I love that before&after composite shot! Who would have ever suspected that tires, an inch bigger, could beef up the entire vehicle like that? Your mistake/trick of photography is truly exaggerating the actual effect of getting Nittos. I love them and can't believe there are a couple of people where I work that still have stock tires after seeing my TerraGrapplers.
And for the 'stock design' people on this board, the Bridgestones weren't part of the design... they were a compromise based on many different criteria that most enthusiasts don't value as much as the marketing people do. I have some pictures of the Nittos on my site too if anyone wants to see more...
