I've had 2 sets of Nitto NT850 CUV+ on my 08 CX-9 Touring (18" wheels) and I'm bummed they discontinued the tire.
I just installed a set of Nexen N'Fera RU5 tires based on some other reviews. So far I like them, about 1,000 miles driven so far.
- The Nexens are quieter than the Nittos, we'll see how this holds up as they wear.
- Wet grip is very similar, can't tell a difference.
- The cornering is a bit less precise compared to the Nittos, they feel softer and a bit more vague.
- Can't tell any difference braking.
I'm happy with them so far. I paid $513 (final price) delivered to a tire installer, and another $60 for mount/balance. I used tirebuyer.com.
They look good on the car. Slightly taller profile which is good for the awful urban streets where I live (Oakland CA).
