Don't buy Nitto 420s

[Blazed]

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

Flamed...

But really discount will sell them to you for Tahoes no questions asked. So I think nitto was just blowing him off. Because I've towed so decently heavy trailers with mine and they are fine unless the 26" version are different.

flamed? I am not sure what you mean, but it was a legitimate question.
Different sizes have different ratings btw. I have them in 285 50 20 and they have a 116 rating.

I basically wanted to put a FYI out to anyone that has 26s. That this could happen with the tires But in my searching I see a lot of 26s tires only have a 109w. So I guess I have to suck it ip when I have went with this route. But just weird that I have had them for two years then all of sudden 3 of 4 tires just go bad. Nitto did come back and day to take to dealer and they will inspect the tire. But I am not going with the tire now just because of how ridiculously priced they are. So going with cheaper ones

Just talked with my buddy who is the store manager at one of the local Discount Tires. Had him quote me a price for the Marcellinos I want and for the 295/35/24 tires. He checked and told me they were OK to use on my XL. I asked about the Yoko's but he couldn't get them any time soon as they were out of stock in all his warehouses.

Brent....how many miles are on the tires?

 

[GalaxyBlackEsky]

I want say only 15k

Seems odd. I think Nitto needs to replace for free to make the customer happy

This is good info. Who would have thought a tire company so big would sell a big tire with such restrictions.

I order the wheels and tires from DT today. Should be here by Mon or Tues next week. Went with 295s. I'll just keep a close eye on them, I guess. I got the free replacement warranty through DT, just in case.
