ok and they will also last a long time if you never drive your truck.

I've done alot of research on tires to find the perfect one, and Nitto Mud Grappler only last about 20,000 miles if your lucky. I went with the Toyo Open Country. It is more expensive but last for 70,000. So what would you rather have? A godd looking tire that you have to replace every year or so, or a tire that is good looking and will last up to 3 or more years? Just my opinion though.

man the Toyo's will last a LONG time but 70k i really doubt that. 50k is alot closer. they are still an MT so you can only expect so many miles

I agree with 4.2trimble, 70K is a bit much, I'd say 50K max.

Also, there have been multiple members on this forum alone that have gotten higher then 20K with the mud grapplers. I'd say 25K-30K is a bit more realistic, unless you just trash them. I've been looking into them for my next set of tires (37x13.5R18 mud grapplers) so we'll see how they hold up

I have 33X12.50 Mickey Thompson Baja Claw's. I LOVE them. They are extremely loud which I love and perform like a Bogger in the mud. I know I won't get but like 25k out of em but I'll be ready for something else or another set by then. I wanted a mud tire and with a 3/4 ton your gonna have road noise. My brother has Maxxis Bighorns on his yota and he might as well not even have a radio! I love it when my buddies are standing in their yard and hear me coming from 2 miles off.

i had a set of 37X13.5 R18 Mud Grapplers before i had to lower it and still have them bc they are such a damm good tire. They are just sitting in the garage waiting to be sold or put on my next truck after i sell this one. If you treat them right you will get what you pay for. I liked them so much that when i had to go with smaller tires i got 35s and they are awesome and perform soo darn well off road. so yeah treat your tires good and they will last. I will always stay with mud grapplers bc they are the best looking, prob one of the best off road tires, and they sound mean when your driving by people. So i say get them and atleast try them out for yourself and take care of them. I also rotate mine every oil change.

yeah I agree if you offroad but if you drive mostly on the road, why wouldn't you spend an extra $200 bucks on a set of Toyo's which last longer?

Had a set 35X12.5 on the stock rims.....wow they made noise....I did not mind but people in their yards would turn to look before I had even passed them. They also wore fast.....only got about 10 months out of them. They are aggressive looking...and performed well in the mud though.....I've gone to the nitto AT's.

10 months doesnt tell us much. How many miles?

When I sell the mud grapplers, I throw in a pack of ear plugs in the deal.
