Time for tires NITTO MUD GRAPPLER
I tried the whole AT tire thing and I found myself missing mud tires. So I'm debating the Nitto Mud Grapplers. I know they are the loudest tire on the road next to a Super Swamper Bogger and judging by the looks of them don't look like they'll last very long but how do they perform. I'm going back to
33's instead of 35's and would like to know how they do when hooked to a sled? Looking into turning my truck into a pulling truck over the next year piece by piece. No matter what tire I put on this truck I can't get over 25k off a set. And I don't spin them that much at all.

Toyos are awesome mud tires, they look good and they will mud as good as any. THose Nittos look terrible, what are they supposed to be? They look like they belong on my Yamaha 4wlr.

Ive got'em 35's, Great time in the snow. I have 15k on the right now, they are at 50%> I do alot of highway w/ heavy towing. For a mud tire I am very satisfied, wearing very even. Handle good, make lots of noise when doing heaters. (trans. doesnt like it)They do wonder a bit w/ a load. My only draw back is that they are loud, my girl cant decide wich is louder, tires or the turbo. Hehe. I will buy again.

I like loud and unlike toyo MTs they don't look like almost every other mud tire since 1980 excluding the bogger and a few other tires. I can't get any tire to last over 20k on my rig.

I have 35s on mine, 20K miles and 50% tread (11/32nd) left on them. I think I'd get 35k miles out of them overall (if I weren't selling them due to getting rid of my truck) but I only do light towing with the truck. Best tire I've ran in the mud, and they drive straight, wear good, and balance extremely well for a mud tire... but they are LOUD!

Kuhmo road venture M/T. Great tire, quiet, look good, pull good offroad, ride very smooth, handle heavy weight very well, and are cheaper than them Nitto's. I have 15,000 miles on mine and there about 3/4 tread left and I do alot of heavy towing and alot of driving.

I had 35K on my last set of Nitto's and still had a little life left on them when I put the new ones on. Maybe I get longer life out of them because I have 6 of them

I got a buddy with the nittos and you can hear his tires about a mile away, way before you can hear the truck itself. Don't like riding in the cab with him as they are very loud in the cab as well.
