So apparently the Nittos on the ’91 were sitting on the rack for a long time before I bought them. They were only halfway worn down, but hard as rock. When Coronavirus arranged for an extra shot of government money, I had no trouble deciding where to put some of that.
Seems like tires are always a compromise of one sort or another, especially when it comes to the trucks. Cooper has a new design minimizing those comprises, for me at least. This tire runs smooth and quiet on the highway, with big side lugs to make it good in the snow, as well. Gonna have to break them in with a fall homecoming again this year.

I finally got to the point a few weeks ago where it felt like my back was healing up pretty good, so it was time to challenge myself in that department. Moving and mounting the 100+lb tires is probably one of the most physically demanding tasks I have around here. The only real difference now is I need a ramp to get them up on the truck. Got ‘er done!
91 Dodge is looking great! How many miles? I have been partial to Michelin tires but the Coopers are looking really good .
Sorry, just saw this, it’s barely broke in at 115k. And that’s the good side. 😉
