Default Need help with tire selection please

Ok I'm in the process of replacing the rubber on my ride. I'm looking at three tires only so please comment on these three types please.

1- General Grabber AT2's LT265/70/17 (31.6" diameter 48.5lbs)

2- BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM 255/75/17 (the ones that come on them stock) (32.1" diameter 46.3lbs.)

3- Nitto Trail Grabbers 255/75/17 (32.17" diameter not sure of weight)

This is going on my DD but I do go off road a couple times a month. More rock climbing water boggin typ of trails. I try to avoid the mud as much as possible.

What's everyones opinion on which of these three to go with.

Thanks in advance for all your help.
Dave

I believe you meant the Nitto Terra Grappler possibly and if you are considering that one, the reviews are very high.

all 3 would work fine for a dd with limited offroad use. I would go with which one I could get the cheapest.

Don't think you could really go wrong with any of those.

BFG are the lightest of the bunch. Thin side wall if you wheel. Nitto's are also very nice.

I run with the 295/70/17 (33.25") Nitto Trail Grapplers and love them. However, thy are E rated and HEAVY!
