Default Nokian Vatiiva Mt's

I just bought a set today off a private seller, 95% tread still can see the little rubber hairs on them.

Half the price of a tire shop in town.

31x10.50R15 so same size as what I have on now.

Il probly put them on around march.

Anybody have a set of these? I think mickey thompson mtz's are almost the same tire if not...

there was a thread about 1.5 weeks ago about the body lift. just go back a page and you should find it.



https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...body-lift.html here it is. the pic is half way down on the first page.

My girlfriends parents have always used Nokian's. The all terrians in the summer on their 04 4runner and 06 f150. Then in the winter the hakkapeltas. Im sure they're a good tire.

How do you like the Hankooks thunder? I almost bought them over the summer when I got new tires... maybe next time.

i love them. although i dont have anything else to compare them to since its my first truck and same tires when i bought them. but i cant complain. there def. more of a street preformance truck tire but do decent offroad. on light ice and snow you can keep it in 2wd if your easy on the throttle. but they handle fine when 4hi is engaged.

Do a burnout out on pavement, if both spin, its ls.


... Or you could just look at the build sticker in the glove box. But thats not fun lol.

Nice, I would love to have it installed in my truck this summer. Makes a huge difference in snow and mud.
