Hello all. I am beginning to look at a New set of tires for my jeep jku. I am between three different tires. The size is going to be 35x12.50r17. Looking at the nitto trail grapplers, cooper discoverer stt, and the toyo open country mt with the ten ply sidewall. A buddy of mine has the coopers and he loves them. But I'm leaning towards the toyos. The question is are these tires going to be too heavy? Concerned because the jeep is already underpowered enough with the 35s I just still want to be able to move haha. I Appreciate any input. Thanks!

 

I'm running the nitto trail grappler in 35x12.5-18 and love them. Wish I had gotten 17" though, a bit cheaper and more sidewall. Haven't had any problems, have 32,000KM on them and are wearing great! Going to buy the same when I move to 37s as well because they offer them in a 37x12.5-17 unlike toyo... The nitto also balance great and don't take much weight.

My buddy runs the toyo in a 37 and are a great tire as well. We both air down to 12psi while rock crawling, and never had bead come off.

Also like the tread pattern better on the nitto, but that's just my opinion!

 

Thanks. How.are the nittos in the rain/snow/mud? if your buddy is running 37s I'm gonna guess he re-geared ?
