To quote a kick *** movie:

"And I am reminded, on this holy day, of the sad story of Kitty Genovese. As you all may remember, a long time ago, almost thirty years ago, this poor soul cried out for help time and time again, but no person answered her calls. Though many saw, no one so much as called the police. They all just watched as Kitty was being stabbed to death in broad daylight. They watched as her assailant walked away. Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men."

Yah when i get my rims i plan on getting atleast two different sets of locking nuts. its worth it to me to make them struggle to get them off the truck if they are that determined, usually tho they will just find a set near by that is unprotected.

I forgot that I took them to the tire shop the day before to have my Toyo's mounted

I LOVE these tires!!! I would never go back to a Nitto Mud Grappler again! These tires ride like stock, they don’t make the truck feel like it just died when you come to a stop, the road noise is cut in half, and they balance much better than the Nitto’s ever would of. Well worth the extra $$$

You were looking for a stock ride with an aggressive mud tire? J/p, nice tires, bad joke. The only tire I'd change to atm is an Irok and possibly the competition claw. Any noticeable increase in performance from deducted weight? Damn you sent these people into a rage. How do you feel about the look of the truck with these mounted?

yeah it was a bad joke. the iroks wear faster than the nitto's. i do alot of freeway driving and needed a loner lasting tire. i notice a bit of launch in the take off. i liked the look of the nittos, but i love the overall performance of the toyo's. i think the tires give it a pre runner type look. i can't wait until next month to try it out in the sand

Im glad your happy, BUT . .
  • My Nitto Mud Grapplers ride VERY close to stock.
  • What do you mean they make it feel like it just died?
  • My Nittos balance perfectly and this is my secound set. .

Anyways, they do look pretty good but not nearly as good as the Nitto MGs did!

Good one twstd!

I was even starting to worry about mine and they are in the garage every night.

btw, I love my Toyos too. About 4000 miles on them so far and they still feel great.

Sorry guys, but I could never ride Nittos. They are the loudest things I have ever heard. My buddy has them on his '04. The first time he rode in my truck and heard the Toyos he was ready to call the tire store.

I agree they're loud but so is any other aggressive M/T, plus I like it!
