I have the Nitto's are they are pretty awesome on/off road.

I have about 20K miles on them and there is still tons of tread left. They are pretty quiet too. They are heavy as compared to the GY's but I think it is because the sidewall is thicker. They are really good off-road and they look sweet!

Love my trail grapplers - just got them and so far love them - they are heavy but I think they are the best looking tire on the market, do the job on and off road, very happy.

Easily the duratracs! Not that the nitto is bad but I know some people with those and they like them but they wish they had gone with the duratrac. It's really good just about everywhere! Mud, dirt, rocks, sand, and especially wet roads/slush/ snow. Probably the quietest and cheapest too. Maybe. Nitto's are a pretty good deal

on and off road Gy Duratracs unless you are in mud most of your offroad time. The Duratrac gets better traction in the snow/slush/ice and way better gas mileage.It does the job all around just better, it does not look as cool as the trailgrappler. 40k and only half worn (285/70/17).

35" trail graps and I love them. I have never owned the dura trax but did own MTRs and I would say that those are the two to compare. Loved the MTRs as much as I love my trail graps. Heavy - yes, capable and badass- yes.

another vote for the Trail Grapplers! Not only do they have a very aggressive look, they are fairly quiet for a M/T and wear very well! i have about 10K on mine and they still look brand new!
