Also keep in mind that the Nittos are one of the heaviest tires which is another reason not to do it.

They're more suitable for heavy trucks. They do look GREAT and are tough, well made tires. Just too heavy.

Maybe if you have a reinforced D44 or PR44. But if you're already going to push your luck with a 35" or larger on a D30, you should try to find the lightest tire, not the heaviest.

I replaced my D30 with a Rubi D44 + sleeve and gussets. I still won't consider Nitto's.
