Nitto NT420V All‑Season Performance Tire
Meet the Nitto NT420V, built for drivers who want confident control and everyday refinement in one tire. Its asymmetric tread blends stable outer shoulder blocks for precise cornering with inner elements that boost wet road grip. Wide circumferential grooves move water away to help resist hydroplaning, and optimized pitch sequencing keeps cabin noise in check. A durable all-season compound supports reliable tread life for daily use, delivering a responsive, composed ride that looks as good as it performs.
Key Features & Specifications
The NT420V uses an asymmetric layout with wide circumferential channels to clear standing water from the contact patch. Sturdy outer shoulders add stability during lane changes and on-ramps, while inner lateral grooves and dense siping supply extra biting edges for all-season traction. A balanced compound is tuned for predictable wear and consistent grip across temperature swings. Many sizes add reinforced constructions for modern, large diameter wheel fitments, which helps deliver responsive steering, confident wet road manners, and a quiet ride.
Wet, Dry, and Light‑Snow Performance
On dry pavement, stiff shoulder blocks and continuous ribs promote stable handling and confident braking. In the rain, two wide circumferential grooves and multiple inner channels move water away to support traction and hydroplaning resistance. In light snow, dense siping offers additional edges to grip packed surfaces, but this is not a dedicated winter tire. If you see regular sub-freezing temps or frequent snow and ice, a purpose-built winter set is the safer choice.
Sizes, Fitment & Ratings
The NT420V comes in a wide range of popular, large diameter sizes for performance-oriented fitments. Representative options include 305/45R22, 285/45R22, 305/50R20, and 295/45R20. Speed and load ratings vary by size, and many carry V or W ratings with higher load indexes for today's larger wheel packages. Always confirm the correct size, load index, and speed rating on your vehicle's door-jamb label and in the owner's manual, and match them on the tire sidewall.
Popular NT420V Sizes
Shoppers often choose NT420V in sizes like 305/45R22 for large wheel applications, 285/45R22 for a balanced ride and response, 305/50R20 for added sidewall comfort, and 295/45R20 for a wide, planted contact patch. The right choice depends on your original equipment specs and driving goals. For sharper steering and a sportier feel, stick with your OE size and speed rating. If you want more comfort or a stance change, consult a fitment expert to confirm clearance, load capacity, and speed rating compliance.
Pricing, Warranty & Value
NT420V price varies by size, construction, and availability, and seasonal promotions can add value. Coverage typically includes a limited warranty for materials and workmanship, and select sizes may include a limited treadwear warranty with terms that depend on size and usage. Follow rotation intervals, often 5,000 to 7,500 miles, keep alignment in spec, and maintain proper inflation to preserve coverage and extend tread life.

Real‑World Reviews: What Drivers Say
Driver reviews often note a quiet, composed highway ride and stable cornering at typical commuting speeds. Many also praise wet-road behavior in heavy rain when the tires are properly inflated and rotated on schedule. As with any performance-leaning all-season, light snow traction is workable but limited, and severe winter conditions call for dedicated winter tires. Results vary by vehicle, size, and maintenance, so check reviews for your exact fitment to set expectations.
NT420V vs. NT420S: What Changed?
Compared with the older 420S, the NT420V features a refreshed asymmetric tread aimed at sharper steering feel and more confident wet traction. Many NT420V sizes target modern, large diameter wheel fitments with updated speed and load options. Both are all-season performance designs, but the NT420V pattern and compound are tuned to better balance road noise, stability, and year-round grip. If you are moving from the 420S, verify your OE size and ratings, since the NT420V lineup may better match newer specifications.
