What make of All Terrain tyres have other X-Trail ST model owners fitted to your vehicle?
The ST model has 15" wheels and consequently limits my choice. I didn't realise, at the time of buying, that the Ti model had 16" wheels which would have opened up the market somewhat. Something to know for future X-Trail purchasers.

There is a fairly big discussion about replacement tyres

Covering both the 16 and 15 inch rims. The choices are greater these days, I used to run Bridgestone 693's (215/75R15 100s LT). A bit thinner, but same rolling diameter, $173 each, Disadvantage is a bit of road noise.
A few guys have put 694s on their 16 inch rims, which doesnt have as much road noise. But as I said their are more around for both rim sizes - including Coopers, BFG and OPATs.
The link is fairly long - towards the end of it is some comments about the load ratings that a couple of users have discovered a minor problem with

Forgot to mention my 693s were LTs but I think a couple of guys have mentioned that the 16 inch 694s are not LT - but thats easy to work out.
Hope it helps
