my rear tires are getting slick already and was looking for some new ones. i was looking at nittos tire NT420s or something like that. does it give good grip or better grip than regular all season tires. they are for my 22s. i dont care about tread life or road noise, all i care about is grip. :lol:

Nitto 555R. Their drag radials. Their the longest lasting (hard rubber compound) drag radials I know of. Might last 10K miles.

 

 

i searched for those in size 22 but i couldnt find none. found some for stock 17s but like a dumbass i got rid of my stock 17s. i could get them for stock 16s, think they will apply enough weight to the tire?

They make them up to 20" wheels last I checked.

:cheers: I'm confused. Do I think what will apply enough weight to the tire? If the road is dry these tires will hook with proper air pressure. It isn't like winter and putting weight in the bed...if that's what your asking.

sorry bout that. i know the weight of the truck will apply enough weight for the tires to hook, just realized that. i thought the stock 16s were gonna be light and the tires werent gonna hook well. totally forgot about the truck weight. will they be easy to do burnout with?

Its a drag radial man, it will hook without weight. Its a sticky rubber compound that hooks better than any regular street tire. You will still be able to do a burn out, but I'd only do that if your about to race to clean the tires. Really their made to be a D.O.T approved street legal tire you can drive on to the drag strip and race on.

here's my TBSS on the 20" Nittos during a test for Super Chevy Magazine (testing the DR's, should be in the next mag)

 

they hook on the street alot better than on the track, meaning like previously stated, they will last if you drive on them. they are geared for extra "street" traction not like MT ET Streets which will wear fast but hook like hell .

I was running 15-18 psi and they were a little lose, couldn't go WOT until 60' out and off the spray at least that far..

I have the 22" nitto 420-S on my truck and they are great the ride is nice. They grip like crazy on asphalt. They are very good on the wet roads as well. I have not had them on snow or ice yet hopefully i have my winter tires on before it get nasty out. lol Overall i would give them a 10.

Am i gonna get alot of milage fromt he NT420s? I need to replace my yokahoma spec x tires and was thinking of the Nittos cause i can get a really good deal on them. 285-40-22 for $129 a piece. I got 40,000+ on my Yokes now. I figure another couple thousand and i will need somemore tires.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
