    If you by them from joe smo on ebay yeah. If you by them from a store that also sells on ebay you still get you warrenty.

    All in all its the way you drive a how you take care of you tires. I had bfg and goodyear i will not buy because i trashed a set of each. I tryed nitto for the first time and they are working well for me. Now that said i rotate them every 5000 i did not do that with the other tires....but i also didn't wheel to much with those either. After researching tire for my taco the nittos were 509.00 delivered and 60 more to install. The local shop wanted $888.00 now mmmm.... let me think $379.00 differance for warrenty purpose, i don't think so. Anyway how many people actually use a tire warrenty??
    If you shread them on rocks..... well what do you think is going to happen. To shread tire on rocks you have to have some high wheel spin going.

    hey wanted to get in on this conversation about Nitto TG tires, you guys are freakin me out cuz I just bought my first set of NTG's.... I just lifted my 05 taco 4x4 3" and bought a set of NTG 285/75/16 tires and having them installed tommorrow and now i'm worried they wont last or something.... by the way, paid $620.00 out the door at Discount tire direct.... , that's pretty badass .....I believe they will rub on my UCA's and I will need spidertrax 1.25" wheel spacers or after wheels with less backspacing like 4.5" BS or something like that......

    As long as your alignment is correct, they will be fine.

    :D I mostly take mine to the sand dunes also! Dumont Dunes to be specific. I'll tell you from experience that the Nitto TG does extremely well in the sand even without being aired down, I've climbed the finger dunes in 4x4 without digging in. I've also taken them on regular trails and I have no damage. I even have the P rated, which has a softer sidewall than the LT's.

    My bf has the BFG KM2 muds on his truck and they dig into the sand something terrible even on the flats, granted its a full sized truck, but he has to be more careful now than when he had Toyo's (same company as Nitto). He also has really bad road noise and the ride quality sucks, he hates them and will be going back to Toyo/Nitto as soon as these wear out.

    I haven't been to Pismo, but I'm leaving for Coral Pink Dunes this morning.

    Said they were GOOD all around tire for mixed conditions. Never said or implied NTGs were best tires on the market. Didn't even buy them, they were already on the truck. Same thing goes for BFGs, just because you have those doesn't make them the end all for everyone. How is asking about other options & info trying to cause a fight?

    NTGs might be a grand where you work but less than 800 is what I've found & that's without lookin around much at all, chief.:rolleyes:

    i paid 120 to remove the tpms from my stockers, reinstall the bfg's on them, take the tires off of my new rims, put the tpms on them, and then put the TG's on the new rims.
