Here's the deal. My front passenger tire ripped open the other day. It sucks because there was still plenty of tread left on it. All four tires are BFG Comp T/A ZRs. The reason it did that is that tire for some reason would deflate quicker than the others and there must have been some sidewall wear.

Anyway, instead of replacing just that tire with that brand, im thinking moving the rear tires up front, and getting two nitto 555 DRs for the rear.

Is this a good idea?

Where can I buy Nittos? Not many shops sell them, and ive only found them on tires.com. Is there any other place? I just wanted to compare prices.
245/45/17s are $160 on tires.com. Also how much to mount that size tire?

Im doing the same thing bro , as soon as it gets a little warmer out!Go to any independent tire outlet,all they do is look them up in their catalog and order them for you.Takes a day or two (usually) to get them in! Im going with the 245/50/16 ,the nittos last longer then the bfg's and you can keep the quad shocks on!( I have pony rims)
