HI

I too have an 02 Xterra and I have recently purchased the Yokahama Geolander A/T's 245/70/16.
These have been redesigned with a new tread pattern. I was going to spend the extra dollars on the BF Goodrich A/T's but my tire guy said to try them out and I have been happy with these new Yokahama's. They have a pretty aggressive tread pattern now and they have got me through some pretty deep mud. At $190/tire compared with $235/tire for the BFG's, I have no regrets. Of course that is pricing for us Canadian folks, but I am sure it is comparable for the U.S.
