Well, I have put over 4000 miles on these tires so far. As a reminder they are on my wifes 08 Yukon XL. I keep 37 PSI in the tires. I have dropped roughly 2 mpg since I put these tires on. They show no wear so far.
I only have one comment, although not negative, they feel like they grab too much! I know it sounds crazy. Still feels like I need more pedal to get moving and sluggish. I think this weekend I am putting 45 PSI in the front tires and go for a drive. Just seems abnormal for me to put over 40 PSI but....
I still love these tires. When my Pirellis are toast, if these tires hold up as well as they seem they will, I will be buying a set for the Ford. I got a heck of a deal from my local NTB. Maybe a little more pressure will bring my mileage back up by reducing some tire to road resistance.

Just picked these up for my my00 Expedition 4x4 xlt. Very nice looking and ride real smooth. Paid $709 out the door at tire kingdom including lifetime balance rotation and tire hazard as well as one year alignment It was part of the buy two get two free coupon. Good looking tires
Could you tell me what PSI they put in your tires and if you feel like you have to give it a tad more gas to get moving? Read my post above and it will explain why I am asking. Your expedition should weigh similar to my Yukon XL they are running under.

Well mine are a little bigger than yours but I'm running 45 psi right now. The max on the tire is 80 so don't worry about putting 45 in. If you draw a line on your tread with chalk and then drive forward a few feet then look at the line it will show how the tread is hitting the ground. If it's on the edges you need more air and if it's only in the middle you need less. If the line is the same width as your tread you know you've got the right pressure.

I still don't have too many miles on mine, as it's not my DD. I can say though that they're very quiet and pretty smooth. As smooth as a 4x4 truck can ride.. I'm happy with them so far.

Okay I cannot even find these on official Nitto Website. Googled them and found separate website call nittocrosstek.com but strange they are not on main site

They have a different website for them it looks like. They're kind of different than the rest of the Nitto line so I guess they separated them out. They're really built for heavy duty trucks not 1/2 tons, and they're basically a highway tire so they don't really fit in with the Grapplers or the car tires. They're definitely not a counterfeit Nitto tire or anything..
