Default Anyone running these tires?

Drove around about 10 tire shops trying to find some new tires. Unfortunately trying to find anything decent for 20" wheels is near impossible here in abu dhabi/ dubai. Don't really want to just chuck some off brand Chinese crap on it. In the end just contacted the only distributor here for nitro and working to get an order in for some dune grapplers 325/60/r20. Great looking tires and the desert reviews I have seen are pretty positive. Not brilliant on wet roads but not a problem here as we might get a couple hours of rain in a year... anyone have any experience with them?

There is a Big off road shop in Dubai called Green Autoworks.

Ask for Khader ( Manager ) and he will get you taken care of!

thanks for the tip.. called him and he helped a bit. Pointed me to the distributor here.. sadly still no joy.. waiting now for him to try and place an order. Tough because apparently because those tires are made in us they don't meet the specs to be used over here. But somehow the retread Chinese garbage is fine..

Have given up on the Nittos after several failed attempts to have them ordered in for me. Just ordered a set of General Grabber X3 Red Letters. moving up from 295/60/20 to 35x12.5x20. thought about going with 37's Cooper STT-Pro's but wasnt sure they would fit and I dont really want to trim.

It looks like something is wrapped around your tailpipe, what’s it for?
My guess is that with all the dirt and pebbles, that it keeps the chrome from getting damaged, but it’s just a guess.

Actually, it's just an AFE exhaust tip, a little cosmetic do-hiky that'll be coming off soon...

Okay, thanks for the reply. I couldn't really tell what it was.
Great looking truck you have there!
