I know that a lot of guys on here who want 315/75 R16 (and similarly-sized tires) at an affordable price have been going with the Nitto Terra Grappler A/T tires. But I recently had to get some new tires and didn't like the look of the Nittos. I wanted a meaner-looking tread that fit my diesel truck better. So I wound up going with a set of Jetzon Trailcutter R/T tires in 315/75 R16. They're about $130-$150 each (including mounting and balancing), so they're on-par with the Nittos price-wise. And if you ask me, they look much better. Several of my family members and their co-workers in East Texas have these tires on their trucks and they all love them. So while I'm going to wait and see how well they hold up over the life of the tires, rest assured that they aren't pieces of junk that will fall apart after 2,000 miles (cause all these folks have had them for a while).

They're a little difficult to find, but it's well worth it if you're serious about getting what you want. I'm pretty familiar with the dealer network for them in Texas, but for other states, you'll need to call the manufacturer, Treadways Corporation, at (800) 895-1449 and ask them where your nearest dealer for the Trailcutters is. They should take care of you.

Anyway, here are some pictures of my tires. I've gotten lots of compliments on them since buying them just a few weeks ago, so I'm pretty excited about that. Hopefully some of you guys will try them too and report back here what you think.

It's been 6yrs. How did the tires hold up?

 

Oh man. This brings back memories. A lot has happened since those photos were taken. I've married the girl in that one picture and I no longer have the truck. Sadly, it was involved in a wreck back around 2005 and had to be replaced with an almost identical 2001.5 that wasn't ever as awesome. Put a new set of the same tires on it and they ran like a champ till I got rid of it about a year and a half ago. I still highly recommend them for those trucks. I miss mine dearly.
