Anyone running these tires. Thinking about 285/70/17's to replace my 295/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers.

My next tire will have the mountain/snowflake symbol b/c these Nitto's are not that great in the snow.

thanks

Nittos are the best tire i have ever ran in the snow. They are alot better than BF all terrains. Both were same size also, 285/75/16.

I've heard others complain about the Nitto's in the snow. I've had 3 sets, 2 on my previous 1/2 ton and my current sent on my dmax. I've found them to be quite good in the snow. Mine are the Terra Grapplers in 295/70/17, D rated tire.

I have the same tires @ 40K on them, they are worn down. I am looking for something with a more aggressive tread and sidewall. I think the Nitto's T/G are a great all around tire. I believe that there is a reason for the snowflake symbol on the side. Just my own opinion

Those Dunlops look nice, I wish they made them in a 285/75/17 or a 295/70/17. I do not want to drop down in tire height.
