Getting new tires

Wingnut · December 9, 2004

All three of these will cost about the same.

Please don't suggest other tires, as these are the three that I'm deciding between.

My Nittos have treated me great, so I'm not averse to getting another set.

Neighbor had the Baja Radials for about 5 months (traded truck in) and they were OK, but I'm not too keen on the looks.

I'm leaning towards the Cepeks, but was just looking for your opinions, good, bad, or ugly.

I'd go with the Nittos. I've never heard anything bad about them.

Well, no personal experience with any of the above (so I won't vote) but a buddy had the Mickeys (granted this was about 5 years ago) and had a ton problems with balancing and the tires wearing unevenly. Maybe it was just the set he got or maybe it was his truck ... but the BFG ATs he put on afterward were just fine. So yeah, I've not even considered those tires since then even though I personally like the looks.

I wouldn't personally buy any of the above so I didn't vote either. BUT, I did have a set of the MT Baja Radial once on a 4cyl Nissan x-tra cab 4x4 and while they went good off-road, they wore VERY fast and were dangerous on a wet road.

I work with a guy who has 33" Nittos on his unmentionable truck. He says they'll get him through anything and that they ride great on the street. I plan on getting a set myself whe nthe Toyos give up the ghost.

Yeah, I have the Nittos on there right now. And they do great in the sand (where most of my off-road takes place), but I can get smoking deals on any of the above 3 tires...So I was just asking if anybody had an opinion on the other two.
