No. I have heard them, my neighbor has them on his F-250 HD on Lexani 22s with 37" Toyo M/Ts.

I just don't consider them an 'aggressive' M/T.

A good movie indeed.

Mud Grapplers are a quiet mud terrain tire, in the aggressive category. At 55-65 they are quiet. Anything above they are quite the opposite. Either way it doesn't sound like you've ridden boggers. The ultimate humm.

Thump, he's talking about the shudder you feel from 1-3mph. You can feel the lugs. Feels like the engine is shuddering to a quit but it's just the tires. This seemed to happen after about 4k miles.

Exactly, even worse is a cupped set of Boggers. I've never had that shudder. I have heard of people discussing it before but I think it could be a rotating issue. How often do you rotate your tires? I rotate mine every 3,000 miles and no problems yet.

Not every 3k thats for sure, way too damn often to be squatting these heavy bastards. I do it about every 5k. I haven't had them in the rain until this weekend, so easy to get the truck sideways and they stop surprisingly well on wet roads. I used to be able to spin them in the rain to the upshift into 3rd (stockers).

Im religious about rotating every 3,000 miles so maybe thats why Im not experiencing this. . I cheat though. I use a creeper while taking off the tire.

I hear you about getting the truck sideways with the MGs.

Anyways, they do look pretty good but not nearly as good as the Nitto MGs did!
if you think the nitto's ride very close to stock, ride in a f510 with toyo's there is a huge difference.

when my truck would come to a stop, it felt like I had a set of boggers on it.

My buddies got the 37 grapplers on his H2 and they ride just as smooth as my claws but they are at least 3x louder.

True, it is all personal opinion, but whether they look "aggressive" or not the Toyos and Nittos pull about the same. I have seen them side by side offroad. I just prefer the ones that are quiet on the road. Plus those little devil hands coming out of the Nittos kind of scare me! :-)

I was just thinking, it shouldn't be all that hard to find your stuff. After all, they don't exactly fit a Kia. Just keep your eyes peeled. I have locks on my 20's, but actually went two steps further. I have a very subtle mark that I added to each one of my wheels on the plastic center cap - so I can identify them quickly. I have also engraved my name on the back side of each wheel in the same place on all four. That way, when I find somebody that looks like they have my wheels, I have two ways of verifying that they're mine.

Think this doesn't work? I use a similar system on the amber light bars we use on our fleet of snow plow trucks. I have three layers of identification on them. When two suddenly disappeared last winter, we started looking. About a week later, I saw one on a truck parked at a construction site. (It was very obviously ours.) I called the police, explained to the officer how I could verify it was ours, then we confronted the driver. When he pulled that light off and turned it over - only to find exactly the marks I had promised - it was priceless! Can you say "busted!" An ounce of prevention ....
