Best Tyres for the Nissan Rogue Platinum 2023

These 235/55R19 Dunlop Grand Trek PT21 tires were OEM on my 2023 Nissan Rogue Platinum. I live just outside Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The tires were driven on from June 2023 until they were swapped out for all-weather tires in October of 2025 at exactly 13,367 km (8,306 miles), experiencing no traction issues summer or winter with my all-wheel-drive SUV. I'm not what would be called an enthusiast driver; I just want to get to where I'm going with no fuss. Handling and braking on dry roads was fine, ditto for wet. We went to Vancouver Island on one trip and consequently drove through quite a bit of rain on the highways with no issues. Absolutely the only complaint I would have about these tires is that from the original 8/32" tread when new, after only 8300 miles the tread was down to 5/32". You can see from the low mileage over 2+ years that I don't drive a lot. But here in Sherwood Park we get all the winter weather Edmonton gets. Main routes are quite well maintained but secondary routes in the residential areas can see lots of snow build up with deep ruts and slick intersections from cars pulling away from stop signs or lights. Again I had no problems through 2 winters. I was surprised to find out how worn the tires were. If you follow the rule of thumb to replace tires when the tread gets to 4/32" then these tires would need replacing at 12,000 miles or less. My recommendation would be that the Dunlop Grand Trek PT21 are quite satisfactory for year round use until about 5/32" tread. I assume that the somewhat rapid wear is a reflection of the softer tire needed for decent grip in the winter. For replacement, I probably would look for either a premium all-weather tire for AWD or dedicated winter tires for FWD for an area with tough winters like we get in northern Alberta. If these come OEM on your AWD vehicle, you are good to go for at least one winter, depending on how fast you rack up the miles.

These 235/55R19 Michelin CC 2 tires were on a 2023 Nissan Rogue Platinum AWD from October 2025 until this September 2026 when the vehicle was sold. They were driven for a total of almost 5900 km, or 3666 miles. Let's put this in context: From June of 2023 until November 04 2025 I drove the vehicle with the OEM tires through all weather, including our long Edmonton Alberta winters. Never had a problem. Typically the worst road conditions are at the busy intersections where we get a lot of ice build up from spinning tires taking off from a light. The wife also had a 2023 Rogue Platinum AWD and I put Nokian WRG4 all weather tires on her car in October 2023. The theory was that if we got really bad winter weather or had to go somewhere where we might need great traction, we could take her vehicle. It was a good theory but turns out I never had to take her vehicle as I was quite comfortable with the traction of the OEM Dunlop Grand Trek PT21 tires. Last year she traded up to a 2025 Murano Platinum. Unfortunately she has 21 inch rims on that vehicle and I couldn't find all-weather tires in her size. That's why I then put the CC 2 tires on my Rogue. If the weather got bad, she could take the Rogue. Once again, the OEM tires served her well all through the winter. Focusing on the Michelin CC 2 tires, I thought they were marginally louder than the Dunlop tires on the highway but didn't notice any difference around town. Never noticed a difference in fuel economy, either. I'm more of a relaxed driver so I also never picked up on any appreciable handling difference between the Rogue OEM Dunlop tires and the CC 2. But I can say that we did have a real test at Christmas Eve. Edmonton caught a snow dump and it was still snowing when we went to my brother's for his annual open house. His house is on a street with a very steep hill so I was wondering how we would make out. Turns out we were just fine. Parallel parking was a bit tough as you couldn't tell where the sidewalk was because there was so much snow. I had to back up to get better aligned with the sidewalk. No issues with traction. I do believe that AWD helped. When I sold the tires, they had 5877 km or 3652 miles on them and still looked perfect with over 10 mm tread depth left. My verdict: I would buy certainly buy premium all-weather tires for an AWD vehicle for our tough northern Alberta winters, and the Michelin Cross Climate 2 would definitely be considered. For a FWD or RWD vehicle I would go to dedicated winter tires for that extra bit of traction for the 5 month winters we enjoy here. I've included pictures that I took for my ad when I sold the tires so you can see how well they held up.
