That's the second time that I've heard about the Nittos and their quality (ease of balance, etc.). I wish that there were some out there that I could use.

As it stands, I am looking at 245/75R16 Goodyear MT/Rs for summer rubber.
I can't run fat tires up here -the roads are really rutted and the VX gets tossed about too easily. I look like I put away a few before I got behind the wheel. I figure that I can pick up the handling (and looks) with the wider track, but maintain stability and speed with the skinnier tire.
