Talking New Tires and they aren't cooper ltzs

Got new shoes for my truck today! Decided to go with Nitto nt420s...love the asymmetrical tread pattern. Rides great and grips the corners pretty good too.

Lets see...in the "near" future I'm hoping to get that rear end dropped to level, probably should get an anti-sway bar back there while i'm at it, tinted tail lights, painted calipers, hella 500s, fender flares, painted mirrors and door handles, possibly a new head unit. Geez man...I'm trying to get most of this done before I move to tampa in june...we'll see. But first gotta put on new brake pads (hawk lts) on the front...tire guy showed me how worn down mine are...ordering the pads now as we speak.

That will be a nice little drive out to tampa (assuming your driving the truck). When I moved from Va to seattle I drove the truck. Was a fun little road trip

Good luck getting all that done in a month. Sounds like you'll be busy

those are the tires I had on my lightning...I really liked them, handle really well in the rain and held up until I sold the truck. As long as you dont squeak them around the corners haha

make sure and get them switched and balanced every 6 mo or so, they will wear funny if you dont

Yeah I'll try...I know its a lot but if I can get most of it done I'm happy. Not sure about driving...I would like to but we'll see, I may end up having it transported my wifes been in chicago for this last year so I am trying to coordinate both of us moving to tampa from two separate cities BTW your new sig showing the new speed grill rocks!

LOL...can't hit the corners too hard with the rear up there and no anti-sway bar. But hopefully soon. Glad to hear these perform well in the rain, a lot of the info I had been reading seemed to confirm this. Also according to Nitto because of the tread pattern these can be rotated front to back and side to side.

Those are the treads I been lookin at for when I get new wheels, the price is right and they seem to be really really good tires. Do you drive very aggressive? I'm really really curious as to how these handle on a big ram being driven like ya stole it I do that a lot lol
