They are pretty quiet for how aggressive they are. You can slightly hear it at around 50mph if your window is rolled down and no music or anything on. I reached about 80 on the freeway and I didn't hear anything.

I'm having a dilemma. I need tires for my Mada and need your advice. Do I go with 285/60/18, 285/65/18 or 295/65/18? I don't want any rubbing issues. Thanks in advance.

I am looking to replace the original latitudes on my 2011 Platinum Armada 2wd. Living in the south I need something that is not necessarily will be able to withstand tough northern winters. I am however scheduled to make a trip to the mountains up north in December so will need something that can do the job in snow. Any and all advice given would be appreciated. 42k on latitudes before needed to be replaced. 275/60r20

How many miles do you have on them? I was looking at those but saw they had mixed reviews. Looking for a good a/t tire with a fairly aggressive look.

The size 285/65R-18 shows as an ideal fit. Give us a call if we can be of assistance.

Would 285/70R018's fit with no issues as well?

The 285/70R-18 tire size is on the aggressive side for an all stock Armada. You'll like have some rubbing on the fenders at near steering wheel lock. If you want to avoid rubbing all together I suggest going with 285/65R-18's or 275/70R-18's.

Are you thinking of getting the 285/70/18? I just went to discount tire's website and it shows only one tire with that size. And one of those tires cost $390. So, we are talking about an estimate of more than $1,600 for a set of 4 tires. That is high. My guess is you will likely not want to spend that much on tires.

As for if it will fit, I know there is a thread here where some people have said that size should fit and even a 305/65/18. I think I read somewhere where someone said those 2 sizes should fit with no problem n stock rims. Maybe they can chime in.
That thread is somewhere. If I find it, I will post the link here.

I bought my Armada used with the gun metal 2014 pro 4x wheels on it. Those wheels come stock with 275/70/18 on them. So, if you are thinking of getting that size, I say go for it. That is what I am currently running.
It is awesome. The tires just feel right and the BFGoodrich I have looks a bit aggressive. I like it. Though the tires wear out pretty quick, as I have been told. As for me, I have about 17,000 miles on them so far and still have some good thread.

i have a 06 armada... and the rear tires are going away fast... when u make slow tight turn it makes screeching sound... why is that?
Bearing blocks are gone or rear brakes are gone. If the bearing blocks are worn out, since they come from nissan with about 3 drops of grease in them, they triple the wear rate of the brakes. If you have over 75k miles, all 4 wheel bearing blocks need to be replaced. Another thing nissan doesn't do, is apply antiseize to the brake caliper slider pins which keep the calipers applying and releasing pressure equally. Mandatory at every brake job. If the pins and sleeves are not antiseized, the pistons apply pressure unequally and vastly accelerate the wear of the pads.
