you will love the tires. there is no real drawback. other than for me, going from a stock diameter to these made the acceleration a little slower. the looks offset the loss in acceleration.

Now I have a new problem. Discount tires and Bell Tires say they can't get the tires for a month or two. Is there a place that can get these very popular, very cool, out of stock Nitto 285/60/18's? Where did you get yours?

I'm running with the 285/60R Sumitomo HTRs on my 18"rims...work & look great tho they look so huge I feel it needs a lift kit now!! They did require minimal trimming on the front edge of the cladding to keep from rubbing on sharp turns...

Here's a link for a look:

Thanks. Yeah, I tried them today. They said there is a 4-6 week wait. Winter will be half over by then. I'm thinking I am going to have to find some other tires. Soooooo depressing. If anyone has any idea where I can get some Nittos please tell me!
