I test drove an ulimited with the dune grapplers that the dealer put on, they rode very nice, did not get to go off road with them to test out performance though. I would say very good street tire for highway drivng but an AT would be better off road i would say. Decent looling tire if you drive street and want something different, if you hit the rocks and or mud, i would say no way.

Not a problem, I know they look kinda cheesey but I think they would pretty cool. and they said it's a quiet tire. I got tired of that dronning humm on long road trips. I was wanting something a little more mellow.

Hey Chris, I put the Terra Grapplers on my JK and have been extremely pleased with them. We've had ice and snow here in Buffalo Gap, TX this week and it's nearly no fun how well the tires and jeeper are handling it.

Like you said, no siping so they are probably akin to slicks on ice or snow, and the lugs aren't spaced out or aggressive enough to really work in the mud. They look like a pretty good street tire, and they might work good in the sand and gravel like the manufacturer states, but they sure don't look like they'd do much in mud/snow/ice.

There is a guy up here at work running some 35's on a Z71.......The tires looked pretty new to me when I asked them how he liked them..........He said he liked them better than the BFG AT's he was running. He also said that he'd put about 17K on them and they still looked new so evidentally they wear pretty well. He said they weren't bad off road but of course don't compare to the grapplers..........which is common sense really.
Just my 2.87's worth

My friend has these, they are good sand and some rocks. They are not too loud, but wear quickly on the street. I do not like the look, but they make a good street tire, quiet. Snow and rain though not good, it doe not rain were I live so several people I know have them.

I have the Terras too. They are the absolute best tire for rain and snow and ice.....and they do a darn good job on the rocks, just ok in mud though.

Almost 10k miles on mine. I like them. Low road noise...handling is good. Have taken them offroad many times in dry conditions (desert)...rocks and sand are no problem. Seemed ok in the rain (only rained 3 days in Vegas since I got them).
