I have Mickey Thompson MTZ's 315/70/R17 on my truck right now and they are getting low. Time for some new mud tires but which ones should I get or should I get a new set of the MTZ's? I do drive around a lot so I want a tire that will pull well in mud but also last a while. Tell me what you think.

Nitto Mud Grapplers
Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ
Mickey Thompson Baja Claw Radial
BFG KM
BFG KM2
Toyo Open Country M/T

 

I vote Nitto Mud Grapplers.
I just put on some Dura Grapplers because I don't have a need for a mud tire but I do like the Nitto muds.

 

well i wasn't going to post this since your looking for 35's in the 17 rim size because they are load range D, but you have BFG's listed so here ya go. i really like the all terrain.

Nitto mud grapplers are the noisiest tire I've ever experienced. I'd check out in the Nitto trail grappler or the Toyo MT's.

 

Toyo MT's

 

im not a fan of the trail grapplers, a couple of my friends have them and they say they suck, and the toyo mt's are nice but i do love a tire whistle

 

If you choose the Toyo MT here are some things to think about..
Toyo does not make this tire in the 315/70R17...dim. 34.4 dia. X 12.7 wide

The 2 closest sizes are:
285/75R17 34.1 Dia. X 11.6 wide
or the 35X12.50R17 34.8 dia. X 13.2 wide.

You will lose a little width with the 285's but height is very close.
The 35x12.50's will be just over a 1/2 inch taller and 1/2 inch wider overall.
Hope that helps..

 

thanks man, i think im going to go for BFG KM2 35x12.50R17
