Mine did that too, chunks came off all over them and they went bald around 19000. Complete garbage of a tire. Went with Michelins on the next set and got 69000 miles, worth every penny.the stock tires to come on the x. did anyone else experiences the tires breaking apart in chunks?? i know they're crappy tires but wow.

wow 19k that sucks. I am at about half tread or a little less at 38k right now. but, with the breaking apart of the tire, I will need to replace probably around march or so. maybe less.Mine did that too, chunks came off all over them and they went bald around 19000.

do you off road in yours? we have the same x btw, just different colorLooks like mine will be worn out in 30k miles. No breaking apart though. Certainly will not buy them as replacements

on my last car I had a set of Michelin's that advertised 90k. they're on discounttiredirect.comNissan does the same with all of their vehicles. My wife's Rogue is already in need of tires and we bought it brand new in 2011. We only have 28k on them and we are almost close to the 2/32nd mark! I'm going to have to spring for some really good tires that can help me get close to 60k. I saw a set advertised for 70k!
Those look nice, sometimes I think manufacturers use tires that are overly soft to hide a rough ride like in the Xterra and thats why they fall apart so easily.My 2010 Xterra SE came with BFG Long Trails (265 65 17). Have had the X just shy of 4 years (bought new) but have not driven a lot of miles. The BFGs wore out with few miles (26500 miles) Now although they didn't last anywhere near the miles they are claimed to last, they at least did not start falling apart in chunks. I just replaced them a couple of weeks ago with Cooper Discoverer AT3. They come with tread depth of 16/32 yet are remarkably quiet. Have driven them so far on rough roads, newly repaved roads, gravel and dirt roads, in rain (a lot of rain) and the Coopers have been great. (Yet to drive them in snow but that should be coming soon.)
I highly recommend the Discoverer AT3 as a replacement.
Cheers
