I sold the Pirelli's to someone on the board, so I gotta take care of them till my new ones show up. But might have to pressure test the new tires a time or 3!

I just mounted the Nitto 420's last week. I have a couple hundred miles on them now. I don't know anything about tires but one thing I've noticed with the Nittos (compared to the Pirelli's) is that there is a lot more play in the steering when cornering. The first time I cornered at speed I noticed that it didn't respond as quick as I was used to. I was told that this has to do with the stiffness of the sidewall on the tire. The ride is a lot smoother than with the Stock tires but I already miss the handling.

I paid $782 mounted and balanced for the Nitto's.

They are awesome looking tires though.
