changed Generals for Nitto's!!!

Well, after about 5 thousand miles and two flat tires (both requiring the tire be replaced), I went back to Discount Tire sick of the General AmeriTrac tires I had purchased....

I explained to him my dissappointment with the Generals, and wanted to look at swapping them. He ended up giving me full credit for the General's, and let me pay the difference on the Nitto Terra Grappler's...

The tires look Awesome!!!! There is definitely more road noise than the General's, but it's nice to know I've got some grip if I go off road.

What's the consensus on the Nitto's when driving on wet roads? The seem to really grip the dry pavement well.

Also, I want to take the truck in to the dealer, and get them to recalibrate for the new tires. Other than the speedometer, what else can I expect to be changed by doing this?

Thanks.

I got the nitto's on my truck I got the 305/70/r16's. I love them! They are a tad noisy but with the radio on you cant even tell. I personals think there wet traction is great. Unless you mash it at a light or mash it in a slow sharp turn. but other than that there great!
