Nitto Terra Grappler 285/75/16. MAN these things ride nice! Very quiet too. Of course, anything is better than the pizza-cutter Crapstones that I took off of it.

 

I'll try and get a couple of better pics tomorrow.

I bought them locally.

 

I tracked down the local distribution center for Nitto, called them, and since they don't deal directly with the public, asked who they sold to.

 

Then played the "can you beat HIS price" game with every place on the list. Took all d@mn day.

Looks great on your truck!  How's the clearance in the front?  Did you have to crank the t-bars?

Tbars were cranked before. I actually backed them off a little before I had the tires put on.

 

No trimming, no rubbing, plenty of clearance.

What air pressure are you running?  By the looks of that rear tire, it seems to be a little over inflated (crowning).  I'm judging that by the dust/dirt only being in the center of the tire...  The outside edge tread blocks seem to be alot blacker, which tends to mean the tire is only riding in the middle of the tread.

Yeah, I noticed that when I looked at the pic too.  :werd:  how you don't see that until you take a look at the pic.

 

They were at 55 psi. I dropped them to 42 this morning, and the contact patch seems to be a little better now. We'll see.

Whatever you decide to run in the rears, then put about 4-5 psi more in the fronts and you should be OK.

 

I just mentioned the crowning, because I didn't want to see you wear out the centers of your new tires...  :nono:
