Nitto Terra Grappler 295/70R17

I finally put a set of these on my truck (2006 4x4 SuperCrew White w/Arizona Beige) with Moto Metal 951's in Black. I have a 2" AS leveling kit. I didn't think this combination would give me any clearance issues... I was wrong. They rubbed slightly in the front so I trimmed just a little bit. Other than that, they look great and ride pretty good and quiet.

What pressure should I be running these at? They were shipped to me from National Tire & Wheel at around 40 psi.

What kind of mileage are others getting out of these tires?

I'll try to post some pics later!

Thanks

your backspacing must be a little to the inside to make those rub. I know guys have ran 1.5 inch taller, and a inch wider tires with no rubing on a 3 inch leveling kit.

Are the tires "P" or "LT" tires?

and what load rating?


I typically run 44 PSI front, 42 PSI back with LT tires.


Then I give it about 1,000 miles and check for wear patterns. And then adjust as necessary.



There is no magic PSI for all tires and trucks. It's just something you gotta keep an eye on

I fit my 305/70/17 nittos under my truck with a 2.5 leveling kit. I have 17x8 wheels with 4.5 backspacing. I havent felt them rub yet.

They are LT tires and I believe they are D range.
