I dunno about them Nittos man...i know there's people on here that'd rep them but we used to run those on our jeeps cuz i mean...they're the sweetest lookin tires, but they didn't last for nothing. And thats on a weekend toy haha, let alone a truck you probably drive farely often. Now back then we usually used mud grapps but from the people i've talked to they stay away from nittos all together unless you really don't care about the $$$$

I have Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmors (275/70/17) and drive weekly on beach sand. Have yet to get stuck (or even bogged down really) with them, even in very very soft spots and fine sand. This is my 2 set. First set lasted slightly over 60k miles. I would never get anything else, just my opinion for my driving habits.
