Nitto 850

[Juice]

Just picked up a set of these last week. 235/50 in the front, 255/55 in the back.

It's like driving a different car, they ride fantastic. They also drive in the rain like the road is dry. It's nice not having the funky sizes I had on there before.

[Juice]

$620 out the door.

Yah, not bad I think. They are also Z rated.

I added another pic to the first post, shows the tread.

Give us an update after you put a few K on them.

The stance looks about perfect.

Yeah, it's got a little bit of that raked look, I like it. Someday I might chop a little off the front springs, but as is it's not too shabby.

whats the difference between these tires and the 420S. i heard the 420S is for SUV's?

Where did you buy these? I'm trying to find a site that sells the nitto 850 in both front and read sizes with no luck. I'm finding a lot of sites that sell either just the front size or just the rear size. According to Nitto's site, our front size is rated for car usage and our rear size is rated for SUV/truck usage. That's probably why I'm having trouble finding a place that sells both. I'd rather not buy from two different places. Also, $620 is a good price.

The auto shop here on base found them, I don't know where.

These are good! I'd like some more info as I'm in the market for tires real soon.

Any updates on wear, etc.?

I am looking for new tires, and these are a bit cheaper than the 555's.

Thanks,

Mike.

I'll take a look at them tomorrow when it's light out and give you a report, and possibly a few pics if I can get home in time.

I could only get a decent pic of the front tire due to the poor lighting and the fact that I can't move the car. However, as you can see in the pic, there is plenty of tread left and I don't see any signs of abnormal wear. They have almost 8k on them.

If you want, I may be able to get better shots this weekend, just let me know.

The pictures of the front and rear tires from behind look like the front one's have a different thread design than the rears. Is that true ?

Wow these look alot better than the 420's. How is the sidewall "play/feel" compared to 420's?
