Default Last Time...Fierce Attitude MT vs. Nitto Trail Grappler

Ok, I promise this will be the last tire thread for a while. I've narrowed my choices of new 35" tires to the Fierce Attitude MT or the Nitto Trail Grapplers.

Thoughts between these two tires only please.

Info:
- 2013 JKU, 2.5 RK lift, 3.73 factory gears
- Daily driver
- Terrain is mostly dirt, mud, ruts and very, very few rocks. Biggest concern of punctures is stumps, logs or small cut off/down trees.

Get the Goodyear Duratrac 315/70/17's from 4wd.com for $259 each plus a $60 rebate and save yourself a serious pile of money. If I was buying 35's that is hands down the direction I would go. Ran them on my last 2 trucks, fantastic tire and at $100/tire less than the Nitto it is a no-brainer. Spend the $500 on something else for your Jeep. You will not be disappointed with the look or performance.

I love my Fierce Attitude's, have had them for just under 10k and haven't noticed much wear at all. Not a lot of road noise too.

I don't have any experience with the Goodyears but I am currently running the TG's and have zero complaints. 15k on them now and little wear.Click image for larger version

I would go with the one with the siping. Nittos are really heavy. I may still buy some Nitto's down the road, but I like my DT's which are similar to the Fierce's.

I have GY MTR/K 35's now, will probably be going with the TG when I move to 37's.

Only bad thing I've heard about the TG is the weight -- they are heavy compared to most other MT.

He wasn't asking for AT. OP specified between two tires. Maybe read the OP next time..

I don't see where he asked that. He clearly stated:
