Dodge Nitro Tires

Offered from 2006 to 2012, the Dodge Nitro was a compact SUV that was available with rear-wheel-drive or part-time four-wheel drive. Nitros were strong-running and capable, with a choice of V6 engines and a tough, brawny image. Unfortunately, the Nitro never really clicked with the buying public and the model only lasted a few years before being displaced by the Journey crossover SUV in the Dodge lineup.

The Nitro had a lot of commonalities with the Jeep Liberty platform and was available with SXT, SLT, and R-T trim levels, with the R-T package boasting a 260 hp 4.0L V6 and 5-speed automatic. Inside, the Nitro was available with niceties like stain-repellent cloth or leather upholstery, 8-speaker premium audio, Load ‘n Go fold-flat cargo floor, fold-flat front passenger seat, parking assist, satellite radio, and more. The Nitro was not especially fuel efficient, with EPA ratings of 18 mpg city-22 mpg highway. It was succeeded in the Dodge lineup by the Journey and Jeep Cherokee.

That might sound like too much to hope for, but the Toyo Open Country A-T III is that kind of all-terrain tire. Toyo engineered the Open Country A-T III with a polyester casing, two steel belts, and a spiral wrap polyamide cap layer, along with a tough cut-and-chip-resistant tread compound.
