Is there anybody who runs these tires? I do not do any serious off roading, just looking for a new set of tires and looking for some feedback on them.

I put them on my towrig, in the 295/75/16 size. I've only had them a month, but they seem to be very nice on road. They suck in mud, or maybe my diesel towrig is just too heavy. Oh yeah, these tires are inexpensive too.

I have the LT265/75/16 load range D on my Taco. They look great and ride great with very little road noise. I have had them for almost a year, about 12k miles, and the tread still looks brand new. They have gotten me thru sand, mud, and snow when aired down properly.

Thanks for the responses fellas. I went and placed a order for the tires. I am going to leave feedback on them after i see how they ride.

Yeah, please do. I was considering them as well. They look pretty good, but the only one's I've seen are much bigger ones. I'm worried that a smaller size won't look as aggressive or work as well as a much larger version.

From another taco owner, BIGBLACKTRD says they are pretty good and they do look aggressive!

Well i got some tires in today. They look great. I would have them mounted and on by now but only 3 came in. Gotta love that fedex. Pics will be posted then.

285/75/16. I could not bring myself to buy the 265's. With the aftermarket rims 3.5 inches of lift and a lil pinch weld hopefully there wont be to much rubbing.

Been busy since i put the tires on with work and hunting, so here a pic of the truck. Haven't herd them rub yet but havent been off road. The tires ride great and dont make the ride any worse.

I've never run Nitto's on a truck, but I have on my car. They sucked big time for wet traction. I did get about 60K out of them though. All in all I don't know any one that runs a Nitto "performance" tire and likes it. You probably better off sticking with BFG, Goodyear.

How in the HELL can you compare a car tire to a truck tire.

How about trying this, keep your mouth shut unless you actually have experience in what the topic is about, novel concept aye?

I drove around all day in the rain today, probly got over 5 inches, and could not break the back end loose or spin the tires. So wet traction is not an issue.

I can actually vouch for that statement. Before I got my Taco, I had a little sports cars with the Nitto Extreme 450 Tires on it. They were squirrly when wet, but I got 50k out of them and drove them hard.
But I agree that this is comparing apples to oranges in this case, and Nitto's truck tire is awesome.

I am looking into buying some of these myself in the next week or so. I like the overal design of them and the cost is rather small for them I think anyways. I will have to see how well they hold up to my driving manners.

Don't get mad because I kissed your mom's peepee :D

Congrats on the tow rig, makes wheeling a whole new experience.
I'll probably hit the takeover for one day, I have to be somewhat of a pussy, because I am going to Tellico for a week, the week after the takeover.
