Default Which 37" tire...help me decide

I find myself torn on what tire to order. In the past i have run MTR with Kevlar and km2s and MTZs.

I found the MTZs to be less than desirable for off road and decent on-road.

The KM2s where good all around and the best on the road but were undersized and expensive. The MTRs where very good tire but difficult to balance. I would buy the MTR again but wanted to try something different.

Right now I am torn between two tires: Nitto mud grappler and the pitbull rocker radial.

Can anyone provide photos and thoughts on these two tires...I want something that is tough and performs well off road but still is nice enough for a daily driver as well.

All great choices on tires. I just wanted to chime in on the Grapplers. Love the look and the ride, but they are HEAVY as hell. Just something to consider. I'm about to throw on the KM2s

Both great tires, but not real sure on the longevity of the pit bulls. I know the mud grapplers last a good while if you take care of them, and balance well for being so aggressive.

I have 37" KM2s now but will be going to 37" Trail Grapplers when time to replace.

How much more are they over pitbulls? I thought the pitbulls where the heavy contenders.

ID:	437324 I love my 37" mud grapplers. There good to me. I lk that they come in 13.50 wide. The wider the better. I lk the look the humming sound and performance. The km2s are really nice too though. So either one is great. I had the Km that come stock with rubicons. If they sold those in 37/13.50 I'd get them.

The mud grapplers are sick offroad, but sound like an old bomber plane on road.

I read the Falcon 37's are pretty heavy for a AT style tire. This true?

I like those tires

Are you running stock gears? If so how's gas?
