    Nitto 850

    Just picked up a set of these last week. 235/50 in the front, 255/55 in the back.

    It's like driving a different car, they ride fantastic. They also drive in the rain like the road is dry. It's nice not having the funky sizes I had on there before.

    The stance looks about perfect.

    Yeah, it's got a little bit of that raked look, I like it. Someday I might chop a little off the front springs, but as is it's not too shabby.

    Where did you buy these? I'm trying to find a site that sells the nitto 850 in both front and read sizes with no luck. I'm finding a lot of sites that sell either just the front size or just the rear size. According to Nitto's site, our front size is rated for car usage and our rear size is rated for SUV/truck usage. That's probably why I'm having trouble finding a place that sells both. I'd rather not buy from two different places. Also, $620 is a good price.

    Any updates on wear, etc.?

    I am looking for new tires, and these are a bit cheaper than the 555's.

    Thanks,

    Mike.
