Looking good, nice choice of tire. I've been running the Nittos for six or seven years now and still love them

I've been considering a set of 285's for a while now, but I don't need them. I just want to fill out the wheel well. Did the tires hurt acceleration much?

They are descent for an all terrain. I've went through hub deep sticky mud and didn't have any problems at all. Also went through an edge of a overflowing pond that went over the factory fogs and did fine.
