    Stay away from nittos, wear out WAAAAYYY too quickly. Pick up some toyo ATs, really do last forever, put 30k on a set (before selling my truck) and still was only half worn. Always had great luck with toyo proxes on cars/lowered trucks as well, nittos are just way too soft to get any life out of them.

      I've had great luck with some goodyear duratrac's. 325-60-20 I have about 45k miles on them and I got them from discount tires and they said I'm good for another 20-25k miles but I do a lot of hwy driving. But if you are sold on nitto's I would try discount tires.

            My last truck and current Jeep has Mickey Thompson MTZ's on them and they are great tires. Not real loud but pretty aggressive looking and wear evenly. I have ran MTR's, KM2's, Swampers, Pitbull etc, but I really like these a lot.

                  Good luck 19s are just a rapefest.

                  Guy I work with just spent 1200 on some crap nittos(G35/staggered 19s), 8k miles later theyre almost trashed, thats TERRIBLE...

                    I think nitto and toyo are the same company

                      Also, any suggestions for 285/45/22's....? New ride has these and I need to start saving now for raping in about 30k miles. I think it has bridgestones on it now.

                        Had a customer with a chevy 07 truck duramax and bought a set of goodyear wrangler mtr. Thoose tires lasted him 70,000 miles. I wouldn't have beleived it if I hadn't put em on and taken em off 70k miles later.

                          Another vote for Goodyear MTR's. I've had sets last over 60k miles and they wear evenly. One time I was at a vato tire shop getting a flat fixed on my daily and saw a set of these that were brand new take offs. I have no idea where they got them from, but I asked how much. The guy said $300 and at first I thought he ment for each tire. When he said for the whole set I couldn't pull my wallet out fast enough.

                            They are, but for whatever reason nittos are a much softer compound...
