The FX35 shares a lot of commonalities with the Nissan Murano and comes with upscale interior niceties like heated front seats, heated power mirrors, ScratchShield paint finishes, an all-around view monitor, a rearview camera, intelligent cruise control, and much more. The FX35 was available with a 303 hp V6 for spirited performance, turning in 15 mpg city/20 mpg highway.
At SimpleTire, we’ve rounded up some of the best Infiniti FX35 tires, including some great all-season, all-weather, and winter tires, ranked as Best, Great, and Good based on SimpleScore Ready? Let’s get in for a closer look:
1. Pirelli Scorpion Zero - Best All-Season tire
We’re going to kick off this list with the Pirelli Scorpion Zero, a tire that complements the Infiniti FX35’s power, performance, ride, and handling in all the right ways. Pirelli designed the Scorpion Zero for year-round grip in wet, dry, or light wintry conditions, with four wide circumferential grooves to channel water away and resist hydroplaning and a dense network of sipes that multiply the number of biting edges the tire has to chew its way through snow or slush for a traction SimpleScore of 9.3. Pirelli engineered the Scorpion Zero specifically for SUVs, crossovers, and trucks, with their higher center of gravity, and steering response, road manners, cornering, and braking are all immediate and precise for a handling score of 9.6. The Scorpion Zero isn’t covered by a limited manufacturer tread life warranty and falls a bit in the rankings for longevity with a SimpleScore of 7.8.
2. Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV - Best Winter tire
“Hakkapeliitta” is a word that most Americans probably haven’t encountered…it's Finnish for that country’s 16th-century cavalry troops, in case you were wondering. Finland-based Nokian (yes, the same parent company as Nokia phones) specializes in winter tires that are up to the challenges of safely navigating a driver through a Scandinavian winter. Here at SimpleTire, we’ve been fans of Nokian tires and the Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV for some time. If an ice storm comes through and leaves your roads as slick as a hockey rink, you’re probably going to find that studded tires are the only thing that can safely get you through it. The Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV is pre-drilled for easy installation of studs (check your local and state laws for the legality of studded tires). Its stud pattern is strategically designed to deliver the best traction while keeping noise to a minimum. For control and traction that is predictable, its tread pattern consists of a system of angled, sweeping grooves and a dense network of sipes. Its rubber formulation is engineered for flexibility in subfreezing weather, bringing in a SimpleScore of 9.9 for traction. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that this tire is Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rated for severe winter service. Longevity is also a real strong point with the Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV, with its tough internal construction, tough Aramid-reinforced sidewall, and a durable rubber compound for a 9.1 SimpleScore in that category. Cornering, braking, and control all benefit from a rigid sidewall, shoulder, and tread face, enough for a SimpleScore of 8.9 for handling. We should note here that the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV is also designed for low rolling resistance, saving fuel over the tire’s service life.
While these are the best Infiniti FX35 tires on the market, there are plenty of other options to consider:
3. Yokohama Geolandar X-CV - Great All-Season Tire
Next up we’ve got the Yokohama Geolandar X-CV, an all-season tire that’s designed specifically around the driving dynamics and performance of today’s SUVs and crossovers. With an all-season tread pattern with four circumferential grooves, a staggered pattern of 2D and 3D sipes, and a silica-infused rubber formulation for improved wet-weather grip, the Geolandar X-CV gets a SimpleScore of 8.6 for traction. The cornering, steering response, and braking properties of the Geolandar X-CV are all pretty impressive too, thanks to its stable internal construction and rigid, reinforced shoulder that’s designed to stand up to the forces and inertia of cornering, which lead to a SimpleScore of 9.1 for handling. Yokohama backs the Geolandar X-CV with a 50,000 mile warranty; that’s pretty impressive warranty coverage, for a longevity score of 8.4 according to SimpleScore rankings. We should also mention that this is a tire with a whisper-quiet ride, with a five-pitch tread pattern that’s randomized and tuned to cancel frequencies and mute road noise.
4. Good All-Season Tire: Hankook Dynapro HP2 (RA33)
We’re going to close out this collection of tires for the Infiniti FX35 with the Hankook Dynapro HP2 (RA33). The Dynapro HP2 (RA33) is a strong performer when it comes to braking, steering feedback, cornering, and road manners, with a stiff center rib and high-density polyester construction that includes two steel belts, a 2-ply polyester casing, and nylon cap ply. When it comes to handling, the Dynapro HP2 (RA33) gets a SimpleScore of 8.6. The year-round grip is also outstanding thanks to a combination of circumferential grooves, angled grooves, and sipes, for a traction SimpleScore of 8.4. We should also mention here that the Dynapro HP2’s “silencer sipes” do a great job of helping keep road noise to a minimum. With its advanced silica-based tread formulation, Hankook covers the Dynapro HP2 (RA33) with a 65,000 mile warranty, which rates a SimpleScore of 8.5 in the longevity rankings.
