5 mickey thompson mtz $220
6 bfg at ko $188

thanks!!

 

dude i cant give any testimony as to the performance of any of these specifically.... but mud graps are probably the most bad A$$ looking tire on the market. my vote is for graps just because of the looks lol

 

awesome man bc thats what i really want...you think my truck can handle them?? not too heavy or anything...my truck looks great now...cant wait for them graps

 

I say Grapplers too. Especially sense you only put on about 60-75 a week. Just be sure to rotate and balance them every 3k along with your oil change. Check the tire pressure and you will be good to go with them. One of the most beautiful sounds ive ever heard comes from my Grapplers . IMO the best looking mud terrain out there.

 

yea on avg 60 miles...my work is 5 miles total and have to go 3 or 4 days a week with my shifts so its not far at all...they sound sweet...just want to make sure my truck can handle them...they arent even an inch wider....

 

I've never had the grapplers, but a friend bought them the same time I bought my toyo m/t's. I drive more miles and his wore out alot quicker than mine did. He bought the toyo's his second time around.

 

Yea since you arent gonna be driving around too much I would go with the grapplers they look sick and sound awesome. I wanna get a set but I put on 500 or so kms a week so they wouldnt last too long...

 

All are excellent tires, but the Nitto MG's are extremely loud and wear quickly. Just so you know.

 

they do look awesome, and i found them on a site for 305/70-16 for $989 delivered. i cant beat that for the graps...you do better finding tires online rather than going to a local tire shop.they wanted toyos $1245 out the door. with the graps i can be out the door at $1040 max...im glad i found them, wanted something different and not alot of people has them here

 

what does wear quickly mean? 10000-15000 miles? or 20000-25000? bc with my job and driving habits now ill be lucky to get 4000 miles a year on my truck...so im not too worried if they last me 40000 miles...this past summer i couldnt have gotten them drivin 80 miles a day..

 

I believe you could easily get 30,000 out of the Mud Grapplers with proper care.

 

that is plenty enough for me, i found some 33x11.5 16...should i get those wandell or get the 305/70/16??

 

If that's all the miles you put on your truck a day the grappler's would be OK. I drive a hundred miles a day and that's why I bought the Toyo's. The Toyo's will last a little longer and are a little less noisy on the highway. The Toyo's usually balance out better also. Mine took very little weight to balance and ride smoother then my Toyo AT's did.

 

so the size of the tire should not pose a problem for my truck...

 

Like wandell said with the proper care you can easily get 30k out of them. Just make sure like i said to get balanced and rotated every 3k with your oil change.
