Trail Grapplers are freaking awesome... Ran a set of 33's for a while, but decided I wanted to go back to a more MPG friendly/ street tire. But I'd definitely recommend them. I'm sure I'll get another set down the road.

About 10k. And they still look almost new. I have rotated and balanced them several times

Yeah, I think I've made up my mind and am gonna go with the 35x12 17 Nitto Trail Grapplers.

Nice Arctic Edition by the way! What kind of rear bumper and exhaust is that?

ID:	383829I really like the BFG/ AT 315/70/17. They don't look super aggressive, but they are great on and off road. They also last for a very long time. I got 70k out of my last set on a heavy, 6,500 lb lifted Land Cruiser.

I've been thinking about that tire a lot lately and I think my mind is set between the Duratrac and the new BFG AT

I had a set on a work truck and got through some stuff I never thought would have been possible, but they did remarkably well and lasted forever.
