Default True height of Trail Grapplers

I am about to pull the trigger on a set of 35x12.50x18 Trail Grapplers. Can someone who is riding this tire tell me what they are seeing as an overall height on their Jeep? I know what the specs say but that really isn't an accurate number.

FYI.... I am also switching to the Rockstars. I have liked that wheel since the first time I saw it and am finally doing it. My wife saw them n a H*mm*r the other day and loved them.

For those that have them, are you happy with them? How are they in the snow?

I ordered mine this morning and am having them siped too.

Default Great Tire!!

I have the Nitto Terra grapplers and my only regret is that I didn't just order the Trail grapplers. I have 50,000+ / 4 years of wear with frequent tire rotations and they have held up great!!! (With decent tread left.) Nice ride on the sand and streets, decent on trails. CONGRATS, man!! Can't go wrong with Nittos. Never heard a bad word about them.

They are fantastic in the snow. Quiet on the highway, balence like Toyo's and great on the trail if aired to 10 or so. They are a stiff sidewall.
No regrets.
