ATTENTION: ANYONE WITH 420s!!

Then stop phucking running them on your trucks. LOL
Everyone that does knows they're not rated for the truck so don't bitch if something happens. I ran who knows how many 305/40/22's on my last truck from multiple mfgs. I never had the first issue but if I had I damned sure wouldn't blame the tire, I'd blame the idiot behind the wheel that decided to put them on in the first place.
That first pic isn't a damn pothole either. Have you ever seen a pothole with perfectly spaced jagged edges? Smart money says that was also metal, I'd bet it was some type of grating or something like that. Perfectly spaced cuts suggests a man made object.

What air pressure are you running?

So you're a non driving idiot too then?

 

[Jason]

No you ***king idiot. There is a difference in blowing out one tire, from a pothole in the middle of i35 at night, and repeatedly trashing a whole set of tires from hitting sht.

What if you kept hitting potholes at night?

 

[Jason]

If I was a idiot, and kept hitting potholes, repeatedly screwing tires up, and then bitching about it on the internet...yes, I would probably fall into that catergory.

Man, I got a wife and 3 kids, it takes a lot to rile me up. Just good hearted sht talk, no offense taken, or meant.

I dunno? Hopefully before this time next year haha. I wanna do full exhaust, a novi 2200sl, and maybe a set of cams. If I ever get it out of the dealer for warranty work, we might be able to start playing with it.

Explain the scuffs around the cuts... If I remember right the first pic happened when potholes were getting bad up here during winter.

Wasn't home over the winter. I got the tires and moved to nc right after. I'm glad everyone here is a tire pro and I'm just a ***in idiot who can't drive. Please tell me what I hit when my truck sits in a parking lot 90% of the time. If there's trash in the road I avoid it. If there's a pothole I drive around it or at least slow the down. I have no problem admitting something if I'm the one at fault but I bought these tires under the assumption that they were fit for my truck because everyone runs them. This is my first experience with a street tire on my truck so how the hell would I know? I'm not bitching about this because I know nitto isn't gonna get on here and say ****. What's the point of a forum if we don't post experiences with our trucks.

 

[UNBROKEN]

I'm 100% in favor of posting experiences with our trucks...as long as blame for failures goes to the right place. You're still saying those are tire defects and they're simply not.

 

[madman1234509]

And the fact you're telling people to stay away from them.... This isn't a common problem. I hope you have better luck with whatever you decide to do.

I've never had a problem with 420's. But I am doing proxies next.

Never claimed I was a tire expert, or that you can't drive. But I do know what scuff marks on a tire look like. That's why I asked swinky to explain them after his one comment

 

[HOLDERDOWN]

This escalated!

It is weird tho...you being the only one having problems with these tires that aren't made for our trucks

What Proxes are you going with Morgan?

I honestly haven't looked. Probably whatever 305/40/r22 they have. My 420's will be about shot after this season. Plus the proxies just look so good!

Our local Discount Tire sells the 275/55 R20 Nitto 420 for $120 a piece. Less than $500 is hard to beat for a set of tires. It definitely makes justifying burnouts easier.
