Honestly, besides Michelin LT2's, these are the nicest All-Terrain tires I've ever mounted up. The BFGoodrich All-Terrains worked out very nicely, but they were stiff, bumpy, never balanced right and they are Godawfull heavy for their size. With the Nitto's you'll never have to worry about a wobble in the tire that is commonly associated with the BFG's.

There are positives and negatives to EVERYTHING in life...so if I had to say 1 bad thing about the Nitto's it would be that they're not holding up very long on my rock crawling truck...go figure. The sharp rocks are tearing through the soft tread and I will be replacing the rear tires soon (325/70R17's). I wont have to worry any longer though because I just picked up a set of BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain KM2's in the 35x12.50R17 size so now I'll be able to keep the Nitto's for everything except off-road. On the trails I'll bolt up the BFG's. But what do you expect? Beat the crap out of soft tires and expect damage done. Thank God for Discount Tire's warranty.

Lol my ***.

Unless you're related by blood within my household my discount doesn't apply. I myself get tires and wheels at store cost, and if a total bill for example comes up to $988.00 I just normally round up to $1000 to make checkbooking easier. Either way I'm still saving money because 988.00 to me would end up as $1300-1400 for you or any other customer off the street. My family under the roof I live gets a 10% discount, which on a system based on an 18-22% markup works nicely. Every single vehicle of mine and my family's has tires I put on.

Oh those types of discounts! Those you find in newspapers, magazines and ads usually as a promotion code "promo-code". I don't know of any at work, we usually don't keep the codes after their used.

I forgot about this, but a 305/50 shouldn't give you issues, but it all depends on wheel width/backspacing. I run a 20x8.5 with 5.25" backspacing, the wheels are Weld Racing Renegades. I think my torsion bars are cranked an inch at most, and I have no rubbing whatsoever. I only have about 6k on my setup, but they are still quiet, I do need to rotate them though. Definitely worth the money.






Sorry for all the pictures
