Default 275-40-17 Nitto DR vs 275-40-17 MT ET Radial (pic)
I had the MT radials mounted today, they are quite abit wider & a touch taller than the Nitto. My 10 bolt was whining, now it is worse, it vibrates and rattles & I didn't even launch the MTs yet.

Eh, my 10 bolt lasted ~3k miles with them until I took it out (in good condition) and replaced it with a 9".

That's a good comparison picture to show people how nittos run smaller than traditional drag radials.
