There is a ton of info on here about both if you do a search. I went with the trail grapplers and am very happy. Nitto/Toyo make some of the best tires available.

Have been leaning towards Hankooks, but starting to second guess myself. How long have you had your Hankooks? How the tread life?

I'm running my first set of Hankook Dynapro's. I like them, truth be told I wouldn't say I love them. I heard others describing how difficult it was to get the hankooks to balance, yep I heard right it turns out. Up side, it's a lighter weight tire that feels like it-nice. Great in the snow,mud,trails,rocks, everything but Ice, seems most MT's aren't at home on ice anyhow. I don't regret buying the Hankooks, they're suppose to have a long wear life and seem like they will. With what I've experienced thus far with this tire, my next set will not be these again. I personally think that Toyo/Nitto's are worth their extra weight. Cannot go wrong with Nitto.

i used to have some bfg km2s and idk if it was just that tire or in general all mud terrains, but when i hit a puddle that was a couple inches deep or so on the street goin about 30+ my jeep would jerk pretty good. not to the point of that traction control light goin off but if i didnt hold that steering wheel tight or at all id be goin in the other lane or off the road.

do any of those 2 tires jerk in some puddles? or pretty much all m/ts? should i just go for some all terrains
