Decided on Nitto Mud Grapplers

[legionxxii]

Well I am in the market for some new tires I am currently running 265 which is way to small for my liking so once the new oil cooler is in and all done and I get my Xmas bonus from work I decided to go with a lvl kit and 315/75/16 Nitto Mud Grapplers. I was really leaning toward Toyo MTs but I love the look and sound of the Nittos and heard Toyo MTs are kinda weak in the mud. I know Nittos wear fast compared to Toyo but I dont put many miles on my truck compared to most people. I have had the truck for 14 months and put 7500 miles on it. I know rotation is the key to help the tires last longer so I will prolly rotate them every 1000-2000 miles for good measure. Has anyone ever had any bad experience with the Nittos other then tire wear?

Have you thought about the trail grapplers?

I have but if I was going with that tread pattern I would go with Toyo they have a better track record due to being out longer. There is to many brands that have that pattern.

Both look awesome to me. I drive 1000 miles a week so noise was important to me. That's why I went with the trails. I have heard the muds are really loud.

Mud grapplers are loud but there are times my truck only gets 0-200 miles a month cause of my job

Hell get the MUDs then! :thumbsup:

Ya thats what I was thinking

The mud are loud but you get use to it. Just keep em rotated and you'll have em for awhile.

i put over 20,000 miles on a set of mud grapplers on my f150 and they probly had another 5 left in them when i took them off but that was on alot lighter truck

the mud grapplers are awesome in the mud, but they are loud and rough riding. I don't put too many miles on my truck either, maybe 500 per month, and I'm looking for a change. Yes, they look awesome, but become very tiresome after a while. FWIW, I have 12k miles on mine and they've worn well (probably somewhere around 60% tread left). If you wanted 37 inchers I would gladly sell you mine for next to nothing.
