325/70R17 Nitto Terra Grapplers, which essentially equates to 35x13.00R17 in SAE sizes. I've got 47K miles on them and they are wearing FAR better than I ever expected, ESPECIALLY for being a load range "D" tire with all the towing I do and over rough roads (im a hotshot so spend quite a bit of time on rough lease "roads"). Im throwing caution to the wind for her next set of shoes, however, and plan on cramming a set of 37x12.50R17 Yokohama Geolander A/T-S tires under there. I've got tons of room under there with the 325 Nittos (which actually run pretty true to size) so I think I will be able to clear the 37" Yoko's with just the level lift and Thuren track bar.
Yes sir it sure is. It fit over the OTR Line-X without issue and I really like it for raising and lowering the tailgate. It gives you the perfect handhold. My only issue with it is I am looking at putting a camper shell on the truck in the next few months (when I leave the oilfield) and wonder how the back window will seal with the tailgate spoiler on there.

I really have no complaints with them. To be honest, if I wasn't hell bent on going to a taller size I would have a very hard time justifying going to any other tire since these have been so much better than I expected. The dry and wet grip are both fantastic and I have very minimal spin in mud and loose terrain. They've performed adequately in the sand the couple of times I've taken the truck to the beach. Not the best I've ever had in the sand, but they hold their own. I haven't experienced much sidewall flexing out of the tires (i keep them at 52psi front, 50psi rear). They have a bit of a whine to them at highway speeds but it is far worse than any M/T i've driven and most A/T's as well. All in all, I think the Terra Grappler is a flat out excellent tire. If they made them in a 37x12.50R17 I would buy them instead of the Yoko's next without hesitation.

Yeah it's a "mini truck" they come from Japan, with little tires, and you can lift them and put atv tires and wheels on them. They are pretty nice for around the farm, that one's got heat, radio, lights turn signals, it's a 5 speed manual with 4x4 hi and low, and diff lock. Dad bought it a couple years ago and when he passed away I adopted it, great for building fence

I ask because the top of my tailgate is getting beat to crap because I often carry a lot of lumber and other building supplies. There's a lot of scratches and a couple of dents that I'd like to cover up.
