im looking into getting 35 in either terra grapplers or hankook mt. mostly road and alot of snow here in erie pa. which is a better choice for me any thoughts ?which better in snow? anyone any thoughts appreciated . i have unlimited with a 2 in ft bb 35 should fit on street driving until spring right i have crager 8 rims also . when i will put on a bl

ps i know they are different style tires but they are the two i like any pics of either would be great

 

i am on the Terra Grappler side, i do not know about the hancook MT's but i like my terra grapplers. quiet on highways and good traction where ever i have been going to test them this weekend offroad but everwhere else they have been great. i have heard that in snow it is not the smartest thing to have wide tires. for winter i am putting my stockers back on because i don't want my wheels pitting through the salt and grime, but i have not heard much bad about the terra grapplers, in pictures they may not seem very aggressive, but they are just right for me. i'm always on the highway and through the city, with your cragars and terra grapplers i think you should be good to go
i am running the 35's and with a 2.5" bb i rub the slightest* bit on my plastic skid plate otherwise nothing, alot of clearance up in the wheel wells yet for about 6-8" of flex?

 

I was going to say Terra Grapplers but when I encountered snow they did not do that great. Of course it was huge mounds of snow off road on Holy Cross trail. Maybe someone else can speak to normal snow conditions.
Don't know much about the Hankooks

 

chewy any pics on flat ground

 

The Hankook M/T is a great tire for off-roading with fairly low noise level for a mud terrain on the road. I love mine and would recommend them to anyone. I did some snow and ice driving last year, and they worked pretty well.

If you are not planning on going too crazy off-road, go with the Nitto Terras. They will be a little better on pavement and with wear. They don't self-clean as well as the Hankooks, but will probably do better in snow.

 

Ask and you shall receive.



When they were brand new.



Here is the snow issue.



They have been great off road though.

 

I'm with Armycop... Hankook's all the way here. I have, what often feels like 8 months of winter here in Northern alberta and the only time I ever had a concern about the tires is in the extreme cold... like -45. But most tires are like hockey pucks then eh! lol... The Hankooks are great tires. you won't be disapointed with them...

 

anyone else with snow experience and thaks to those who posted

 

I am running the Terra Grapplers and they are great. We don't have any snow to worry with, just sand and mud...

 

I would say the Hankook over the Terras....and I have the terras now.
