I've got about 10K on my Nitto's so far and they still look brand new execpt for the one from the back right
I'd say I could easily get another 20K out of these.

Ok, so 1 negative on wear and 2 positive. I emailed discount tires to get their opinion and see what they have to say. I just think the Nittos have the best looking A/T tire out there and for the price they look hard to beat.

I wrote that wrong...should say expecting 15000 more out of them. Forgot a word there, sorry about that.

The are softer rubber than the Bfg for sure and are more sensitive to roations and tire pressure. You can get them to last longer but if you are not carefull they will wear fast. A friend of mine put them on at the same time as me and had to replace the rears before 10,000 miles and mine were way better than his. He tows alot so he wasnt dropping the rear pressure from 50 (towing) to 30 (empty) so they wore out too fast. You can get a way with that a bit more with the bfg's. Also, the BFG's are better for soft sand/beaches/dunes

Do yall have swap meets where yall are at? I went to a one in houston and got a set of 315 bfgs for $400 and they only had 200 miles on them. I also bought a set last summer o 285 and got them for 200 and sold them for 300 after putting about 5000 miles on them.
