Dirt Grips

I see that most people here are running the Nittos but does anyone here have enough experience with the Parnelli Jones Dirt Grips to compare them to the Mud Grapplers?

1: Road noise?
2: Vibration
3: Wear characteristics
4: Off road performance.

I really like the look of the Nittos but I would be willing to sacrifice the looks for performance.

Oh, and would 36/14.50/20 fit on my 05 screw with a 6" lift or would I have to go taller? Thanks Guys

most people use 35's on a 6 inch lift, but i think 35's are to small and ive seen quite a few with 37's (wont be good for when you compress ur shocks tho) so 36's sound PERFECT....for a 6 inch lift atleast

Dirt grips

I just traded out of my 02 that had 7 inches of lift with 35x12.50x17 PJ dirt grips on it. Super mud and even better sand traction. Truck drove smooth with an initial balancing on Discount tires ride match machine untill wear hit about 20,000 miles then a vibration set in. I took them and had them trued and balanced to the truck and that cured it. Put another 15 on them before trading.
They still had life in them probley 5-10 thousand miles. Dont know that I will ever spend that much on tires again but I had to try it......Just plain 4x4 now.....Was fun though. Good luck. Gordon

So no one thinks I will have any problem running this tire with a 6" lift? I really dont want any rubbing.
