I can only speak for the MTR/Ks, I have 35s and have put 10K+ miles on them and I'm very happy. Wearing is even with good rotations, they have performed great for me offroad, they're relatively light and they look badass. Any balancing issues seem to be with early production runs, I haven't heard the issue come up as of late. Either is a good choice, good luck!

Definitely the Trail Grappler. Other than being heavy, it is a much better tire than the MTR

I'm running 35x12.5 nitto trail grapplers. Very satisfied. Even wear and not too loud.

Thanks for the input but there really isn't anyone out there that has run both of these tires.
