I have read several reviews where guys have gotten 60K - 80K out of them. I drive a lot, so that would be good! LOL

I have the exact same tire in that size. They ride really well and are a good all around tire. I couldn't be happier with them. You're gonna love 'em. They look good on there man.

That was the reason I had originally wanted Mickey ATZs, I have always gotten crazy good mileage out of all my Mickey Thompson/Dick Cepek tires with a great ride and amazing resistance to punctures. I still almost bought them and probably would have if I could have gotten them for down around fourty more per tire. But an extra $280 per set was and is just way out of my budget right now.
Hopefully we will all see similar longevity out of our Nittos...

Tires look really good. The wheels i like for a mostly offroad machine, but for a nice newer truck like you have you need a bit of bling. They look ok though..

Looks nice, heard nothing but good things about the Terra Grapplers. Almost bought a set of Trail Grapplers but they were a little too rugged for what I use my truck for. Probably wouldn't last as long either.

They look good. I heard the same about the mileage on the NTG's, as long as they are rotated every 5k to 6k. I am having a set put on Monday evening, along with my new wheels.....and man am I impatient!! The level kit was done yesterday.

Great choice have the exact same ones. I think they fill out the wheel wells perfectly with a front level. I about just about to get them rotated the second time. I am planning on doing them every 6,000 miles or every two oil changes. That was the schedule that the shop recomended, and it seems a lot of people agree. You will love the ride over those skinny 20's!!

I bought them from Discount Tire. They said they would match pricing and I brought a quote for $172 each and they matched it.

So, for the four tires 295/70s, the road hazard warranty stuff, etc. it came out to $965. That also includes lifetime rotation and balancing. Not too bad I guess.
