Anytime! Not much sound for them at all. I will say they are soft.

Thanks

They wear down too fast and have alot of sidewall flex. I had them for 10k miles and regret it the fullest. I bought the 305/65/17 BF goodrich and man they are a great tire seriously. I have had them on for 10-15k miles and they are 3/4 tread or better and have no sidewall flex and are an E rated tire at that. Trust me when you get new tires don't get D rated tires they suck. Most of the guys on here say they love em because they are just coming from 1/2 ton trucks and don't know a difference. With 4 diesels now I am not bsing you. Take the plunge and spend a little extra. Aaron

fitzydog is right! I'm going with BF goodrich next.

Check out the dune grapplers I love mine and I had the BFG a/t's previously.

Maybe you tow a lot. I've got 15k on mine and they still look virtually brand new...but, I rarely tow. Maybe that's the difference. Either way, I like 'em. They're surprisingly quiet. Pics in gallery.

I've got about 8k on my Terra Grapplers and they still look brand new, no issues at all with them wearing fast or in a weird way. They see basically 95% highway miles as well...

You must rotate every 5k to maximize your tire's life....especially on a tire like this! I got almost 30k out of a set of tires very similiar to the Terra Grapplers but I rotated every 5k and didnt tow just a whole lot though.

My tires are D rated and I've had them on for 20k and they are just fine.

The 305 terra graplers are E-rated, no rubbing with stock rims

member 973604x4 has them look in his photo gallery

Can you post pics of the 305/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers? No rubbing on the control arms?

ataboy9026 · 03-23-2007, 02:20 PM

I now have over 35k miles on my 295's and they are still above half tread. And about 12000 of those miles were pulling 32' RV. I keep 64 lbs all the way around and bump up the rear to 70 when pulling. I don't understand the guys that have had bad luck with the Terra Grapplers cause everyone I know loves them and will never go back to BFG's.

Not the Nitto's but there's pics of the 305/65-17 E-rated Procomp Xtreme AT's in my gallery.. Just as tall as my 285/70-17 BFG AT's & a little wider...

I wanted to buy the Nitto's or the Toyo 295/70-17, but they are not available in Canada

so I found some Procomps on sale cheap, happy so far...
