Default BFG AT KOs or Nitto Terra Grapplers?

So many choices, so little time. Which do I go with in an agressive AT. Won't do a whole lot of off roading ... just run fun trails with my little boys.


Looking for an all terrain (agreesive looking tire). I've narrowed my like to these two: BFG AT KOs or Nitto Terra Grapplers. Which will be safer on the road in wet and snowy weather.

Thanks!

Need some more feedback!!!

X2 go with the Nitto's. I have the Nitto Trail Grapplers and love them. I currently have the BFG's on my F250 and can not wait to get rid of them to get the Nitto Terras. The BFG's on my truck have worn bad and only have 25k to 30k on them.

love the NITTOs, i don't know how much this will influence your decision, but the sidewall has two designs for you to choose from...

Anyway, I'm getting NITTOs

The Terra Grapplers were designed to more of an MT to improve Nitto's limited Mud Grappler sales.

I would expect the Terra's to have much better off road traction. As a true and long lived AT the KOs will have better road manners and longevity.

I put 36k miles on a set of BFG AT's I had on my Tacoma. Dang things looked new. Never abused them, but didn't baby them either. Road noise was very slight to none. Great grip. I was satisfied and if I was looking for another AT, I'd buy them again.

I still have pizza cutting 31" tires on my Jeep that came with it from the previous owner. They are BFG's and these friggin' things just will not wear down! 35,000 miles and they look dam new. I mean I don't mind for now, no need to spend cash on tires until I need them but I'm dying to get larger tires. My previous 4 Jeeps have had BFG and they just last FOREVER and ever.....and are kick azz offroad in harsh desert where I live.

BFG AT's in my opinion. The Jeep is my daily driver and I'm constantly driving around in it and the road manners are excellent. Like someone said, road noise is next to none. Also, they can definetely hold their weight offroad. I've been to both East Coast JK Fests at Rausch Creek and the tires have never ever let me down.

My vote goes to the BFG

Both cool looking tires, have you checked out the GY Duratracs? They are pretty aggressive looking IMO, just a thought, can't go wrong with any of them for looks.
