Nice, I just got the same tires Friday. What a difference just in looks alone. I did the balancing beads instead of the lead weights, don't have to worry about re-balancing issues.

Definitely my next choice for a set of tires. Currently running the 285-75 Toyo AT's, the added width of the Nittos looks great.

That does look really good. I can't decide on what size to get when it's my turn for tires I like the 295 65 18 but Goodyear is the only company that makes them. If you don't have any rub at full turn with the 295 70 18 that might just be the size I will get.

I thought a 2010 had a bigger opening anyways. that said there is no rubbing at all and no tire wander. I also just drove in the rain here yesterday. the streets were slick since it hasnt rained in weeks. the truck drove great and stayed planted even under panic stop braking.

My lie-o-meter indicates about 1/2 mpg less, was 18.1 now 17.6. It seems to be off around 1/10th on the odometer, used to be 21ish miles to my buddies house that I carpool to work with, was 18.2 this morning. I need to get on a hiway with milemarkers to be sure, but thats what I came up with as a rough estimate. TXGSXR1K what are you running for psi? I have 54 in F. and 52 in R. right now, might drop it a little.

What gears you running with those tires? I am debating these tires but wondering if 4:56 gears would be necessary for pulling air boat (thing catches some serious drag).
