I PURCHASED (4) NITTO TERRA GRAPPLER AT 265/70/17 TIRES ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. EVER SINCE I'VE HAD THEM I'VE BEEN HAVING A SLIDING PROBLEM. WHEN I ALMOST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE TIRES START SLIDING ON DRY AND DIRT FREE PAVEMENT AND ACTIVATES MY ABS. MY ABS SENSORS ARE NOT DIRTY. I'VE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH TIRES LIKE I DO WITH THESE. IT CAN BE DANGEROUS AND VERY SURPRISING AT TIMES WHEN I DRIVE WITH THIS PROBLEM OCCURRING. I SENT THE MANUFACTURER A COMPLAINT EMAIL. BUT NEVER GOT A RESPONSE. MY LOCAL DEALER SAYS IT'S A TIRE PROBLEM. ONLY THING I CAN DO IS DISABLE THE ABS. BUT EVEN IF I DO THAT IT WON'T STOP THE SLIDING. *TR
