That's one of their downfalls,they wear fast. A friend of mine's son had them on a Chevy and wore them out in about 25k miles. They are also loud on the highway but a lot of guys buy them for the sound they make. Offroad they do fairly well and their aggressive look's are hard to beat. If you do a lot of highway driving there are better choices out there.

I've got over 20,000 miles on my truck and here is the most recent pics of how much tread is still left, don't know why people are saying they get low mileage out of them. I rotate them every 10,000 miles and they are wearing perfectly, also running them at 62PSI. Looking to get atleast 40,000 out of these. All paved road miles as well.

Yes, it's just a front 2.5'' leveling kit, and Yes, they are 35's with probably 23,000 miles.

The biggest mistake I ever made was canceling my Toyo order en route, and buying those POS's instead. They look cool and at times sound cool (most of the time annoying) and wear quick. I replaced mine at 23000 miles and they were slicks. I had them rotated every 3 - 5k miles. I went with Toyos, have 5k miles on them and they still look new. My Nittos where about 1/4 gone at 5k. Go with the Toyos, they are great on the road, quiet and wear great. Maybe the trail grappler is a good tire? I havent heard much about it...

06, running them at 62 psi may be the key to getting good mileage out of the mud grapplers. Toyo makes Nitto tires so they may have some traits alike. Who knows maybe more people who have owned both will chime in. Mud tires in the last few year's have come a long way from the bias MT's of the 70's and 80's.

The sidewall says to run my size at 65PSI max but I don't like running them maxed, it could be but I bet it's the size of the tire that depends on how long they'll last, load range, etc.

My Toyo's are load range "E" 65 psi max and I've been running them at 42 psi. Running them at 62 psi my eyeballs would be rattling and fillings would shake out of my teeth on these crappy Louisiana highways.
