jack g Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Time for new tires on my 97 LX 450. Have Michilen LTX P -275 70R 16 currently. Mainly on road driving, would like something "meaty-er" on this "meaty" truck. Any suggestions on brand and size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill V Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I run a Bridgestone Revo in 285x75x16 with all stock suspension. Great tire. Not cheap but really well worth it for snow, offroad and highway use. Rides a little firmer but still like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97LX450 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I just replaced mine with Yokohama's 275/70R-16 114S RBL. Runs like a charm. Work great on slow crawl rock climbing. don't even have to push on the gas. . . it just crawls right on up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I narrowed my choices down to the Revos and Nitto Terra Grapplers. I went with the Nittos beacuse the based on the reviews were great, ratings on tire rack were as good as Revos, and the price was a bit cheaper. They have a pretty meaty profile to them.. look good, they are noisier than my previous highway radial. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the previous no-noise radials, 10 being the droan of a meaty mud tire, I'd put these at about a 4 or 5. Definitely noticeable, has gotten less with age (about a year old). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack g Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Thanks. What size are your Nittos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Thanks. What size are your Nittos? 265/75-R16. They are slightly narrower, but about an inch taller than the stock tire I had on, so I got a little bit of lift to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 come on Rookie...it's time you jumped up to the 285s :P Next round maybe. Baby steps... She's still my DD. :D Funny thing is, I got them from Discount Tire and they originally sent the wrong size... 295's. I didn't even notice until the tire installer came out and said "you sure these tires will fit :o "? With my no lift, they packed the wheel well. I had to send the back :( .
