Default Nitto' on the rig!

finally after all this time got some nitto grapplers mounted up today. Due to gas prices i just got the stock size but i am pretty happy with them and like the new look! You all obviously know i see a difference more than others but its still pretty cool! I have traction again!!!

Bloody good rubber there buddy!

I know a few who have the Nittos and swear by them. How many miles did you have on the dunlops before they were worn down to the bologna?

I Had 26000 on them and the back were only half worn but my front end was out of alignment so the fronts were toast. I will rotate religiously now to prevent this and i got an alignment so i should be good too go.

Even with the lift, Sonic has never even seen an alignment shop. I do not think my tires wear uneven, but with two sets of tires, it is harder to tell because they get switched every time they are swapped. (Hey that sounds kinky).

How do tire companys give out 80,000 mile warranties anyways?

I think the only way you can get the miledge that they say the tires get is if you drive like my wife, Slow and sure and only 5 miles a day. Her tires never even get warmed up. The last ones had 60,000 on them and besides the neighbor flatting them for me.... They were getting old and kinda rotten/cracking.

I had real bad alignment. You could see the it if you looked for it.
