Well I just took them off to put my Esky 22's on to take some more pictures of my truck for someone. Well took them 26's off and 3 out of the 4 tires have bubbles on the inner sidewall. I talked to nitto and they gave me the stiff around saying that the 420s in my size can't handle the weight of the trucks. So I am ditching these things and not buying Nitto's again. Plus def not going to be buying 3000 dollar tires. I got extremely lucky when I got my old slides that they came brand new because of a screw up on the guy selling so I only paid 2200 for new slides and Nittos. So going to be buying something else. Just wanted to give you guys a FYI on that.

I have zero problem with this tire for 24s and I drive on them pretty hard and my friend has them for his 22s and they've lasted 2 years and are still going.

Maybe it's just the 26" tires..

check your Weight for the tires. They said ours is 113 a wheel and 420's are only weighted 109. First I knew of this. But some bs.

How do I check that?

I find it hard to believe that being that discount sells them to me knowing they'll be on a Tahoe. Ive been in the building when they told a guy he couldn't get the nittos for his f350.

This is kinda weird sounds like nitto is just trying to avoid the situation.

You bought tires that weren't rated for your vehicle weight? How is this Nittos fault?
