Those things look sweet. I wish they made them in my size.

Still looks awesome! What are your initial thoughts on performance since you switched? Have you run a full tank through to calculate mpg?

Those things look pretty dang sweet. And thats even with the less "aggressive" sidewall. How are you liking them so far? What did you have before?

Really? I know you have them yourself, but on Nitto's website as the aggressive side having a "v" shaped sidewall lug.

Its really nothing more than the long lugs raising into a point at the middle instead of being flat.

Yeah the more aggressive side has v shaped lugs on the side. Also the lettering is different. The "T" in Trail has a point at the bottom of it

Ya I put this lug pattern on because everyone I saw that had the Trail Graps were running the V-shaped lug pattern. I wanted to be different. I also thought the V-shaped looked sweet but felt like the squared shape made it look more aggressive and beefy if you will.

I havent run a full take through yet. I will be filling it up soon and will be sure to check the MPG. I know it will be worse but how much? I was originally running the stock BG Goods AT they didnt wear all that great and at 41K which is what I am at they where darn near bald. I hope I can get about 30k-40k out of these Nittos.

They say thats the "aggressive look" but if you compare the depth of the side lugs on both sides the side he is running has more "aggressive" lugs on the outside. Same way im running mine. Guess it depends on what you call aggressive. Do you want something that looks aggressive or something that actually is.

I see what you're saying. I was just just going by what the Nitto site says. They consider the alternate side to be the aggressive side.
