Default Tires!!!

Hey guys. I am in the market for purchasing some new tires and am going for 37" tires on 17" rims. I was looking t Nitto mud grappler but I've heard they are very loud and wear easily. I will be riding light trails, mud, some rocks, and pavement. Just asking for some recommendations! Thanks guys.

You heard right. They work great, but they are extremely loud and wear quickly. A better choice for a daily driver would be something like their Trail Grappler, Toyo MT, BFG MT KM, Dick Cepek Mud Country, Pro Comp Xtreme MT or Mickey Thompson MTZ.

I just bought new 37s last week I wanted irok radials but they weren't available until the end of january so I went with the super swamper trxus mt. Im very happy with my choice the iroks are great tires but the trxus mt's will last alot longer.
