I am gettiing REAL close to getting those Nitto's now that the snow is becoming a better possibility. They look sooooo cool and my two and a half year old Yoko summer tires are getting a little slippery even in the rain. What I'd like to know is what the *asterisk means next to the 285/60/18s in the chart and why is the tread depth so much less that for most of the other sizes? Is it specially made for the VX or what?
