I've heard about some pretty bad wear with the Nitto TGs. I've also heard about great wear patterns. I didn't have mine long enough to tell you. I also rotate every 3,000 miles and thats at the longest. I'd seriously go with the Generals. The performance of them is going to put a smile on your face, especially compared to the Nitto TGs. My girlfriend has a set of the Generals Exclaim UHPs on her Mustang and they're simply amazing. I want to get a set for my Mustang and I just bought tires!

Seriously, just imagine how sexy that tire is going to look on your ride Hersh.

After seeing your truck, I really think you should pass on the Nitto TG's. Your truck would look much better with a street tire on it.

I already had the General's in mind... That's a downright sexy tread pattern, and it looks like it will do well in water. My main concern is the "V" rating, if they were "H" rated, I'd have no reservations.

But, at $113 for a 20" tire, they're hard to pass on... The only other tire I liked as much, I ended up selling to my cousin after I got the full court press from him. He wanted to buy my rims, and it came out of the blue. I'd intended to take my new tires (Pirelli Scorpion 275/55/20's) off, and put them on the new truck. But, once he saw them on there, I couldn't put the Goodyears on there.

I sold him the wheels and tires for $1,100.00- I'd just got the tires, ($880) and essentially gave him the rims for less than $75 each...

Is that in Monopoly money or real pesos? I'm looking at $800 - 900 for either BFG's (which I have now and hate) or Bridgestone's (which I LOVE).

If you want good off road tires, everyone I know who bought new ones with that in mind is using BF Goodrich. I put a set on the old Explorer, they do really good in the mud.
