I'm looking at getting some new 285's after christmas and I've been looking at either the Nitto Terra Grapplers or Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors. the GY have a 50k mile warranty and seem to be a pretty good tire. But the Nittos also seem to be a good tire? I haven't seem to many people talking about or running the Goodyears but quite a few people run the Nittos and like them. Any thoughts or recommendations? Thanks!

 

Can't go wrong with either, I have and love the GY silent armors and they've been great. I wish they came in 305/70/17, but my 285's look great. Love'n the tires for now though. See my gallery for pics.

 

The Nitto's have a great reputation but the Goodyear Silent Armor series is getting good reviews also.

 

The Nittos are a less expensive copy cat of the Toyo Open Country's, they're both basically made by the same factory. However, the Nitto's are a softer compound and probably won't last you as long. Try looking into the Toyo's, they have harder compound and will last you 50K+.

 

I just got a set of the GY's they look great now, just gotta get them put on the truck

 

I have been running the GY for about 10k. I love the tire, the preform well in the snow and mud. I have taken my truck off road for hunting and had to cross a washed out section of dirt road. They had great traction and have very little signs of wear. I would definitely get the GY but both are good and I am sure you will be happy with either set.

 

I like Good Year when i had them on my truck. But consider Hankook. A set came OEM, and now I have 35" Hankook. They ride great. I was out in the West Coast storm today. I'm not kidding when I tell you that I was impressed by their traction. I didn't even have to put on the Go-Claws.
