Tires NITTO or NANKANG
Looks good. I did 275/60/20 E Range Recons back in January and have about 5k on em. Only one issue was the past few weeks I had a slight leak that ended up being three very small punctures from some framing nails. Plugged em myself and haven’t had an issue in a week so we’ll see if I fixed it.
Still no appreciable road noise, and the only noticeable mpg drop is in the city going light to light. On flat hwy the mpgs went down maybe 1 mpg over 120 mi. I’ve aired em down and taken them out on the beach and they performed perfectly. They’ve been on some back mountain roads in WV and had much more traction than the stockers.
Now, with the E rated tires vs the stock Goodyears, I did notice that the rear spin a LOT easier in the rain.
I wanted more aggressive tires but didnt want LT tires. These only weigh 48lbs compared to the Hankooks at 42lbs. I drove over an hour home from Discount and they handle great and no more road noise than the Hancooks.
Nankang's FT7 tires are good, cheap and can take quite the beating off road without shredding to bits. You won't need M/T tires for your usecase.
Nitto NT555 G2s call for 35 psi
For what it's worth, I've loved the Nitto Neo-Gens. Have been flawless in the rain plus very quiet and decent adhesion all-around.
Nitto neogens ???????? thank me later
Have a buddy that owns a tire shop and ran these for a a few years to put his money where his mouth was since he was recommending them to his customers. He said they were no Michelins, but were well worth the price. Seemed to hold up pretty well and his only real complaint was noise. Moreso as they got on in age, but otherwise, he thought they were better than decent. :thumbup:
I ran some a few years ago. The road noise was pretty bad though.
I used them on my work truck and didn’t like how fast they wore out on the road, and I didn’t find they were any better than my KO2’s in the mud/snow/off-road. I got 40,000 miles out of them before I got newer tires.
Love nittos on my other truck, but for the raptor theyre terrible, horrible in rain, loud, and heavy as a mf.
