I'd like a full set of Nitto's, but the budget is a l'il tight these days. I'm hoping what I've done makes for a decent DD, once the roads are dry, and salt free again. Thanks again for your help.
I realized the problem within two blocks of the tire shop. The braking acted totally out of norm and the truck did not drive well. That is why we went with the 265/50/20 tires and it seems to work. I do get some scraping on the front inner fender wells, but I have to be rolling hard and hit a bump on the highway. I am not too concerned, I just turned over 149,000 a couple days ago.
