New Tires...finally

I finally had my tires mounted last night. I went with the Nitto Terra Grapplers, 265/70/17. After all was said and done, $506. So far, so good. For those of you that were asking some of the same questions that I was but couldn't get answers, I'll try to keep this thread updated. Things like dry traction, handling, wet traction, snow traction, and most importantly, treadlife. After only about 100 miles...

Noise...NO PROBLEM! Up to 95mph on the highway...no noticable difference over the stock POS's.

Dry traction...great.

Handling...exceptional, very little roll/flex while cornering.

More to come...

Wandell...I thought you'd agree!

But we'll see. The one thing I could not get information on was treadlife. Time will tell.
