rzauner Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Do the Nitto's wear well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garagemethods Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 just pay attention to how hard the rubber is. my dad is runnin michelin's and he has over 60k miles on em. so try and find specs on rubber type or grade or somethin like that. harder the rubber the less the wear.

rzauner Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 If the rubber is harder, will it affect traction in a performance truck? I've also made an appointment for an alignment check...Just to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big O Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Are they wearing uneven? If not then you are wasting your money with the alingment check. Harder rubber does hurt the 'bite' especially in the cooler temps but it is a trade off with mileage. Find a good compromise between longevity and traction. The harder the rubber the longer the lasting and the softer the rubber the more bite on the road. Pick your poison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rzauner Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 The fronts are cupping on the outter edge and they were rotated about 800 miles ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I have the same tires. Kuhmo's, same size. And I have a ton of miles on them.. Really don't have a single complaint. Especially, since they are as cheap as they are.. It does help that all four tires will spin up though. Keeps them wearing all the same.

dkkustoms Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 If I'm not mistaken, if the outer edges are wearing but not in the middle that is from under inflation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox_forma Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 toyo prox's as well with around 30k on them, wearing better than my stock tires and still have a bunch of life left. Also bought them used so they had even more miles on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
