i read in a 4wheel magazine i got, there was a tire competition and i believe nitto was one of them, and it might have been this tire. It finished 10th out of 10. But it's just a magazine, and the tire still looks great!

Nice tires and good choice of size, they work great on a leveled 4x4.

I'm curious about what they were comparing. Can you share the mag title, and issue, or better yet, scan and post? Maybe they were looking for the crappiest tire, and in that comp, they came dead last? You're raining on his parade.... they look awesome dude, mount em up.

I think they look awesome good size choice. I have km2's i really like them they fit well and perform very well but i believe i'll be going with trail graps next if i get another mud tire. Everyone i've talked to with them loves them and there just mean looking so good choice!

Four Wheeler magazine. I just finished reading that article. And I was surprised at their results, I could post the issue later, Its in my truck right now. Regardless of the comparison, great buy. Can't wait to see them on the truck.

that's it, had the ss trxxus, mickey thompson, etc. in it?

i'm not trying to rain on his parade, it's just one review, he bought what he wanted and i'm sure they will perform well. if they don't then he knows not to buy them again.

Congrats, I remember not too long ago there were only a few people running these tires. They seem to be the hottest thing out there now. I have no major complaints out of mine, enjoy.

Thanks guys. Im pretty excited to get them on and try them out. I dont really mind if they arnt the top preforming tire in the whole world or anything. But from what ive heard and seen they will do just fine for what I need them for. And plus I think they are one of the best looking tires out there

I just read that today. I think they had the Hankook Dynapro MTs as number 1.

I dont care what any magazine says about the Trail Grapps I love mine out of all the mub terrains the have the smoothest ride and almost no road noise oh and by the way they are the baddest looking tire on the market in my opinion. Heres mine they are 35x12.50x18

Actually, I looked at the Four Wheeler magazine again and the Trail Grapps are 4th.

1. Hankook Dynapro MT
2. Goodyear Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar
3. Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ
4. Nitto Trail Grappler M/T
5. Yokohama Geolander M/T
6. Pitbull Rocker LT Radial
7. Interco Super Swamper TrXus
8. BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2
9. Pro Comp Xtreme Mud Terrain
10. Maxxis M8060 Trepador

Does anyone have the criteria used for judging the tires?
