Much thanks

I went from the stock sahara tires to 285-70-17 Duratracs and lost about 1.5mpg. Of course, your mileage may vary....

If I were concerned with fuel mileage I wouldn't have bought a jeep lol.

More concerned with drivability and how the tires wear and the road noise. Good info in here tho, I appreciate it

If gas was still $2.30 I wouldn't care so much.... Now that it's over $4.00 I'm trying to watch mods that will destroy my mpg... So if you wanna laugh that I'm trying to save money then laugh

Stick with the Toyo's if you like them. Talked to the manager at a local discount tire and was informed that the Toyo open country m/t and the Nitto trail grappler is the exact same tire. Toyo actually owns Nitto. just a little FYI

Been a great tire quiet and they have worn great. I will however be looking at trail or mud grapplers next.

Sorry, not laughing at you. It definitely hurts at the pump but the jeep stays parked mostly until the weekends or road trips. I drive a beater turd with decent fuel mileage otherwise lol.

Nothing wrong with saving a few bucks. Gas is around $3.70 here

Anyone gave pics of these on their jeep? Or opinions?

Would prefer the look of an mt but without the noise and better wear

I had the Terra's on my Ram 1500 and wasn't impressed with the wear at all. I think I only got about 20,000 miles out of them.

I'm very satisfied with my choice in the Terra Grapplers. My JK is my daily driver, living in central fl. wet traction is my first concern when it comes to Tires. The Terra Grapplers also meet the Off Road needs for this area. I chose the 295/70/17's, they are just over 33" tall.
