Default Looking for different tires...

I've been running 35" Nitto Muddies for a couple of years now but am contemplating going with a more fuel efficient, quieter tire but want to keep the same aggressive look. I also like the fact that the tread pattern on the NM's comes down onto the sidewall a bit, I'm looking for new tires that also do this. Any suggestions of what tires I should go for? Tire size "35x12.5R20" Thanks...

I've been running ProComps 35" MT for 18 months or so now. Pretty quiet for an aggressive tread pattern. Put about 10,000 miles on them so far, they still look like new.

The Goodyear Duratrac is aggressive looking a lot quieter and more fuel efficient.
If you are liking the Nittos go with the Trail Grappler still aggressive the Nitto you like and should be more efficient. The Toyos are a choice but not efficient.

you CANNOT go wrong with the GY MTRs with Kevlar. Smooth ride, aggressive and lotsa teeth!

in the same boat... love the nitto muds, but wondering if i should go a different route. a buddy just bought a set of the trail grapplers. i didn't like them too much online, but they look good in person. too early to tell on other characteristics as he's only had them a couple weeks, but they are much quieter. i'm going to be watching these closely.

I choose Duratracs. Aggressive tread, quiet, somewhat fuel efficient, and a tough tire. You Wont be disappointed.

What size are they and do they measure true to size or an inch or so smaller. O really like the look of the trails. How's the weight?

My Yoko Geolandar MTs are by FAR the quietest MT i've ever ran, as well as out-performing all others in the rain/wet. The directional tread looks kickin, and they're not very common---i get compliments all the time!!!
