i found a set of 38/15.5R20 Nitto Mud grapplers for $500 with "half tread"

ya ll think this is a good deal ?

im pretty sure i can expect atleast 10-12 k outta them, which would last me at least a year, i dont travel far

 

Go for it! If you don't plan on driving on them alot.

BTW, Great job on the BL. I'm really considering getting one. After seeing yours and a few others its helping make my decision alot easier

 

yeah i only do mayb 10-15k a year.

thanks for the compliments, you can really hide the BL very well.

trim the frame horns, side steps , gap guards .

 

i wouldnt do it, and i deffinitely wouldnt think about getting 15k out of them.

If they are really half tread, maybe 7-12k tops.

From the picture they look like they are feathering out already...

But its up to you.

 

Man that's a damn good deal! Go for it. Like tremble said you will probably only get around +/- 10k out of them.

 

*Trimble
Sorry man I'm doin the REDNECK thing, sittin round a fire and drinking a few cold ones! :grin:

 

yeah i guess 10 k would be a better guess,

i always wanted to try Mud grapplers, they look awesome

and the 1 1/2 years i had my truck i only put on about 15 k.

so i figured these would last me a year , before it was time for new ones

+ i can use the extra $1000 i didnt spend on new tires on gears

 

Its all up to you man.

i hate the tires.

Ive been wanting to do an expierement with them, documenting every rotation start to finish. Every time i check the air and have them blanced.

then have a total mileage calculation at the end. It would really quite the people that claim 35k+ miles.

I know these tires will not last this long i have worked with them.

 

thanks for your input Trimble, greatly appreciated .

if i can get a good deal on shipping, then i ll prolly get them ,

they re down by you in FL, know any good shipping Companys down there lol

 

haha no ive never done shipping on large items. If i cant go pick them up then i wait for another option. but id try fedex ground, ups, and freight shipping

 

I wouldn't do it.

 

just curious, whats your main reason ?

10 k
the fact that they re Mud grapplers lol
shipping ?

or D. All of the above

 

I want mud grapplers to man for my next set of tires, but I am ruff with my tires and my BFG all terrains my last me a year and a half to two years. It might be good to get the tires for that good of a price and test them out for a year...They will look amazing on your truck and if you hate them you can always change after they are bald.

 

i pretty much know they will ride like crap and everything, but i do want to try them out. and 10k will last me at least a year


either try those

get kuhmo venture mt 38/15.5R20 for $1500 shipped
or wait for the pro comp buy 3 get 1 xtreme A/T's 38.5/14.5R20

 

dont get all terrains man...I got them this time around and I regret it every day...Ive been stuck a few times with them and I guide quail hunts down in statesboro georgia and I need my truck every day on the land...I can not afford getting stuck while on the job and the muds look 10 times better and more aggressive anyways.
