Hi
New Pro 4X owner here, have a strange situation here, thought I would seek the advice of the more experienced than me.
I purchased the Xterra new in October 2015, ran it for a few months with BFG K02s and loved the ride. Two months ago I had Nokian LT2s winter tires installed. Apparently they are 10-ply, but definitely run quite softer than the ATs.
Today I took out 3 family members to dinner, average size people, no one over 200 pounds.
What is bizarre is that I could hear the rear of the truck, at least what sounded like bottoming out on dips in the road! I'd ride over a dip or deep manhole or there would be a banging sound coming from the back, could even feel it in my seat. I don't recall hearing this with the K02s, which is why I thought I would ask here.
So my question is does the Pro 4x tend to have a rear that bottoms out easily or could it be the winter tires?
