Default Mud/trail grappler longevity and road comfort?

I have always ran toyos but I think for my jk build I'm going to change it up.
How long do your nittos last and mud compared to trails?
How's the offroad performance on the trail grapps?
What is the difference in weight between mud/trail and toyos??
Pics would be great and if anyone has any other suggestions throw em up, thanks

Love mine. Highway and trail are both killer. Rotate and you're good to go.

I got 40thousand miles on my mud grapplers and that was on a f150 they were 38's and rode like a Cadillac on the rode now I have 37's on my jk unlimited rubi and they are awesome I'm sure they will last longer being the jk is lighter I also used air soft bbs to balance

I love the Trails so far. I put them in the mud shortly after getting them, and IMO the performed better than the old GY MTRs I had years back. Definitely a step up from the KM2s!

Both are great tires, and will last if you keep them rotated and balanced. I have the trail grapplers, and they are great on and off road. I would definitely buy them again.

Drove from Michigan to Moab and back and they are great. they hook up to pretty much anything out on the trails and they aren't too loud. I love the sound they make. so far i think I have about 30,000 kms on them and they look great
