i was on ebay looking for tires cuz im gonna need some here pretty soon, probably before i go back to school, and i saw this deal it was 4 nitto terra grapplers for 495 and free shipping, they were 265 70 17, is this a good deal or not, and anyone who has had these tires, do they like them or are they a disapointment? oh yeah the thing ends tomorrow so i kinda need to know, haha
thanks
alex

 

its a good price but are they new? you can find new ones for like 600ish.

The tires is good it last just as long as a BFG TA KO's. But IMHO its just an aggressive street tire!

They gum up quick in mud, but they will handle their own riding around dirt roads at hunting camp.

They are super quite and smooth on the highway for an AT

 

yep they are brand new, so the bfg at outperforms the nitto? im guessing yes, but at 120 a tire im not sure i really care cuz thats a deal on wheels! and im poor and probably couldnt afford bfgs anyway, so after hearing that you think i should get them?

 

BFG TA KO's will out perform and possibly out last the Terra Grapplers. But for the price its not really that bad. My BFG's were 200 a peice in 285/75/16's

just make sure the ebay seller is legit!

 

if you are a 4x4 you could fix bigger tires.. like 295/70/17's

 

yeah i was actually thinking of getting 285s but its like 1 somethin more and itll probably hurt the mpgs, but how much better performance do you get with a bigger tire?

 

and yes it is a 4x4 and my torsions are cranked

 

depends the

265/70/17 = 32" tire (close enough)
295/70/17= 33.5" tire

The difference between these arent going to be alot! Its more of a better look thing! Now if you are saying what the perormance difference between 32" and 35" tire theres alittle bit more to work with.

My 285/75/16's didnt hurt my MPG at all. I have the 4.2L now im runnin 36" TSL's

Another thing to think about is what you plan on doing with the truck!

 

thats the thing, i just cleaned it up from the last time i went mudding, and wouldnt you know it there were a few scratches i dont remember bein there, the truck has 145 thousand on it but it still very strong and runs well, im not sure how long it will last but i will probably drive it till it dies, so this could be the last set of tires it could not, hopefully not, but anyways, im big in fishing, hunting, of course mudding, not every weekend but once in a while, ill be a freshman in college this fall at k-state, a bunch of hicks, im callin myself one too so a bunch of trucks, mud tires, pipes, and beer and guns and nekkid...nevermind haha, but yeah im just not sure why i just typed all of this but if it helps?

 

heres a picture of my truck!

 

now you sound alot like me. My truck has 105 on it and scratches and dings all over it. I plan on putting a 6" suspension lift on top of my BodyLift and run 36" but didnt want to wait so i put a 3" bodylift on and cranked my torsion bars all the way up and mounted 36x12.5x16 Super Swamper TSL RADIALS.

I still plan on going higher, it looks good now and works nicely! I will be getting it muddy saturday and will definitely post pictures and reviews!

 

that truck has a real nice stance! thats with a 3" body lift that looks damn good! yeah i love my truck clean, but it has far from good paint, and whenever i get it muddy i leave it for a while cuz it looks bad ***, and i waited about a week before i washed it this last time and there is still spots where the mud is and im kinda freakin out, but if i clay it i bet it will come out, but anyways i might get one of them body lifts cuz that looks good! you do it yourself? how long and how much did it cost? if you dont mind me askin

 

team realtree i just saw that, you deer hunt, do you shoot bow or gun?

 

The body lift I installed with a buddy thats on here MiniMonster... it took use around 20 hours but thats including a lunch break and parts runs. Its not that hard just really really time consuming.

The lift it self cost 200ish but you can find it cheaper. Gap gaurds cost 70ish.

I have bow hunted a few times but since i hunt in south georgia and florida its just too hot out there for me.

So normally i just hunt regular season with my 243 or 30-30.
