Default Nitto Trail Grappler 275/70R18

I'm looking into getting some new tires and have been looking at Nitto trail grappler 275/70r18. Does anyone here have them on their jeep?

Mine are the 37x12.5x17 variety, but same tire. I really like them in general. IMO, they are fairly quiet on the road and are great off the road. I have maybe 18k miles on them and have had zero issues yet.

I have a set of 35x12.5 r17. They're a heavy tire and have a ton of grip off road. They leave a lot to be desired in the wet and are downright dangerous on ice. They have a very thick sidewall as well making tough trails worry-free, but they also don't flex as well as some other tires. I find mine to have a pretty significant left hand pull while driving at speed.

What exactly are you using your jeep for? I ask this because if you are doing more pavement driving then I would look into the new NITTO Ridge Grapplers. If you are mostly doing trails and actually wheelin your jeep then def. go with the Trail Grapplers. I know several guys that run those and they love them.
