Nitto Ridge Grapplers - 285/70 R18 - Is that a hard size to find?

I went into my toyota dealer today, they have a buy 3 get one free deal for tires. I asked how much to install Nittos in 285/70 size. He came back and kept insisting I was wrong on the size. I told him I know they have the size, I just didn't have the stock number.
It was frustrating.

Anyone know if this size is hard to get or something like that?

 

Yes, when i went to upgrade my tires. It took me like three weeks for it to arrive.

 

but was it hard to actually locate. almost everything is late right now w delivery. this guy was telling me they dont exist. that i was giving him the wrong size

 

It exist , I also went to DTC and it took them a week and a half to get one tire. I had flat from offroading , could not be repaired

 

So that size is available but very expensive due to being odd size. Not so popular. 285/70 18 much cheaper and also the 295 70 18

 

They definitely exist. This was taken off the Nitto website. LT285/70R18 E 127/124Q STOCK NUMBER 217370.

This is an odd ball size though. I asked a local tire shop about them a few months ago and they told me 7-10 days. Sounds like the guy you were dealing with was either stupid, lazy, or both.

 

I bought a set two months ago at Discount Tire. Got them in less than a week.

 

Yeah, I knew I saw that size on the Nitto site. Don't mean to be dick, but even before the guy looked up the tires, he struck me as a little slow.

 

Should be able to get them no problem from discount tire or tirerack. I would never buy tires via a toyota dealership unless it was a hell of a deal, can probably find them cheaper elsewhere. Buy tires from a tire store/dealer- more knowledgeable, usually less $ and they usually do lifetime balance and rotations included in the purchase price.

 

Just put them on my new LunaRock tundra Pro. But the tires are getting hard to find because of production.

 

Ordered a set today...should be here in a few days ..

 

I vote for both
