I'm a tire tech at discount tire and can tell you that the Nitto Trail Grapplers are pretty popular, good tire wears even, and isn't really that noisy. Other option would be to go with the Toyo MT, Great performance offroad, less noisy than the trail grapplers but a little bit more pricey. If you're looking for a all terrain, the Goodyear Duratrac would be a great choice.

Hope this helped!

When I am ready for new tires I will be going with the goodyear duratracs. Although, I have been hearing that they are on back order everywhere right now.

I have heard good things about the Nitto Trails...I love everything I have heard about the the Mud Grapplers, except for their wear life. They are said to wear out faster than most. I have Nitto Terras on my jk(came that way) but I am a longtime fan and user of Super Swamper TSL. My
next upgrade comes with hard choices...

Nothing compares to Duratracs in the CO snow. They do chunk on sharp scrabble rock, but grip like no other on smooth rock (think Moab). Great MT/AT hybrid tire.
