I'm getting a Squealing sound coming from the truck when im wide open until about 55mph, I was going to try to keep it wide open but had to go half throttle around 60mph because of the curve, Any Idea Fella's?







Also does it from a 30 mph roll.. Damn V6 Fords!

Lol, I'm loving these Nitto's! There was several times with the Coopers I would do the same thing and they spun so hard it it wouldn't shift and bounce off the rev limiter a few times.

Not looking forward to replacing my OEM tires. Looks as if I'll get about 35,000 out of them.

I'd recommend the Nitto 421s over and over. Very quite on the road and they are the same weight as the OEM tires. 75k warranty also. Think I paid 150 a tire from discount.

I was also, but these have 5k more warranty and was about 200 cheaper than the Michelin's. Hard to beat a Michelin though!

The last tires I bought were Toyos that were heavier than OEM tires. I lost about 1.5 mpg when I put them on. The tire was great for handling, just cost a lot for gas over the life of the tire. Would like to avoid that if possible.
