Default tires

So after much research I have 3 tires on my list.
1)nitto mud grappler
2)bfg mud terrain
3)gy mtr kevlar

They are all great off road tires but I want to know which tire will give me the most miles out of them. I talked to a few people and most say the nittos would be the earliest and the bfg would last the longest. Any input would be great.

I will be getting the tires in 33x12.50r17 or 315x70r17

Not to try to knock any of those tires because they're all amazing from what I hear, but I have Mickey Thompson Baja mtz 16k on them & they're barely wearing. But other than that I vote nittos they're amazing from what I've seen.

Default My tire esxperience

I have gone through three sets of tires so far and my favorite is still the nitto mud grappler. I am running the 37' 13.5 right now and really have enjoyed them. The only issue you might have is the hummmm if you are not use to the aggressive tread pattern. All the tires you listed are great tires and you will not go wrong in that class of tire. Good luck

I don't care about the loudness or the mpg but if I am spending 1500 on tires, I want them to last at least 35k miles.

I have KM2s and love them. My buddy has 52,000 miles on his. They need replaced but they are not bald yet.

What ever tire you choose proper air pressure and rotation are a must if you want them to last
