Default Trail vs terra

Ok. So in debating between trail grapplers and terra grapplers. Most of my driving will be highway with minimal off roading. I don't want to go overboard or under what I need. Looking for useful help.

Your brain will say Terra but your heart will love Trail.

Teras are great all around tires. They ride well and are quite. They don't look as aggressive as the trails though.

I tried Terra Grapplers on my 07 JK and loved them. I now have them on my 2010 JK and my Ram 1500 4X4.

The Terra's aren't the coolest looking or most aggressive tire, but for an A/T, they work exceptionally well. Awesome in the snow, great for avg trails. I had them in a 33. If I go to an A/T again, it'll be the Terra's. They have a very very long tread life, almost too long if you're wanting to go bigger etc. Awesome tires though. Some old pics...

You said most of your driving is on highway, so that would indicate the Terra Grappler is a better choice. But if your offroading includes a decent amount of mud, the Trail Grappler will definately work better there. If it's a lot of hardpack or slickrock with minimal mud, the Terra Grappler would be the better choice.

Trail Grapplers all the way. I run them on my DD at 70mph on my 20 mile commute each way. approx 5K miles so far and they still look new. Quiet, smooth ride, and they look killer! However, they are an E rated tire and are some heavy SOB's. just something to consider.
