Default Tires

Can anyone give me any input on terra grapplers vs. trail grapplers. Putting 35's on my Rubicon and can't decide.

The Terra's would be better for street, snow/ice and fuel economy, while still performing well on the trails and having a semi-aggressive look for an AT tire.

The Trails would be better for, well, the trails. Not as good on the street, or snow/ice, or fuel economy, but they 'look' a lot better.




I ran the Terra's for a year before moving up to a bigger tire. They were great for all conditions I ran them in. Street/highway/trail/snow/ice - the only thing I did not try them in was mud.

What about road noise. I like the look of the trail grapplers but noise is a concern because my wife drives the jeep alot.
