Hybrid Tires
I know there are lots of threads out there that point out a specific tire or a breed of tire and sizes but what about threads like All M/T's, All A/T's, All Hwy Radials. I'm more interested in the Hybrid Tires. I drive 85% city/town and the rest offroad, whether wheelin or getting to the good fishing spots. I would like to see pics and/or suggestions on a Tire that is lightweight and practical for my particular case. I'm not a fan of the BFG's. but what about GY Duratrac, MT/R Kevlars..what else is there? I've always been a fan of the D.Cepek MC's (had them on my last jeep) but not practical for my driving habits.

Nitto Terra Grapplers 285/70/17
Just under 33" rub a little with no lift. 6K miles. Smooth and quiet on the freeway. Awesome in the rain and snow. Still need to test wheelin this summer, suspect they'll kick a$$.....Love the look.....You? These fit stock wheels and the dealer aligned with no problem.

I think a lot of people will agree you can't go wrong with duratracs. Relatively light compared to MT's. Quiet on road, they do well in the rain, snow, mud. They look much better than other AT tires. I've had mine for a couple months now and my only complaint is they aren't 35's... yet.

I ran a set of 33x12.50r18 terra grapplers on my 07 Tundra and they were great on road but as soon as i needed to do anything offroad they were absolutely terrible. Sorry to burst any bubbles out there but i have experience with most tires, and i would put the terra grapplers on the bottom of the list

i like DuraTracs.. i wheel almost every weekend in different terrains. Sharp rocks chew them up, but overall a good tire, just dont air down too much. I will be stepping up to mtr-k's due to 37's. I have and will recommend these tires to anyone wanting a good AT tire.
