Both are excellent tires. However, the Mud Grapplers are extremely loud and wear quickly.

I just put them on this week so I cant say, but I will let you know down the line. A lot of people I have come across with the Trail Grapplers have said they are very pleased with the wear of the Trail Graps.

I have KM2's and think I will try trail grapps if their mileage is good after the KM2's wear out, which will be a while. Tire hum gets old.

My KM2s are pretty quiet for mud terrains. Have you been keeping an eye on your tire pressure?

My trail grapplers are nice and quiet i was expecting a lot louder honestly. On the highway going about 65-70 I dont hear much but a light hum very unnoticable unless you are trying to hear it. My friend said he didnt notice a difference from when he road with me last (not a truck guy)

From the different MT's i have ran I have never ran more than 30 PSI on them. This equals up to the best wear charateristics. My 46's I ran at 25 PSI

I would think higher pressure would wear better as long as your tire isn't ballooning out in the center. Low pressure allows the tire to deflect more which causes more slip (and wear).
