The Nitto Terra Grapplers are a good tire, alot of people are getting them and seem to like them.

I have BFGs, they look good, are easy to get, but at the same time alot of people have them so if you are going for the "different" thing then this tire might not be for you.

Ive seen a few people here with the Coopers, they seem to like them and they look like a pretty good tire.

Most of the ones you listed are good tires, I dont think there are any on there I would stay away from...go for the ones you like the looks of.

I just dropped the Nitto's on and am liking them, I wanted BFG AT KO tires but the prices were outrageous I think I could have bought 7 Nittos for what they wanted for BFG's

if you can afford the Toyo Open Country M/T get those!!! But if not get the Nitto Terra Graplers. I plan on only getting 20-25k on my mud grapplers if that.

So the Nittos are getting love from everyone, and I read that they won first place in a recent tire contest for AT's they seem to get really high rankings on wet pavement, I just had a little accident due to wet roads so I am looking to get something a bit more responsive.

And once again I wanna ask because I would like to go up from the 265 17's and the only other size they have is the 295's, Will They Fit on My Stock Rims without any other Mods (w/o Rubbing) or am I going to have to crank the Torsion Bars? And Get New Rims?

Also, anyone know much about the Pro Comp A/T's found a good deal on them...

I've got Toyo OC AT's, and they are very impressive for an AT tire. I've gotten over 40,000 out of them, and have never been stuck. The only thing I've never had them in is the the snow, but from what I hear, they do extremely well. My only real gripe is that they don't look quite aggressive enough....

Upgrading tires and wheels...need help

I am planning to replace the OEM rims and tires on my 2002 F150 Lariat. The choice of the day is to go to 305/55/20 tires. Will these fit under a stock truck without rubbing the in the fender well? I know that a 305/50/20 fits, but I want the taller stance.

Best thing you can do is ditch the RT/S's .
Mine wore out pretty quick and wet traction sucked.

I've had Durango A/T for almost two years. Paid 104 a tire, better wear and better traction on wet roads and mud.

Just wish they made bigger than a 265 for 17' wheels. Got the big tire bug biting. Hope I'm as happy with my next brand as I've been with the Durango's
