I am keeping the ones that are on them now. Just in case I want to go play out in the desert or up North in the wintertime. They are not a winter tire, AT ALL.

Check out this comparison shot.

...what Bex didn't mention is that the Frontier rides AMAZINGLY smooth now.

Handling is improved, as was expected. If it wasn't a truck, it'd actually feel "tossable", but body roll and a light rear end keeps it from getting too playful.

Lots more rubber on the ground is always a good thing.

Next up: Catback exhaust. :dblthumb:

actually... to be fair... i've "tossed" my dad's 4x4 frontier around before and it felt MUCH better than expected... if it had bex's tires (not 20's though... sorry) i'd actually have some good confidence in it!

We're going to California next week. I'll let you know how it does on a long interstate ride. IMO, it was already the most comfortable vehicle we own.

What are you guys doing out here? What's the route look like? Friday night I'm probably going to have people over for my 4 hour smoked anti-sauce ribs and UFC if you're in the area.

Good question. I just got an odd email today from Nissan USA reminding me I haven't logged in that contest site since the 29th. Of course the contest closed on the 28th. Go figure.

I like the wheels :dblthumb:
