Finally Got Em!! 305/70/16 Nittos

Finally got my new tires installed. I went with the 305/70/16 Nitto Terra Grapplers. Same height as a 285/75/16 but wider. They fit perfectly on my stock 16x8 rims. Look great too! Tire shop had some trouble balancing them but they worked till they got it right.

Handling of the truck has greatly improved. It corners alot better due to the stiffer sidewalls and seems to be more stable. Can't tell any difference in acceleration. I thought with the taller tire I might feel a difference but none so far.

I put the tire through some light mud and sand and I was greatly impressed with the way the tire performed. Behaved like a tire with a more aggressive tread.

IMO this is a great tire and deserves a look if you are shopping for a new set of rubber. Here's some pictures. (Still trying to figure out the digital camera)
