just ordered nitto drag radials
OK I did it I just ordered a set of nitto275/60r 15 tires for my 8in wide welds. any feed back on the nittos would be welcome. they cost less than the m/t drag radials also I was worried about a 295 fitting my rims and in the fender wells sence they recomend a 10in wide rim. I am thinking about polly bushings for my stock control arms and boxing in my lower control arms ANY THOUGHTS?????

RE: just ordered nitto drag radials
The Nitto's don't hook nearly as well as the BFG's or the M/T Radials, but will last a bit longer, and are still better than Regular old 40,000 mile street tires.. You should hook up just fine with them with the size you are getting, that's a big tire.. I would recommend just getting a set of aftermarket control arms, both up/low as they are inexpensive, and you'll never have to worry about them again.. Remember, don't forget about those torque box's...

rubber ones but get those for sure.
