I plan on bedlining and keeping my stock 18" Sahara rims. Given that, there are not many tire choices to consider. I've narrowed it down to four different 33" tires (roughly 33"):

Nitto Trail Greppler MT

Goodrich Mud Terrian T/A

Goodyear Wrangler MT/R Kevlar

Cooper Discoverer

I'm not really afraid of directional tires and the pain generated by that design, so forgetting about that aspect of the Goodyears, what are your experiences with these tires?

I plan on pulling the trigger in the next day or two, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Add General Grabbers to the discussion

I know there are many threads out there, but most don't cater to the 18" rim.

 

Ordered my Coop's this AM

 

For long life - the KM2s have proven their worth.

 

I'm very impressed with my mtr kevlars

 

I love my BFG KM2s I've ran BFGs and Nitto mud grapples for years those are the best 2 tires for me , and Coppers you couldn't give me a set they ride like shit and are very pricey

 

The only thing ive seen about a directional is the are not very good in mud off road if you do any type of that wheelin', but great on road as far as quality of the ride ... Ive only heard great things about the KM2's ... pricey though .. Can never go wrong with Nitto IMO either

 

I ran cooper S/T (all terrain) on my beast cherokee and it worked well all around.

If I were you, I would go KM2 or Trail Grappler.

 

Thanks for the help folks.

No feedback on the Grabbers?

 

The mtr/k is not directional. (asymmetric, not directional...)
And you are asking about the BFG KM2, right? Not the old style MT that is stock on rubicons ...

The KM2 was at the top of my list until I found that I could save $100 per tire on the maxxis bighorns. Lots of things I can use that extra $500 on.
