Nitto trail grapplers or BF AKOs

I know the ako might last longer but the nittos look so much better how much would I lose in power and mileage if I got the nittos. What should I buy

Not sure if this is a comparison of apples to apples. May want to throw the BFG KM2 into the mix??

Not sure about the nittos, but as far as the BFGs you can expect to get 60K+ out of the KO's and prob 50K+ out of the KM2 as long as you perform regular maintenance on them. Rotate and maintain proper air pressure.

Nitto trails for sure I have a friend that got some a a week or so ago, and man do those thing's pull in the mud!! BF's are over rated and wear out just as fast I'm running 33X11.5 Nitto Terra Grapplers on mine and I love em'. waiting on my 5.5" lift to get here then upgrading to 37X16.5's Trail grapplers so far from what I see when we go out is that they are real good on the raod and even better in the mud. But that's just my two cent's.

Maybe the first time I have heard someone say BFG's are over rated, nothing wrong with you expressing your opinion. Here is my concern with the Trail grapplers, and its nothing bad just that they have been out for such a short period of time, I have not heard any reports of mileage and ware patterns. They look great, and from what I have heard ride well, if they prove to hold up long term, then yes they will indeed prove to be a great tire.
