    Nitto 5 for 4 special

    Nitto tyres have relaunched in Australia & are offering 5 4x4 tyres for the price of 4 thru Bob Jane.

    I priced the Terra Grappler 2 in 285 50 20 at $330.00 F&B.
    The 265 50 20 were priced at $298.00.

    I just need some one to confirm if the 285's will fit!!!!.

    Photos would be appreciated.
    Cheers

    Visit Gordons Green Oval Experience website.
    He has a spreadsheet on there with all the size combos and what you need to make the bigger ones fit.

    Gordon's website indicates they will fit, however I have heard they are very close to the upper control arms.
    Cheers

    Nothing like steering a D2 with grunt and a 10% error due to tyre size

    That is a good price, about the same as I paid at St George Tyres about 18 months ago, add in 5 for the price of 4 and it's a great deal..

    These are very good tyres and for an aggressive A/T they run just about silent for over 20,000 k's. Mine are noisy now at 38k but plenty of thread left.
    Cheers,

    I chatted to a guy on the forum about the 285/50R20 Nitttos and he runs them but has the rods in full time. Apparently a bit of rubbing at full lock in access height. Normal height is fine no rubbing. This was on a MY13. I have a MY12 and went the 265/50R20 as we use access height all the time to get into the garage. Also wanted to make sure the spare tyre would fit in fully inflated. Note sure if the 285's will fit in. I second Terry's comments. Great tyre for the price and they hold on well to the road.

    Used to have a D2 with a chip & occasionally ran big Simex ET2's so know the feeling & still remember the noise
