there ya go...i don't know who carries them...but that is a bfg drag...the best hooking out of the nitto and the bfg...tread wear is a little less though...i'll see if i can find a nitto...
edit:can't find a nitto...only choice is bfg i guess...also mickey thompson has some too i think...you can do your own searching though haha
