I've got the Terra Grapplers in a 325X60X18's. They are great riding tires. Not very loud, really smooth...... they will cake up pretty quick in the mud. Mine have 7K on them and still look new. I'm selling mine to get some mud terrains. If you looking for 18's I'll make you a smoking deal.

I got the 295's they are great. Very quiet on the road and do very well in the rain. We haven't got any snow yet

Ditto. I have over 30k on mine and should get another 15-20k out of them. I drive mostly highway miles though.

I've only got about 1500 miles on them so far and I have to say that they are great for my use!


(at install)


Zip. What are you looking for in a tire...Off road? Mud or Rock?

Terra's are for mostly street, with mild off roadability...but you probably knew that already.

Why not go to the 295's (see above) and gain a bit of ground clearance/attitude

In the past I've made the mistake and gone with too agressive tire (MT) on past rigs and end up going back to a AT type tire.....but It all depends on your daily driving habits.

I have a set of terra grapplers, I put on in November for my hunting trip in the snow near Buffalo. I have about 7000 miles on them now and they look great even though I did two aggresive burnouts with them. I like the tires they have a bit of road noise but that is with every aggessive tread pattern. Mine are 285/70/17 E rated.

Can you run 295 Nittos on an 06 without leveling it? I hate rubbing!

I had a set on my old 01 and they were good tires but only lasted about 30k miles.

Thumbs up

I run the 295s on my '06 with no rubbing at all. They are great tires IMO.
