lol i would but theres only 2 other places in town that carry nittos and they are like 200 bucks more. i think that if i go in there and tell him the exact size he could do it, but i didnt know what the metric size for a 35/12.50 was so he asked the guy on the phone. if a MT that big can fit ik an AT can

I had a hard time convincing the shop here as well. I just kept telling him "I have seen them on identical trucks, they will fit, trust. Order them now please."
When I brought the truck back to install them, they told me "No way those are going to fit without rubbing." lol

its between the 325/60, 325/65, and the 295/70s. i was lookin at the 305/60 and they are almost the same as the 325/60s. only difference is the 305s have a little less tread depth and they are about a half inch shorter and thinner. looks like theyd both be called 33x12.50s. i dont want the truck to look completely stuffed but i dont want a tiny tire either. if im spendin the money on new tires i want bigger meats

Yeah I was just looking at the 295s as well. Discount doesn't carry them though, blah. Stockers are 32x11 +- .2" or so per different tire brand.

If your not looking for a mud tire, look at the Hankook DYNAPRO ATM's. Its probably my next tire, theres alot of oil trucks running them right now that I know of and they been happy with them in the snow/mud/rain. The price doesn't seem to be half bad either...

yea, i want an AT but i want a bigger tire with a sweet lookin sidewall. tha hankooks dont have alot of bigger sizes in an 18. the nittos terra grapps have alot of choices and are the cheapest brand name tire if found at like 200 or less a tire

i like the looks of the nittos and ive seen both in person. nitto has more of a modern stylish/street look and the atm is more like an average sidewall. plus ive heard better bout the terra grap and more people seem to have it

Great tires! I run some on my company vehicle. I believe they have a 50,000 mile warranty too.
