Default New 35's

Hey guys i'm looking to get a new pair of 35's. I am looking in to nitto mud grapplers, nitto trail grapplers or toyo m/ts. I will be using these for road and off road. Can i get some feed back if you have these tires.
Thanks

I wouldn't get the mud grapplers; way too loud for on road, wear fairly quickly, too. I'll replace mine with the trail grapplers, Cooper STT, or maybe some Pitbulls (I like that the Pitbull tires are true to size).

Honestly you can't go wrong with any of those. The trail grapplers and toyos will give you a better and quieter ride on road, and last longer than the mud grapplers with good maintenance

I have the terra grapplers 325 70r17. True 35 inch tire. Very quiet on the road. Handles wet pavement well. I have only had them two weeks so I have not had the chance to get off road. Overall I like them a lot.

Hopefully this helps.............

I too was just in the market for some new tires. I really wanted Mud Grapplers or KM2's. Well I ended up being talked into the Wrangler Duratracs! They are some really nice tires. I just got hem so I can't tell you about wear or anything like that, but I can tell they look really aggressive! Especially for an all terrain. I would certainly put them on your list of tires to look at.

I was worried that the mud grapplers would wear fast. Is that cause there softer rubber?

I have 5 Toyo MTs sitting at Discount Tire. I can't seem to get the time to go over and have my rims mounted.

Hopefully will have them on in the next 10 days.

FYI... I read a bunch of posts and all the reviews on quietness and longevity were positive. I did read that some thought the tire was stiff (Load Range E) and that the recommended tire pressure was 35 for a better ride.
