anyone running these? any input? they look like a nice towing/hauling highway tire that still is a good all season tire. i can't even find a dealer that carries them yet. what do you guys think?

 

i saw an ad for these in Petersens 4X4 magazine and was curiuos what sizes they come in.

 

From the information I gathered the Dura Grapplers will not be available until later this year.

I posted a thread last week on the dura grapplers, no one was interested in it. I did speak with Nitto on the phone and they said they are not scheduled to be released until sept or oct (maybe later) They did say that they would be offered in a 285/70/17 load range E. that is the biggest sized available now. Thats all the info they would give, no price, release date, size specs. Have to wait.... let us know if you get some!

 

I still have some life in the old Michelins but will be looking at the Dura's in the future. Looks very similar to the LTX M/S.
Especially since Michelin has no plans in making the M/S in load range E for us.

yea, i still have some life left in these BFG's but i like this tire, guess i'll wait till next summer and get a set.

 

I have the Nitto Terra Grapplers...and love them. So far about 20,000 miles on them and about half worn but that is with rotating every 3-4k miles and not smoking them at ever light.

Check with 'vzdude'. I believe he's running the Dura's.

Just put a set 265/70/17E on the 3500 4x4 and have about 1k so far. On a long trip they rode great and very quiet. When they put them on they guaged the tread depth @ 17/32 pretty deep. According to the side wall they are 10ply, rated M&S, and 3195# @ 80 psi. They come with a 45K tread wear warranty. Got them thru Discount Tire @ $ 191.00 per.

 

anyone else running these? looking to buy a set soon...

 

I have them and have about 6k on them. I like them a lot not a bad tire.
