Buy the nitto 420s. You won't be sorry.

I still got 10,000 to 15,000 miles left on mine, I did end up parking the Marauder last year for a month while waiting for rear tires to come in. That was no fun. :flamer:

I've been running the 255-55-18 KDW2's on the rear. I've been happy with them.

Uniform Tire Quality Grade
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) Uniform Tire Quality Grade Standards (UTQG) were originated to provide consumers with useful information to help them purchase tires based on their relative treadwear, traction and temperature capabilities.


These are BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDWS from Tire Rack

IMHO the BFG's are all crap! I went with these on the rear and will be getting them for the front shortly.
