'11 is going to need tires soon, suggestions?

Chawkins6789, your talking about the nitto nt 420 s right?

[Chris]

Yes. The one you have pictured. But I will be getting them in a 285/45R22 or a 305/40R22

They are more of a performance street/summer tire. It rarely rains where I live so they are good for me

285/45R22 or a 305/40R22

I can't imagine what the tramlining and handling must be with those sizes! My dad use to have 305 on 20's and it was a nightmare.

[Chris]

I am going to have it on a 22x9.5 wheel. The 285/45 is what GM uses for 22's

Well I bought them, just a few hours ago, they have a ton of good reviews and its got better ratings then the oem tire, they got excellent wet/rain traction, and poor ratings in the snow, it don't snow here in Texas. Nitto website says its an all season tire…

[Chris]

What size did you get. I hear bad things about the OE Goodyear LS2. I have cooper Discoverer H/at Plus in 275/55R20. I like them but I need a little softer tire

I got 275 55 r20, hopefully they live up to the reviews and to my expectations, they look great and heck for under $700 it's a steal!

I now always check to make sure my tires aren't made in China! I won't say the brand, but, in small print - Made in China - brand name ties too! And were junque! Started disintegrating at about 17k miles, made noise, just bad. Well, you got yours already, so hope they are good.

[Chris]

What brand were they. I'm in the market soon

[Chris]

That's what I have now

Nitto tires are actually toyo tires, yes toyo is Japanese but Nitto is actually headquartered in California, do the research, Nitto's are made and manufactured here in the U.S., aside from the actual tire stating "made in the U.S."

My research ( yes I did my research before proceeding with my purchase) also suggests that the tires are made in the U.S.

 

Thank you for being concerned…

[GuyGene]

No, jd, I wasn't talking about Nitto, etc. Having lived in Japan over 25 years, I know Japanese products quite well, and usually they are high quality. Okay, so the tires I am talking about were simply made in China, and not good. Actually (even though I try hard to buy made in USA), if quality is the best, hey, I'll buy Tanganyikan made! I'm patriotic, but even more patriotic to me own wallet.

[jdelrizzle]

Well there it is.
