I just got my 35" trail grapplers on yesterday. They look awesome, and actually make my jeep ride better with my new suspention. I like them a lot, im sure the MT/R's are great too. But they are also more expensive

35" Trail Grapplers here. I've had good luck with them in mud and rocks. The only disadvantage I would say is that they weigh a lot more than MTR/Ks.

Yup. The price just went up. I printed off a quote from their website for and the 35" were $289 then a week later I look at them again and they are $366 per tire. Thank god they valued the price that was on the page I printed off.

They aren't on yet but when they are I'm guessing I will love them according to all the comments on them.

The MT/R's are a very well respected, good quality tire. So are the Trail Grapplers. I know that in some sizes the MT/R's are on back order and very difficult to get. I don't know about the sizes you are dealing with. Having said that, I really like the appearance of the Trail Grapplers on the Jeep. When my BFG All-Terrain T/A KO's wear out in a hundred years, I'll likely go with the Trail Grapplers.

Whichever you choose, check with the Discount Tire Direct rep on this forum. If there is a lowest price to be had, I'd be willing to bet that you'll get it from him.

They dont make the white wall anymore.
