Nitto or Hankook. Both have the same load carrying capicity,3750, Nitto has no warrenty, Hankook has 60000 mile warrenty. Any body had good or bad luck with either of these?

Thanks for any help..... Larry

I got 22000 mikes on my Michelin LTs with 40000 warranty. The cost to replace with the warranty was the same as new tires without a warranty when I originally purchased them.



Good hunting.

Of the two I'd go with Nitto.

Way back in the day a buddy got north of 60k out of a set of Sport Kings (some generic tire) on his 79 F250. Whoever put tires on my current truck (before I bought it) put load range D tires on it. I've driven about 22k miles since buying it. The fronts still have about 8-10 32nds, the rears are getting down to about 4ish, and I need to rotate them obviously.

I have the Nitto Dura Grappler on the truck and my trailer.

The truck rear tires have about 70k miles with I guess 3/32 left. Almost to wear bars, It is time for new ones.

The trailer is unbelievable, with 80k miles the tread is still 50% atleast.

I'll buy Nitto again

Went with Nokian Vatiiva from local Tire Factory, in stock size. 3 of the guys I work with have them on light trucks or SUV's, and say they are much better in snow mud and rain. Don't know yet for me, just got them.

You are considering Chinese tires?

 

[Cosmo]

I'm sorry, which tire is Chinese?

 

[Pakrat]

No China made tires...

 

[MRFost]

Nitro is Japanese, and Hancook is Chinese.

 

[Pakrat]

Hankook is Korean...
