Default Mud Grappler on MT Sidebiter Wheels

I was wondering if this combination wheel/tire set will work? I am looking at getting the 35" tires. Has anyone bought tire and whels online already mounted and ready to install on delivery? Local dealers around here don't have many options.

Also I was just wondering why so many people do not like the mud grapplers and the ones that do like them love them. From what I have been told they perform extremely well off road and in the thick gumbo mud but the big draw back is the noise on the street. Is this correct or is there something I am missing?

What is the difference if any between the Mud Grappler and the Mud Grappler Extreme?

Thanks

Now if I can just find some place that sells the combination of wheels and tire I want. I have found places that sell both but no mention of having them pre mounted. The places the do have the tires pre mounted are not on the wheel that I like...Go Figure!

I can't speak for anyone else but I just put these on 17" MT Classic 2s this weekend and LOVE them. They look more aggressive than the traditional MT. I am very pleased with the ride. Nice and smooth any speed above 5mph. They do hum on the street but IMO not more than what would be expected for a MT like this. For God's sake they have lizard tread on the sidewalls .

Put it this way... you don't have to turn your radio up any louder to hear it.

I don't know about getting them on the Sidebiter wheels, but here they are on the Classic 2s.

I've not had a set of those yet. But I do have the same rims on order that you talked about the sidebiters. Also I tossed 5 MT- Baja ATZ's part # is 5375 if you wanna check em out. they are 35x12.50x17r. I'll have the lift/tires on within a month *still waiting on tires/rims* I'll try & post some picks when I'm done.

Why don't you call Discount Tire. They were the lowest price out of anybody and they shipped to my door mounted and balanced for free.

I bet they can get the rim you want even if it's not on their website.

btw, love my Grapplers.
