As far as tires there are many other brands out there far better than the mud grappler. If you are doing alot of road driving I would suggest an all terrain tire but if you want a more aggressive look try the Toyo, Mickey Thompson, BF Goodrich, or something similar. They will last twice as long as the grappler.

I really hate how people like to say how bad the Mud Grapplers are. Really they are NOT. People if you take care of your tires and dont do stupid crap to show off then they will last longer. I have like 14k on mine and still have PLENTY more left on them. I rotate and balance them every 3k And treat them well. I have gone off roading with them several times and they are holding up great. Alot of people here have not even had them on their trucks or whatever and talk bad about them bc of what they hear. Hey you might get a bad set of Tires but you know what that can happen with any tire you buy. These are the best looking and most aggressive looking tire IMO. But its really up too you on which tire you want to go with but everyone has their opinions on what they think about these tires and this is my opinion on how i think about the Mud Grapplers

Hey don't get me wrong about the grapplers, I think they look awesome and I was dead set on getting them. When I did the research on them I found they are a very soft rubber and wear alot faster than some other brands so I wanted my money's worth. If you do primarily road driving, then its not a very long lasting tire, whether you rotate them or not your still only going to get 30K out of them if your lucky. I went with the MT's because they are good for 50K plus and work better on the road. He stated he will be doing alot of towing and road driving so he needs to look at a better all terrain tire instead of the grapplers. I am just trying to save him some money in the long run. I think they are the best looking tire on the market though.
