doesn't sound to bad.. love the look of them too.. now you guys got me thinking abou tread life.. idk what to do lol.. looking for something not insanely priced.. but good for road and mud.. the mud grapplers are sick. but .. i just dont know.. i would have my music on loud anyways.. so I guess I wouldn't hear it that much. How long is the tread life.. if its over 20k or around there I guess I could manage.. but still got my options open.. I really just want some sick tires

BFG muds are pretty nice but I want more shoulder tread...

The firestones don't have enough shoulder tread either..

The Mickey t mtz have the look I want, the pro comps are simmilar to the mickey's...

I like the shoulder tread in the mickey t mtz and the pro comps.. the nitto mud grapplers have that same look.. thats the look I wanna go for

big beez im telling you, you will get so many compliments on how crazy they look. just going to 7eleven or the gas station people ask what they are and how sick they look. and your gonna wanna hear these things humming. i always turn off my music just to hear them. and they will last way past 7k or 10k like people have mentioned. i mean all those other tires prob will last longer. but just keep an eye on air pressure and rotate alot and they will last alot better. check out www.discounttiredirect.com . they are very reasonable. this is where i got mine. they have reviews on the tires from customers to.

If you want a super loud tire, that has bad tread life, and a bad ride that looks good, nitto mud grappler is for you.

I read all the reviews.. they were all good untill this one guy's. They all said good things, but I can only make so much money, and if I have to replace them often, it won't work out. They look sick though. still thinking

I had 45,000 on a set I sold to my cousin.

Maybe he's not looking to spend $300 on an overpriced tire.

I like mine, I would consider them again for my '85 Ranger. It will be between them and Cooper STT's. I have put maybe 5k on them since I got them with no visable wear since I put them on used. The little bugger will go about wherever I point it, could use a little more power however.

I debated heavily between Toyo MTs and Cooper Discoverer STTs. I really had my heart set on the Toyos BUT I saved over $300 on the Coopers and they look just as mean if not meaner. I also felt both sets of tires and the Coopers seemed to be made of a harder compound as they weren't as squishy. I know its not scientific but it made my decision that much easier. Both tires are tight but I needed some rubber with a life span as I am primarily a highway queen all week long and only hit the sand once a month or so. My 2¢. By the way the size I got was a 35x12.5x20.

i have the bfg muds on my truck and have been very pleased with them. They ride like the factory tires, are quite for a mud terrain, and i have 20,000 miles on them and they have at least that many more left. I have heard great things about the toyos but they are very high in my opinion. The nittos get extremely poor mileage and wear very unevenly for what mileage they get. I havent heard much about the MT mtz but i know the baja claws dont get good mileage but better than nittos.

If had had the money i would have got the toyos but for the price i think the bfgs mt are an good all around tire.
