If you have Nitto Trail Grappler MT 295/70R18, what is weight & installed hight?
I am looking for someone who has these installed and has measured height. I know Nitto advertises 34.57 but we all know how that goes. As long as they measure at least 34" I would consider this route.
Also any idea on weight? They don't post that.
I just installed 325/65R18 Duratracs and I'm not happy with width (or maybe just not used to it), hence these questions on a more narrow tire (11.73 advertised).

I have had the 295/70/18 Trail Grapplers since 05/2014. New at 30 PSI mine measure 34.25". They are just wide enough for off-road but not too wide as to affect on road handling. They ride just as smooth as they Terra Grapplers I replaced them with. They are heavy but I don't have exact weight #s. I know a lot of my buddies have switched to these and love them too. Not as heavy as a 35x12.5 tire but just as tall and plenty wide, plus a lot cheaper$$!
Bump...anyone else? Want to make sure the 295/70R18 are at least 34" installed before I go this route. They are listed as such, but it always seems to be less.

Went ahead and got them installed. They are about 1/2" shorter than the 325/65R18 Duratracs I took off, but they don't look too different from the side view. Specifically I measured my rear 33.75" @ 35 PSI (I have since aired down to 30) and front at 33-5/8". A little bummed by that as I was hoping for 34+, but they look great and that is all that matters.
Front/rear view completely different story! Amazing how big a 1" width difference can make.
Before (325-65R18 Duratrac): 2.5-3" outside fenders

After (295-70R18 Trail Grapplers): Much closer to fender width. 1.5" maybe?
