I've got the trail grapplers and they are an excellent tire. Well mannered on and exceptional offroad. They use a softer compound which causes the tire to chunk a little easier then other tires I have owned.

Love my nitto's. Drive 40 miles a day mostly highway and they handle great at any speed. I do 90 plus with zero issues.

Let me add another level of complexity:

When I was looking at 35"s The GY and Nitto's were in my top 3, however I went with the Toyo Open Country because I was told they are slightly better on the road than the Nitto's. The Nitto's are slightly better on the trial, but 90% of my miles are on the road so I went with the Toyo's.

I have 51,000 on duratracs and still going strong absolutely no problems with them.. My son has a 95 YJ and has pulled a diesel truck out of the mud.. ( he also has the duratracs)

Grapplers have a more aggresive look and standout. Want to look like every other Moe, get the gy.
