Yeah I've seen some 335/30/18's on before (Nitto's of course) Nittos always run a little narrower

Yep. They're made with a stickier compound or something like that but that also decreases the tread life. That's why I'm waiting to get a beater before I buy them. That way those tires will last a while on my Roush.

No way of telling bro. It all depends on driving style and habits. Make alot of trips to the track? Do burnouts at the Sonic drive-in? Haul ass at every green light? lol
