Let's hear it!

Would be driving a decent amount of highway miles.

What are the pros/cons of both?

 

So you are looking at a dedicated mud tire, or a a/t? Why not split the difference and go for the Trail Grapplers? They are pretty quiet on the road and perform great in just about any terrain.

I second what dave said. I personally am giving the trail grapplers some thought myself, since they come in a 295/70R17 and would give my 2" BB a perfect look. If I ever get a good job, I will be going with 35" Mud Grapplers or another aggressive tire.

(I do mud often...)

Here is my experience from a friend's truck that I rode in several times:

Terra Grapplers (355/60R20 on Ram 1500 with 9" of lift):

Pros: Last FOREVER, quiet on the highway, good in the snow.
Cons: They like to hydroplane (might be the 14" width), they SUCK in gumbo mud (but ok in watery mud with plenty of throttle), they look boring

Mud Grapplers (35x12.50R17 on a Chevy 1500 with 7 inch lift):

Pros: Go anywhere, do anything tread!, tough as nails, look badass.
Cons: Treadwear wont be as long as the terra grapplers, and they are loud on the road (humming)

 

agree with both these guys

My terra grapplers have been amazing so far.

 

the mud grapplers are loud, it sounds like you have a helicopter following you. However, they are awesome both on and off road!!!!!

 

What size terras equate to 33" muds?

 

MUDDDDDdddddd

 

Ive got mud grapplers and love them. I drive mine as a daily driver, sure their loud but what the hell. And ive got a soft top and its loud any ways.

 

I just had 35" mud grapplers put on yesterday and was worried after reading all the reviews about how loud they are.
When i finaly got back and drove around it was much less than i expected. Yes i can hear em, but if you listen to the radio you won't even notice em.

 

I love my Mud Grapplers. The "angry hornets" chasing you sound puts my daughter to sleep everytime.
