New Nitto's installed

[boarder]

The picture in the alley is has no incline whatsoever. It's as flat as the street. The first ones in my girlfriends driveway is an incline though.

Strange, it looked as if it had an incline on the 90 degree angle Nitto shot (the shot am looking for). BTW, thanks for sharing the pics. Its definitely making me think of getting the Nittos.


As for boarding, I use both Ride and Burton bindings (depends on which board I am riding). I really do like the Burton capstrap based bindings. It gives a much better feel than standard front strap bindngs, and it doesn't hurt the toe if you tighten it up.

Ride has an equivalent version of the capstrap (I added some to mine), but I still like the Burton version a bit better, not sure why. You can always buy the individual replacement capstraps separately, but they are harder to find.

Yeah, I'll probably get Burton bindings, just because I have always loved their gear. I'll wait and get them when I get new boots so they match good, and get a color binding that goes with the blue/white board. Most likely all black, or black/silver.

This is still somewhat on topic, but are Revo's really soft by comparison to other tires? They are already showing some signs of wear on the outer tread blocks, like they are folding over a lot in turns and getting chewed up. Tires are at normal pressure or filled a little higher since it's really cold here and all my tires seem to deflate a little the colder it is.

Tires lose pressure in cold temps because air expands/contracts with air temp. So if you filled them when it was relatively warm, whenever the temp is lower than when you filled it, the psi is lower. It's something like 1-2 psi per 10 degrees. Plus they lose pressure over time by seeping through the rubber.

The wear could be from turning too fast, or not being perfectly aligned. Not sure if they are actually softer than other tires, but they may have a lower ply rating.

You're going to love these tires in comparison to the Dunflops. The minor rubbage at full turn is normal due to the taller tires. I think spacers would probably get rid of the rubbing.

 

[josh220]

I doubt I'll get wheel spacers, I don't want any added stress on my truck.

Thai, they have a "P" in front of the tire size, so it's the passenger rated ones.

Anyone know how much I should sell my dunflops on Ebay for? They had 6k miles on them.

 

[Falls]

You'll be fine with the P rated .

Josh, hows your lift treating you? It looks AWESOME with the tires... but hows the ride, and also, no more stress? Does the lift add undue stress on the truck?

Thanks man!

And I have RideEX bindings, I love them. You should check out, the-house.com. AWESOME, AWESOME prices!

The lift is by far the best mod I ever did, and it even looked awesome with the stock tires. I just wanted a bit more of an aggressive look and wasn't too happy with the wet traction on the Dunflops, so I got the Nitto's.

As for the stress, there are quite a few threads about the driveline angles being affected by lifts. Although most are in agreement that 2/1 is safe, I just don't feel the need to put spacers on as well to add to that factor. I have nothing against them at all, I just want to play it safe.

J - rig looks great, I like the blacked out tires, they go good with the whole look of the truck, very clean. Good stuff!

Mythbusters need to do a segment on spacers.

 

[Falls]

I agree about running spacers.

I don't understand why the would rub though. I have the same size tires on my unlifted truck and they don't rub .

I dont see how that would be normal with the 2/1

I don't think it was rubbing, because I have made a full U-turn in both directions to see if there was any, and there wasn't. It must have just been a fluke noise when I pulled out of the driveway. Or maybe it had something to do with the left tire being flexed at the same time it was turned to the max.

 

[Falls]

If your tires are "P" rated ( which will be fine ) maybe thats why I was quoted higher because the one's I priced out were "C" rated .

I would like to try those tires , but only 1 place local and I don't want to do the shipping and someone install them thing.

 

[josh220]

Should I be fine running something like 40 psi in them?

Why 40 psi?? I would either run at whatever your door jam sticker says or at 35 psi (which is a safe psi for most AT tires in 32-33" sizes).

It's not possible to run what the door jam recommends with tires bigger than stock. Unless you enjoy driving around with the tire pressure light on. 35psi is the minimum, so I was thinking about going higher to get a little mpg increase.

 

[KellyJ]

I dunno if that is the smartest thing to do, to drive with over inflated tires. If you know that the only reason your TPMS light is on is because of your new tires, why not just inflate to what the door pillar says and ignore the light?

 

[04 sc V8]

Yeah, I agree that driving around with over inflated tires is a bad idea. It will cause increased tredwear, less than rated traction ability and a poor ride quality. I would run them at 32-35 psi no matter what warning lights come on.

 

[josh220]

I'll just leave them at 35 then, and hopefully it won't get cold enough to set off the sensor too often. I would be annoyed with the sensor light on all the time though, so I'm not going back to 32psi. Why do people on this forum run theirs at 40+ psi if it is so dangerous?

 

[RonMAIDEN]

How many people do run their tires at 40psi? I run my Nittos at 35psi and I don't have any wear issues. If you di run 40psi you'd start wearing in the middle much quicker but it is just good to pay attention to your wear and adjust pressure accordingly. I ran 32psi in my Nittos when I first got them and they seemed a little flat looking and I was getting wear on the edges more than I liked but 35 seems to be about rght for my truck.
