If this is the size you want go for it...The only reason im switching to nitto mud grapplers is i found a deal....I currently have 265/75/16 right now... great tire I can only compare it to bfg at's and i like the falkins better the wear more evenly i rotate every oil change....for 400 for 4 I would jump on it if i needed it......If you have any more questions hit me up ill be more then glad to tell you anything else i might now have covered.
Good luck
Dave

we've run them and can tell you that while they may not be the most agressive looking tires, they work exceptionally well on the trail. tough sidewalls, great traction and of course on pavement, they will offer a nice quite ride and, will even give you better mpg.

I run them and they are a great all around tire. Just got back from northern trip and hit snow in the rockies and a lot of rain, tires did great.

off-road they are really impressive. 15000 miles and they are wearing great.

I'm running the 325/65/17s and although I haven't got them on a trail yet but they look great. I was going with the Nitto Teragrapplers and had 2 different tire shops ask me if I had looked into the Wild Peak. I found 3 different reviews from offroad magazines that were nothing but glowing and the price savings on 5 tires convinced me to give them a try.

Maybe they don't have the most aggressive look on the market but they are supposed to be tough as heck. The sidewall looked to be at least an inch thick and the darn things gotta weigh 100lbs...a real bitch to get them on the rear carrier.

Anyone else have pics of these on their Jeeps?

I'm trying to convince my insecure ego that I don't need mud terrains to be cool but I'm having a hard time.

I just got back from a run at Prarie City OHV and these tires worked great in the dirt and the rocks! I have not tried them in the mud but I am certain they would suck. I avoid mud and want a good rock for the rocks. The other gripe is they appear hard to balance. Here is a poser before I started up a rock trail.
