Anybody ran these bad boys? Supposed to be good trail tires, just wanted some first-hand reviews!

 

Look in the show and tell section... those bad boys have their own thread. Looks like a great tire and a lot of compliments as wel.

 

I've been running them since the day they came out... Love them! They are quiet, smooth, and excellent in snow, mud, anything you throw at them! I don't think you could go wrong!

 

I'm sure you've seen them...

 

Well I tried to post a pic but I guess my phone won't let me!

 

I've seen very few rigs on here running them - and not sure if those rigs actually use them off-road or more for looks. I would also love to see some pics of the Trail Grapplers wheeling. And I'd love to hear about how well they do on trails. They seem like a great tire for us East coasters that need a mudder but also need tires that do well in the winter. I have KM2s currently and love them, but I'm undecided on the tires I will run if I go to 37s. I'm thinking of just going over the top and getting real aggressive mudders - Super Swampers or Pit Bulls. If I decide to get a more realistic tire, these may be an option, or the Toyo MTs or Goodyear MTRs w/ Kevlar.
I'm all across the board really.

Thanks guys!

 

I looked at them for all of ten seconds before forgetting about them. Price wise they were the same or more than the BFG MT KM2s and GY MTR Kevlar in the same/similar sizes. Size selection was a bit thin as well in 16" and 17" rims. Availability was limited and almost always special order with longer waits (i.e. bust one on a trail.) Tread looked ok, but not as aggressive compared to the other ones. Just too many negatives IMO.
