I love these tires, but they rub at full turn either way. The guy at the tireshop said that it would not hurt anything since its only rubbing at full turn on the upper control arm....These are the LT285/55/22 Nitto Trail Grappler MT's.....Love them so far

They ride good. You can definetly tell that you are riding on some MT's though. They are a little bumpy sometimes, but I have only been driving on them since last Saturday. I love them though....they look a lot better in person. Originally I thought that these might be a little small, and that I would regret not going with the 35x12.50x22 Toyo's, but these thing are meaty..they eat up a lot of the wheel well...... I am really happy with my purchase.
