No, I haz GY ... I honestly have no complaints given last winter's experience. The truck came with Bridgestone tires on 18s when I bought it, then the GY on the 22s, and i honestly could not tell the difference grip wise.

I just think the Nittos look so beautiful on the wide 305 size, so I'm trying to get a sense of their grip level in adverse conditions compared to the spec tires.

Btw, it would really help me out if those of you who voted Nitto, shared your thoughts as to their winter driving efficacy. :waytogo:

The ONLY problem with Nitto 420s is that you need to keep them rotated often. They will tend to get a tire chop if they aren't rotated often.

I know they ride really well on the winters down here Serge.

Ugh, both manufactures rate their 305/40s for 10"+ wide rims and their 305/45s for 9.5"+ wide rims ... my 22's are 9".

Story of my life ... one inch too small for the rubber. :(
