stay with the m/t clasics for sure, the new style rims just dont fit the style of your truck

I'd go with the Mickey T's and run the black letters out.

The Toyo M/Ts will last longer, ride better, last 50k+ if rotated properly.

The Mud Grapplers will hum very loudly, wear fastly, ride with a bit of vibration, but unstoppable in a swamp.

As far as tires go, they are both good tires but I do have to say that the Nitto has to be my favorite. I have also heard from many people that they are verry happy with the Nitto MG. The only down side to the Nitto is that it only has a few sizes for the 16" range, so it will limit your choices. As far as the MT's I couldn't help ya, I don't know to much about thoes tires.

thanks guys. all of my friends tell me that i need to get the nitto MG because we are always getting stuck in the mud and going off roading and my truck could clear 33-12.50s easily(as the guy who put my leveling kit on said)

Mickey Ts look outstanding on your truck... Although I'm partial to the Toyo Open Country MTs instead of the MTZs...

Both are great tires and perform well. The Mud Grapplers are just extremely loud and wear quickly.

Hope you don't mind insanely loud tires if you want the mud grapplers, a kid in my town had them and you could literally hear him coming from 5 city blocks away and only at 35mph. And I've heard that your lucky to get two years out of the tread before they need replaced.
