So I have a pretty good opportunity to get some 35x12.5r20 Nitto Mud Grapplers with 800 miles on them for around 600 buck (yes a full set), now I havent read a whole lot of great things about this particular set of tires (road noise), but not a whole lot of bad either, so if you had the chance would you take it and put them on for that price and then just get some Toyo's or BFG's when they wear out which will hopefully be later than sooner.

Also most importantly can I even put these on my truck right now, I have a 2007 Screw 4x4 with a 2" AS level kit, I think I read some where on here that with the level kit I can run 35's on stock rims but I just wanted to make sure before I take the leap.

Good decision or bad? thanks for the help guys

 

I personally don't care for the Mud Graps. But that is MY PREFERENCE. I understand they are a good tire, with good performance. I also think they look extremely odd, and have not heard overly great things about them being used as an actual mud tire... There WILL be folks here that have had them and will swear by them. Maybe they might be able to speak for them better...

What I have seen is that yes, you can do 35s on stock rims with a 2.5" level. Not sure if 2" is enough though.

The Mud Graps have really aggressive side lugs, and they are known to rub on the control arms with stock rims... Watch out for that.

 

No other advice guys ? ...wish I knew it would work ofr sure and wouldnt look rediculous

 

i would buy them and sell them for more, if you dont run them.

 

I guess thats part of the problem I would do that, but he wants to trade my tires for his plus 600

 

My tires are 33x 11 and I have a 06 4x4 with no lift/spacer at all and have no rubbing. Mine are also mounted on 20's, I think you would be fine with the 2" coil spacer

 

Well thanks for all the help guys, but I have decided against this purchase, just not much good to say about them anywhere I look, so Ill pass and wait for something else.

 

Mud Grapplers are excellent tires and will last you a long time if you rotate em every 4-5000 miles. I don't like 20's on a 35" tire though.

 

I love the tire, I may purchase them again. I'm actually looking for tires now, I have very little tread left. May go with these again, or possibly claws. However I want 22's this time around. They performed really well in mud I will never argue otherwise, they lasted about a year. Those who compare tires, you cannot judge a tire because you didn't make it through a pit and a different vehicle ran the pit fine with a different brand, curb weight and power differ between the two vehicles. It's not science, void ratio and weight is about all you need to know about a tire to know whether it will perform well in mud.

 

I do, but I think 37's on 20's look much better.

 

How many miles did you put on them...

 

now that is a crap deal...those tires are expensive, but so are the stock FX4/Lariat tires. My OEM's run $200+ each. Sounds like that guy would be getting new tires and cash...basically he'd break out ahead of even. I think you'd be the loser...
