Default new tire options

ive been waiting on an eta for more goodyear mtr/k but it looks like it wont be anytime soon...
so ive decided to sell my 4 and just buy another full set of different tires.
i currently have 38x14.50's and im debating on going with a 37, or stepping up to a 40.

here's the options ive been looking

pitbull rocker radial either 37, or the 41.5
nitto mudgrappler either 37 or 40
yokohama geolander + mt in a 40
interco irok radial 39.5

im tryin to stick with a radial since it still sees alot of highway driving

personal experiences with these tires will be a great help

thanks,
Donnie

That's a tough one as none of those will be great for highway use. I don't know much about the yokahamas. I know the other 3 are killer off road. I think I would give the edge to the mud grapplers

im prolly gonna go with either the pb rockers or mud grapplers

i can easily clear a 37, but if i step up to a 40, ill have to put the rusty's long arm upgrade on 1st

i have my 38" mtr/k's up for sale now after yesterday seeing how disappointing they did in the mud...


im looking at replacing them with 1 of the following

40x13.50 mud grappler
40x13.50 geolander mt+
39.5x13.50 irok radial

anyone with experiences with these please chime in. especially on the geolanders, i cant really find much on them and they are by far the cheapest out of the 3

or if anyone has a good suggestion on another 40" tire, let me know. i run mostly mud and trails, some rocks but not alot

I have the same tire and I was so sad when i got in the mud with them. But the Mud grapplers are much better in the mud than Iroks, but Iroks aren't bad either just not as good as the mud grapplers. Ive drove a friends jeep with Mud grappler and Im about to get them real soon. Im keeping my 38mtr/k for a street tire then the mud grappler for a offroad tire/ show off tire
