Also, the odometer will show 3% less than the actual miles traveled.
 

If I thought I'd ever sell the truck, I'd be happy to hear this.

Yes, the 31x10.5R15 will fit, but you'll have to trim some plastic. More info at the Xterra Owners Club.

FWIW, I have Desert Dueler Revo on my 2000 Xterra. They far exceed the stock BFG Long Trails, but if you're looking for a more agressive tread, you can't go wrong with BFG A/T KO.

Thanks for the links.  

Trimming, eh?  Hmm...I don't think the guys at Costco will do any trimming of my rims.    But, I'll ask them when the time for purchase comes up.

Did the Bridgestone Revo require any trimming?



just read...trimming of the mud flaps.  no problem there.  i have a sander somewhere around here.  



THANK YOU GUYS!!!

You don't trim the rims. There's some plastic molding behind the front wheels that needs to be trimmed a bit for a 31x10.5 on the 2000 X. Not to worrying, the amount is so small that no one would notice unless they're looking for it.

 I tried editing my post before you saw it.    trimming the mud flap is no problem.

did the Revo require any trimming, Sandman?  it looks like a nice tire.

[Sandman]

No trimming. These tires are the same size as the original... IIRC 265/70R15.

In a month or two, I plan on putting on the BFG AT/KO (31x10.5).

cc.  much appreciated.

No worries. If this is primarily a daily driver sort of thing, I think it's hard to buy a better tire for all weather conditions than the Revos. You can read the reviews on Tirerack. It's an excellent tire.

been buyin from tirerack for 3 years
bought the wrong size once- thay picked 'em up and sent the right ones (even tho it was my bad) and paid the shipping too (:

i would buy off the website if i felt like installing all 4 tires myself.  but, i'm just not that "into" my car.    i don't do my own oil changes, either.
