Best Tires for Nissan Armada
Below are two excellent options for all-season tires for your Aramada. The Michelins are, as expected, the more expensive of the two. They actually do lack some overall stopping power in dry and wet conditions as compared to most all-seasons, so it’s at first surprising to see them at the top of this list. However, they do offer vastly superior winter grip than any other all-season tire you’ll find. So while most all-seasons are just plain garbage when the snow starts blowing, these are at least ok.
As for the Bridgestones, they are more affordable, offer better driving dynamics and braking capability, but have the usual winter drawbacks. They’re a good chunk cheaper than the Michelins and share the same 70,000 mile tread life warranty.

Best All-Terrain Tires for Nissan Armada
Here’s a selection of top quality all-terrain tires, each with their own unique selling points. The BFGs are undeniably the most capable tire of the bunch and the most durable too. A 50,000 mile warranty is ok and they’re priced like they’re the best too.
The Goodyears are also impressively capable off-road, though not quite to the same level. They’re also less-sophisticated, with more road noise and deliver a less-responsive ride on-road. On the plus side, they’re quite bargain.
The Nittos are priced in the middle, offer a longer tread life warranty of 65,000 miles and deliver the best on-road driving dynamics and refinement of the bunch.
That said, it really depends on how often you intend to go off-roading and how extreme the terrain is.

It’s important to note that the GrandTrek AT23 is an all-season tire and not an all-terrain one, despite the “AT” designation in the name.

While most tire installers will handle sourcing these parts for you, you can also buy your own here.
