib Secure-Grip all-terrain tread pattern, Micro-Gauge zigzag sipes and Cooper’s Snow Groove technology that builds snow-on-snow friction as it traps and retains snow. If you’re worried about performance in winter conditions, the Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S is certified with the tire industry’s Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rating for severe winter service. SimpleScore for handling is 9.4, with steering response, cornering, and road manners that are all crisp and immediate, thanks to this tire’s durable internal construction that consists of a 2-ply polyester casing with two steel belts and a single-ply nylon reinforcement ply, which contributes greatly to highway-speed stability and road manners.
3. Toyo Observe GSi-6 - Best Winter tire
For most situations, all-season tires are the perfect solution – they’re a jack of all trades when it comes to their long wear and versatility, but they can’t do it all and aren’t suitable for all conditions, specifically when it comes to heavy snow and winter weather where they are just not going to be capable of getting the job done. If you live in one of those parts of the country where heavy snow might linger for days or weeks on the roads, the Toyo Observe GSi-6 is a great option for your Infiniti QX4. Winter grip with the Observe GSi-6 is a strong point; it’s designed with an environmentally friendly tread compound that’s infused with ground walnut shells as well as silica for extra friction in snow and slush. The Observe GSi-6’s winter tread pattern is designed with a serrated stability rib, large paired inner tread blocks, and a dense network of sipes to dig in and chew through snow and slush for a traction score of 8.7. Longevity is a strong point as well, with a SimpleScore of 8.5. Those tread features along with a layer of carbonic powder (derived from bamboo) that absorbs water all work together to enhance cornering, steering response, and control. Handling with the Observe GSi-6 is precise and predictable, for a SimpleScore of 8.7.
While these are the best Infiniti QX4 tires on the market, there are plenty of other tires to consider:
4. General Grabber HTS60 - Great All-Season tire
Next up is our pick for a great all-season tire for the Infiniti QX4, the General Grabber HTS60. A quick overview of SimpleScore numbers for the General Grabber HTS60 shows 8.6 for traction, 9.2 for longevity, and 8.4 for handling, with an average SimpleScore of 8.4, so let’s break that all down a bit. The Grabber HTS60 is designed for a mix of style, comfort, durability, and year-round performance, and delivers tenacious all-season traction with the kind of refined ride quality and low noise you’d expect with an automotive Grand Touring tire. The Grabber HTS60 employs a rugged cut-and-chip-resistant tread formulation and is designed with a polyester casing, two ultra-strong steel belts, and a sound-absorbing rubber layer under the tread. That gives the Grabber HTS60 the kind of durability that’s backed up with a 6-year/65,000 mile warranty. Its tread pattern is tuned for specific vehicle weights and sizes, with a combination of circumferential grooves and variable-density sipe networks that deliver year-round performance even in light snow. The Grabber HTS60’s handling is consistent and predictable, thanks to a continuous center rib that lends great road manners as well as driver feedback that’s direct and precise without being overly sensitive and touchy.
5. Yokohama Geolandar AT G015 - Great All-Terrain tire
We’re closing out this list with an all-terrain tire that’s made a great impression on drivers for years, the Yokohama Geolandar AT G015. Yokohama’s Geolandar line has had a praise-worthy reputation as an all-terrain tire design for many years, and the Geolandar AT G015 is a natural next step in that evolution. The Geolandar AT G015 is designed with Yokohama’s Enduro tread formulation and a flat, optimized footprint that encourages long, even wear (with a 60,000 mile warranty). We ran our calculations and came up with a SimpleScore of 8.8 for longevity for the Geolandar AT G015. Grip on- or off-road is quite good as well, with a combination of 3D sipes, circumferential grooves, and Yokohama’s Edgetec groove design. The Yokohama Geolandar AT G015 is certified with the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rating for severe winter service, and we give it a very strong 8.6 SimpleScore in the traction department. Thanks to those tread features along with durable, stable Endurocore construction, road manners, steering feedback, cornering, and steering response are all superb. Our SimpleScore numerical rating for handling: 8.4.
