Default Pic Request- Nitto Vs Goodyear

So I'm looking to get 35" rubber to go on my 2dr. I'm looking between the 35x12.50x17 Nitto Trail Grapplers or the 315/70/17 Goodyear Duratrac's. I know what's involved in going bigger...tire carrier, possible regear Etc

I just want to see pictures and your opinions on the two different tire setups. Preferably on a 2dr lifter 2-3 inches. But not necessary. Lets see em!

The trail grappler is a mud terrain, and the duratrac is an all terrain. They are very different tires. What kind of picture are you looking for? There are tons of pics of both on this forum. Do a search. Both are great tires.

I know they're both different, I'm just curious how people find them off road. I'd like to see pictures of them mounted...I know the trail grapps are more aggressive....and I've seen many duratracs on...but not so much the nittos. I can't seem to find a thread on them. Terra yes....trail no

Here are a couple of pics of the Trail Grapplers on stock rims with 2.5" inch lift. (sorry it's a 4-door) These handle great on the highway, a little louder than an all terrain, but not as loud as most mud terrains. Can't comment on the Duratracs, as I've never run them.

i dont know much about the goodyears but as far as the Nittos...They do great offroad, i see more nittos than anything on the trail because they are so soft...On the contrary they'll wear quicker than most on the road, just my food for thought.
