37s TOYO M/T or ROCKER radial or NITTO T M/T

Vote on Tires:

1 Toyo OC M/T 37X13.50R20, Great Tire but everybody seems to have them!

2 Nitto Trail M/t 37X12.50R20, Reviews seem to be good, less rubbing (not as wide), Cheeper than Toyos!

3 PitBull Rockers 37X12.50R20, Killer looking, cheeper than both Toyo and Nitto, cant find anybody thats ran Radials, Unknown everything (Mileage, niose, ect but they are just Mean looking!!

4 SS M-16 37X13.50R20 Reviews sound good but still unknown, the more I look at them the more I think I dont like them! unsure!!


Im trying to decide what to get! What do you guys think?

Rocker


M-16

Just because 'everyone has them' should not aid you to chose otherwise. Everyone loves them because they wear very well for a M/T and the traction and overall tire is an excellent choice.

I just like to be different!
I know they are a very good tire!, Ive been selling them for about 6+ years now but my cost is still more than some of the other tires! alot more!
also I dont drive very much so mileage is not as important as it might be for some! 8-10K a year!

Thanks for the thought!!!

I like the 13.50 on a 37 which would be the Toyos. However, I think the trail grapplers would also be a great choice, especially if the price is right. You may have a hard time finding the Pitbulls, not sure if they are being produced at the moment, and you can probably hang up any comfort and road manners from them.

Bottom line, the Toyos and Nitto are very nice on the road, both have pretty good life span, and perform well offroad. I would determine if you want 13.5 or 12.5 and go from there.

Im thinking 12.50s are leaning my way!

Pitbulls: Ive never seen or heard of them, but I found them on the internet and they look awsome, Radials seem to be new for them!

I'd go with the Toyo's or the Nitto's (I have the Nitto's and do like them). Like MD said, I'd like a 13.5 in a 37". As for the Pitbulls, know nothing about them except that I'm not a fan of the looks at all. I don't think that matches the look of your truck. They almost look like someone was trying to make a knock off of the Nitto Mud-Grappler with a little splash of the BFG KM2's. I don't know, just don't think they would look good on your truck. Maybe an old school lifted Ford, but thats just me. Good luck!

those pitbulls are for extreme off road traction. ive seen a few in the desert and they do great in the lose hill climbs. look up truckhaven hills. thats what im talking about. toyos are pricey but wear great. nittos are 2nd pricey and wear almost as good as the toyos and the m16. idk. interco has so many tires and thats a "good" one. idk. stay away. haha i would get the pitbulls if you plan to do any extreme off roading. mud rocks that kind of stuff. other wise get the nittos. you said you dont drive as much so that will be a good tire.

Thanks Guys!

The whole thing with the Rockers is that I love the NITTO Mud Grapplers like on IORf150 truck! they just look awsome but Im a little older now and dont want my truck to sound like a Cessna aircraft (been there done that)! So I found these Radial Rockers and was thinking they might be a Quieter Replacement for the MGs, if you look at the treads, there is overlap on almost avery tread unlike the MGs, so I think they might be Quieter!
but life and Quality is also important!

Look up IORf150, IMO you can see the difference it made when he put on the Mud Grapplers, sooooo much better looking than his old tires!

Thanks again Guys most of you are a great help!

The mud grapplers do look amazing, but they will make LOTS of noise, I suspect the pitbulls will too. I think your on the right track between the Toyos and the Nitto trail grapplers. Gonna get the best balance between comfort and performance between those two.
